The event features Italian One-Michelin-Star Chef Pasquale Palamaro, known for his artistry at Indaco Restaurant in Amalfi, Italy.

Sushi meets South African tradition in a fun and innovative twist as Dumisani Lukhozi, sushi master at John Dory’s, recently guided Miss Soweto Top 20 finalists through a unique sushi-making experience using White Star pap instead of the traditional rice. The masterclass, a first-of-its-kind, highlighted the versatility of pap while celebrating local culinary heritage, blending familiar South African flavours with contemporary gastronomy.
One of the highlights from the session was a California roll made with pap. The roll included juicy steak strips and a flavourful chakalaka mix, rolled together and topped with a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Once shaped, it was sliced into four pieces and served upside down on a sushi plate, accompanied by fresh ginger and wasabi.
Another innovative creation was the Bean Curd sushi, where bean curd pockets were filled with pap and topped with a mix of coleslaw and chopped fried chicken strips. This dish offered a delightful combination of textures and flavours, and was served on a sushi plate alongside ginger and wasabi, presenting a playful twist on traditional sushi.
The masterclass also showcased a Mini Poke Bowl designed around fried pap balls. The pap balls were first dusted in tempura flour, coated in batter and crumbs, and fried until golden brown. These formed the base of the bowl, which was layered with tender boerewors cubes, chakalaka, avocado, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. The result was a visually appealing and flavour-packed dish that fused South African ingredients with the sushi experience.
The Sushi Masterclasses hosted by John Dory’s are available nationwide and are designed for everyone, from casual diners to culinary enthusiasts. Occasionally, private group sessions are offered for corporate events or special occasions, and advanced booking is recommended as spots often fill quickly.
This initiative, led by Spur Corporation, not only demonstrates the adaptability of pap in modern cuisine but also encourages South Africans to explore fusion dishes at home. By integrating traditional ingredients into globally inspired recipes, the masterclasses create an enjoyable and educational culinary experience for participants.
About Spur Corporation:Spur Corporation is a leading casual dining group with over 738 outlets across South Africa, Africa, India, and Mauritius, operating well-known brands including John Dory’s, RocoMamas, Spur Steak Ranches, Panarotti’s, The Hussar Grill, Doppio Zero, Casa Bella, Pizza e Vino, Nikos, and Modern Tailors.

True to its name, which means “the path,” Ayana guides diners through an immersive experience that begins with its serene poolside ambiance and culminates with indulgent desserts.

Each dish is crafted with precision, honouring its origins while presenting a modern twist. The bar complements the menu with artisanal cocktails infused with Indian botanicals, spices, and local flavours, alongside a curated selection of fine wines and craft beers.
Designed for intimate dinners, celebratory gatherings, and exclusive events, Ayana offers a mix of communal seating, semi-private corners, and open decks.

“We are thrilled to officially welcome guests to Ayana. Our vision was to create more than just a restaurant, we wanted to craft a journey where each dish tells a story, each flavour evokes tradition, and every detail reflects India’s rich culinary heritage.”
Vaibhav Sagar, General Manager, added:
