Gordon Ramsay Learns How to Braai
Gordon Ramsay Learns How to Braai – Gordon Ramsay is no stranger to cooking. From his world-renowned Michelin starred restaurants to his highly successful television shows, the celebrity chef has established himself as a culinary master in multiple cuisines.
Recently, he decided to take on a new challenge: learning the art of braai cooking in South Africa. Braai, which is Afrikaans for “barbecue,” is a traditional way of cooking over an open fire that originated in South Africa. To learn the art, Ramsay sought out the expertise of some of the top braai masters in the country.
The journey began with a trip to a local restaurant called Die Kreefhuis in Stellenbosch. There, Ramsay learned about the different types of wood used for braai and how to properly prepare food for the fire. He also got a chance to try his hand at cooking traditional South African dishes like boerewors, pap, steak and lamb chops over an open flame.
The next stop on the trip was to a game reserve called Mala Mala. Here, Ramsay got an up-close look at wild animals like elephants and rhinos while also learning about the unique way of cooking over hot coals in the bush.
Ramsay’s travels ended with a visit to Johannesburg, where he went to learn from local braai champion, Braaimaster. Here, he observed the different techniques used to make braaied dishes like sosaties, which are spiced kebabs made with lamb or beef and an array of vegetables.
By learning about this traditional way of cooking, Gordon Ramsay was able to add another skill to his repertoire. Not only did he gain a greater appreciation for the culture and cuisine of South Africa, but he also came away with a deeper understanding of the art of braai cooking.
With his newfound knowledge, Ramsay has already begun applying it to his own cooking. He recently released a new cookbook, “Gordon Ramsay Learns Braai Cooking” that features some of the dishes he learned to make during his journey. No doubt, many more braai-inspired recipes are sure to come from this renowned chef.
No matter what type of cuisine he chooses to tackle next, one thing is sure: Gordon Ramsay will continue to be a leader in the culinary world and an ambassador for global cuisine.
