This Heritage Day, we celebrate the Cape Malay koesister, a much loved South African favourite known for its soft, spiced dough, fragrant spices, sweet syrup and coconut.

These familiar flavours inspired our Koesister Crêpes, featured on our Spring Menu 2026 at Prue Leith Restaurant.

Enjoy Cape Malay koesister bites with delicate crêpes, fresh naartjie segments, spiced syrup, toasted coconut ice cream and naartjie dust, with the crêpes and sauce flambéed for a touch of theatre.

Celebrate these flavours with us in our restaurant, or recreate a taste of South African heritage at home with our Cape Malay koesister recipe.

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa! 🇿🇦

A special thank you to Chef Vicky for such an inspiring demonstration, and to Valrhona and Wild Peacock for bringing another memorable industry experience to the Prue Leith Culinary Institute campus.

Our second day at Menlyn Maine for Italy In Town was every bit as delizioso as the first! From fresh pasta and panini to cannoli and tiramisù, our students brought their skills, energy and passion for Italian cuisine to every plate.

More than just a weekend of incredible food, Italy in Town gave our students the opportunity to take their training beyond the classroom — working alongside our chefs, serving the public, developing valuable hands-on skills and experiencing the energy of a real culinary environment.

Two days. Plenty of pasta. New skills. Unforgettable experience!🇮🇹

Grazie, Italy in Town, for having us!
