100 Flavours was an interpretation of a what a South African Food Museum could look like. The 100 Flavours exhibition, that ran for six months at Makers Landing in the V&A Waterfront, educated and inspired visitors with a gastronomic journey through South Africa’s iconic ingredients, recipes, cooking methods and culinary tools. Visitors could discover South Africa's edible past amid archaeological evidence of the earliest cooking over fire at Gauteng’s Cradle of Humankind; savour the first feasts with prehistoric Cape West Coast shellfish midden mounds; admire the creativity of the ancient honey hunters depicted in KZN’s San rock art and then marvel in a past-meets-present epicurean experience with a wild flower honey tasting. All the while walking amongst the foundations of the pre-colonial Khoi Camissa trading station.
