Prince Albert

Kokkedoor 

~ filmed in Prince Albert ~ 

with Prince Albert competitors too!

kykNET (channel 144) every Thursday at 8pm from 11 April 2013

kykNET is op soek na Suid-Afrika se bobaas onthoukos-kokke - of te wel, ons heel eerste KOKKEDORE.

KOKKEDOOR is 'n splinternuwe 13 episode realiteits- kookkompetisie waar ons lang arm en basaar hou, skoustalletjies pak en biltong maak, poedings bak en padkos pak en brood knie en koek bak! Alles met die doel om die heel beste kokke in Suid-Afrika op te spoor, wat nie net kan kook met herinnering en nostalgie nie, maar ook ons diepste verlange en hartskos so kan aanbied dat ons dit met trots die een-en-twintigste eeu wil indra en aanhou maak!  

The reality cooking competition, produced by Homebrew Films in Cape Town, builds recipes and challenges around Afrikaans "legacy foods" - or nostalgic meals: classic Afrikaans dishes, updated but still relying on the original taste and history of the meal.

Join us to celebrate our 21st Olive Festival!

April 2014

 
Prince Albert showcases its talent, its innovation, its old-world charm and its awe-inspiring setting. The Festival is designed to attract visitors to our town... to experience our unique and caring community, to give it a bit of a cash injection and to create some temporary jobs and opportunities for work experience.
  
Great food at street food-stalls, a craft market, loads of comfortably shaded seating areas. There'll be country music, there'll be cool jazz and, if you have a band, there could be you! There'll be a coach tour into our beautiful Prince Albert Valley , wine and olive oil tastings and, of course, lots and lots more.

We give visitors a real taste of Prince Albert ... hospitality, good music, great food and the very best Karoo experience.
