S2-06. Emotions of the Sun - Seth Shezi
In this episode of A Table in the Corner, we step into the golden world of Veuve Clicquot’s Emotions of the Sun, the global photographic exhibition created with the legendary Magnum Photos agency, now shining in Cape Town at Youngblood Gallery on Bree Street.
My guest is Seth Shezi, Celebrity MasterChef winner, global traveller and lifestyle tastemaker, who curated the Sun on Your Plate Café for the exhibition. Inspired by light, optimism and the emotional power of the sun, Seth created a Cape Town centred menu perfectly paired with Veuve Clicquot’s cuvées, including the iconic Yellow Label.
We talk about his journey into cooking, his long relationship with Veuve Clicquot, how Magnum’s photographers shaped his creative thinking, and how Cape Town’s light, colour and energy influenced the dishes he created for this unique summer experience. Seth also shares insights into South Africa’s evolving food identity, the chefs exciting him right now, and how he balances a global lifestyle with his South African roots.
The Emotions of the Sun exhibition runs from 4 to 21 December at Youngblood Gallery, 70 Bree Street, Cape Town. Tickets include a glass of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label and access to the exhibition, the Sun on Your Plate Café and the gifting boutique.
