ABOUT


Simfonia Juventi Concert with Patagonian cuisine.


The event

Simfonia Juventi Heidelberg is a celebration of classical music in the historical setting of Heidelberg, Gauteng, on the grounds of the century old Volkskool. This event is very special as it is the second of only 3 concerts performed by this orchestra annually. We believe that Heidelberg was selected as venue for its rich cultural heritage, its excellent location and the conviviality of its people.


Each year we strive to offer our guests a culinary treat. This year we bring you Patagonian cuisine.

"You see the possibilities of fire, the fragility. It's not a rough thing, it's an extremely tender way of cooking. Seven fires are the techniques that I grabbed from my country and some parts of South America (Argentina).

First we have the grill (parrilla) which is the barbeque. That we all know. We have a plancha (chapa) with fire, which is a cast-iron grill. We love that. Then we have the wood oven (horno de barro). The caldero (a big cast iron pot). We have a curanto, which is cooking in a pit with hot stones. There are some traces of that, that are 12,000 years old in Patagonia. We also have rescoldo, which is cooking in ashes (specialy vegetables). We have infernillo "little hell" cooking between two fires so you have heat from both sides. Then we have asador, which is hooking on a iron cross a whole animal.

Between all these techniques we can cook almost anything." Francis Mallmann
