Judy Badenhorst is a long-established champion of Cape cuisine. Her term at the Old Cape Farmstall set a standard that others still try to emulate while the River Café at Constantia Uitsig still offers many of her signature Cape-inspired dishes. At the Lucky Store in Stellenbosch, she and winemaker son Adi have gone back to basics in a big way – serving the honest, homemade fare that has shaped much of the region’s food culture. Pickled fish, fragrant bobotie with yellow rice, waterblommetjie bredie and the likes of ‘pens and pootjies’ (tripe and trotters) sit comfortably alongside more ‘sophisticated’ offerings such as the beetroot, butternut and feta salad. A celebration of ‘local is lekker’.
