Bringing together an all-star cast, Checkers rolled up its sleeves for online food and wine masterclasses. The classes, which bring together experts in their fields, draw attention as they are open to everyone and free of charge.

Bringing together star names including food writer and presenter Sarah Graham, celebrity chef Zola Nene, wine expert Dr. Winnie Bowman and South Africa’s first Michelin-starred chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, Checkers aims to inspire the audience with its masterclass series. The classes will teach people who spend more time at home than ever before to make healthy and creative meals with new techniques in their own kitchens and also convey how they can make the most of the ingredients.

Each masterclass instructor guides the audience in their own areas of expertise with close-up and understandable videos and shares the ingredients of their special recipes. The first masterclass was hosted by Sarah Graham and showed the audience how to adapt fresh farm produce and plant-based nutrition to their plates. The class is available for free on the Checkers website and YouTube channel. Checkers gastronomy masterclasses will continue in July and August
