Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
Follow 'Breakfast with Martin Bester' as they go on a taste journey across the world.

Get ready for a flavourful adventure! 'Breakfast with Martin Bester' is on a mission to prove that you don’t need to travel far to experience authentic tastes from around the world – because Taste of Global is happening right here in Gauteng.
From Greek and Korean to Italian and Mozambican, we're exploring the world's most delicious flavours without leaving the province.
From Monday, February 24, we're launching something truly special on 'Breakfast with Martin Bester', brought to you by FNB Private.
Welcome to Taste of Global – an eight-week culinary journey that brings global cuisine to our studio and your airwaves.
Each week, from Monday to Thursday, we'll explore the flavours, traditions, and stories behind some of the world's most iconic dishes.
A
featured country will take centre stage every week, with a chef, cook,
or flavour maestro joining us to showcase their nation's signature
cuisine.
These countries include:
South Korea
We visited the Korean Cultural Centre South Africa, where chef Christine Bae showed us how to make the iconic South Korean dish Bibimbap.
Mozambique
Musician, foodie, and Mozambican local Pedro Barbosa shared his recipes for these dishes while also offering insight into the rich culinary traditions of South Africa's neighbouring country.
Italy
The team made a stop in Italy to explore two iconic dishes: Brutti e buoni and porcini risotto. Paul Maciel and Emilio Coccia from The Cookery by The Secret Jozi Chef show us how to make these Italian classics.
Ghana
During our stop in Ghana for 'Taste of Global', chef Deborah Darkey shows us how to make authentic Ghanaian dishes while sharing more about her rich culture.

These aren't just meals – they're experiences, deeply rooted in culture, history, and passion.
Just as a great dish blends the right ingredients to create something extraordinary, FNB Private combines local and global expertise to offer tailored financial advice and support.
This journey goes beyond food – it’s about unlocking new possibilities, both in the kitchen and in life.
We'll share these incredible dishes with friends, uncover the rich stories behind every bite, and post a new recipe on social media for you to try at home.
