Ancestral Flavours Under the Full Moon: A One-Night-Only Indigenous Feast at Makers Landing

Cape Town’s food scene is no stranger to innovation — but every so often, something comes along that goes deeper than creativity. It taps into history. Into memory. Into magic.

Enter the Full Moon Indigenous Food Story, hosted by Shihaam Domingo, aka The Food Witch, at Makers Landing.

Taking place on Sunday, September 7 under the pull of the full moon, this 7-course dining experience is more than a meal — it’s a homecoming.

  • Rooted in the foodways of the Khoi and San, this evening is a sensorial journey through seasonal abundance, earth-wisdom, and ancestral storytelling. Each course is crafted with intention — liver kissed by flame and infused with indigenous herbs, preserved and foraged ingredients that carry the quiet power of the land, and flavors that don’t just nourish the body, but stir the spirit.

It’s food as ceremony, where every bite tells a story — of memory, migration, community, and care. Guests don’t just eat; they participate. They gather. They remember. And it’s not just about what’s on the plate — it’s about where it comes from. This experience champions the work of earth custodians: foragers, growers, preservers, and picklers who uphold the practices of our ancestors with care and pride.

Hosted in the heart of Cape Town’s culinary hub, Makers Landing, this one-night-only event invites diners to slow down, connect, and taste a lineage that’s often overlooked but never forgotten.
