Dishes that will be featured on the UCOOK menu include Higgs’ Asian Sirloin with crispy ginger, nori seasoning and pak choi, Aubergine Ravioli with ricotta, sun-dried tomato and sage, Fried Trout with rice noodles, Tandoori Chicken with roast butternut and guava chutney as well as Higgs’ Green Risotto with goat’s cheese, truffle zest and spinach.

“David has had a meteoric rise to fame, from establishing Rust en Vrede as a culinary destination, to creating Marble and Saint, which are now two of Johannesburg’s most esteemed and popular eateries,” says UCOOK CEO David Torr. “He is undeniably one of South Africa’s most exciting and respected chefs.” Torr says that Higgs is also in support of the UCOOK philosophy of supplying local and sustainable ingredients along with nourishing and exciting recipes for preparation at home.

       

 

 

 

 

 

 

UCOOK is also passionate about bringing aspiring foodies a premium, unique and creative cooking experience they can enjoy at home. With the release of David’s memoir and cookbook, Mile 8, UCOOK took the opportunity to partner with him to offer their customers recipes that David has prepared in the kitchens of his career – including Marble and Rust en Vrede. “This partnership with UCOOK has provided the most incredible opportunity for me to take my recipes into people’s homes. It means they can experience the recipes, and the book firsthand, and bring them to life,” says Higgs.Torr says that UCOOK has also collaborated with Rust en Vrede to give customers a complimentary bottle of wine from the farm, which pairs perfectly with the recipes. “It’s not every day you get to enjoy recipes from one of SA’s top chefs, and sample wine from a farm he’s spent time on and understands. This is something really unique,” says Torr. UCOOK customers will also be treated to a De Villiers Chocolate bar in every box ordered over the campaign period.
