Switch to ostrich with the International Hotel School

Students from The International Hotel School will be cooking up something special in top supermarkets this month!

A strategic partnership between Klein Karoo International (KKI), which supplies 65% of the world’s ostrich meat, Willow Creek Olive Oil, and Snappy Chef, will see our young chefs showing consumers how to cook up flavoursome feasts.

The IHS chefs will also introduce consumers to the safe, fast, and stylish Snappy Chef, a revolution in cooking that cuts electricity usage by half and cooks 64% faster than an ordinary stove.

Ostrich – the healthy alternative

Surprisingly, many shoppers still haven’t sampled ostrich, which is an ideal choice for health conscious consumers – it’s low in fat and cholesterol, high in iron, rich in protein, and contains no antibiotics or growth stimulants.

KKI’s product range includes fillet, goulash, mince, tenderloin, burgers, sausages/boerewors, as well as Russians and Vienna sausages. Their products are free range and halaal.

Whilst learning all about ostrich from our International Hotel School students, take time out to taste KKI’s ostrich biltong and droe wors, and ostrich liver pate – and don’t forget to collect some information sheets and recipes to try at home!
