Gourmet raw food pioneer Dr Aris Latham is looking forward to visiting South Africa, where he will headline the fifth edition of lifestyle festival, The Good Life Show.
“I already feel an instant connection to South Africa’s wellness scene, and I am particularly interested in the agricultural richness of the soil and all ingredients and spices that the country has to offer,” said the health enthusiast.
Known for his advocacy of raw foods, Latham will share his expertise on cuisine at The Good Life Show.
The festival will first take place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 30 May to 1 June. The Joburg leg will be hosted at the Kyalami International Convention Centre from 1 August until 3 August.
Aimed at those with an interest in food, health, wellness, the environment, or more conscious living, as well as trade professionals including retail and food service, The Good Life Show is a food, drink, and conscious living event.
Having spent decades teaching chefs and enthusiasts alike about the benefits of raw food, his culinary workshops have made waves worldwide, from the European Vegetarian Congress in Italy to the World Veg Fest in India.
“I believe more and more chefs are embracing plant-based cooking, and I hope to encourage more South African chefs to ‘break the boundaries’ and explore the exciting world of raw cuisine,” he said.
