Think Rex Hunt meets Francis Mallmann, with a dash of Anthony Bourdain thrown in for good measure, and that's Duncan Welgemoed - a South African-born chef and the founder of Adelaide's highly acclaimed and award-winning Africola. Head chef at The Goose at Britwell Salome, Oxfordshire, when it was awarded a Michelin star in 2005, Duncan arrived in South Australia in 2010 and opened Africola shortly after. Over the years, Duncan has become an Australian icon - part mythical beast, part troublemaker and part conversation starter. His restaurant, Africola, tells a story close to his heart and has been featured in countless magazines, newspapers and TV shows around the world, as well as frequented by rockstars and celebrities alike. His previous book - Africola: Slow Food, Fast Words, Cult Chef - became an instant bestseller.
