Last year’s participants and winners, Deena Naidoo and Stefan Terblanche will again take part in this year’s Celebrity Chef Showdown. It’s been 12 months since we saw Stefan go head to head with Tatum Keshwar at Gateway’s Cape Town Fish Market. “The last 12 months have been great and I have spent a small amount of time in the kitchen. Whether it’s more or less than last year is debatable,” laughs Stefan.

Stefan has said that this year he is looking forward to a new challenge, the new opposition and an entirely different menu at a new restaurant.
