Exploring the rugged Cape West Coast of South Africa, Reza Mahammad discovers that the people are as hardy and resilient as the landscape. Starting in the fishing village Paternoster, he meets a local chef who takes him foraging for mussels in the icy Atlantic waters. She then teaches him about a variety of wild flora that can be harvested for the table. Reza then moves on to Velddrif where he visits a salt farm, goes to sea with local fisherman in a small boat and has a lesson in making West Coast-style fishcakes. Taking his West Coast experiences back to his African Kitchen Reza prepares Mussels in a Spicy Tomato and Tamarind Sauce and Chilli Crab Cakes.
