There will be demonstrations on each of these three days from 2pm to 4pm and from 6pm to 8pm. The cost is R850 a person and includes an apron and a welcome drink.

In 2017, he decided to pursue his dream of a life in food on MasterChef Australia with a strong push from family and friends. He learned so much during the season, finished as runner-up, and discovered a love and talent for desserts and his now-famous ice cream.

Dubbed the ‘ice cream king’ by his fans, the cry was for an ice cream parlour and he and his brother opened the Ungermann Brothers retro ice cream parlour earlier this year.

He describes his food style as rustic with a hint of sophistication, showcasing diverse and unique flavour combinations. So far, he has been able to work with some of the best chefs internationally from Yotam Ottolenghi and Clare Smyth to Heston Blumenthal.

Since MasterChef Australia, Ungermann has been travelling the globe from Japan to England and his homeland in the Netherlands with his culinary adventures and has brought Ungermann Brothers ice cream to a global market.

Capsicum Pretoria campus Mark Coombe principal says: “We are delighted that Ben will be giving masterclasses at our school and anyone who wants to learn the art of ice cream making should not miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to do so and at the hands of the master."

Capsicum Culinary Studio is situated at Menlyn Square, Ground Floor, South Building 134 Aramist Ave, Waterkloof Glen.
