The MasterChef Australia contestant has decided to make SA his home and he has big plans, including his first cookbook, a TV show and an exciting new development in Cape Town.
For fans of MasterChef Australia Ben Ungermann is a household name. He was the runner-up in season nine in which he earned himself the title of the “King of Ice-Cream” and returned as a favourite in season 12,The Australian celebrity chef has now relocated to SA where he plans to make big moves on the food scene. We spoke to him to find out what’s next, what he loves about Mzansi and what his best tip is for making the perfect ice cream.I’m really stoked to be in SA.
I did not actually expect to achieve so much as I have already, considering I came here and started all over. But it just goes to show how warm and inviting South Africans are. Even if they don’t have a lot, they’ll offer you everything which is something I absolutely adore about here and why it will be home.There are some things I can and can’t say. I can tell you that everyone has been hitting me up for a long time for my own establishment and that it’s definitely going ahead.
You are known as the ice cream king and people automatically associate that with you. Are you saying you are going to be moving away from that? SA is definitely going to get their version of an ice cream at some stage. I just don’t want it to be my first venture. I’ve got a whole lot more to offer and I’ve done the gourmet ice cream parlour before in Aus and also in the Netherlands and I just wanted to challenge myself with something else that I’m quite passionate about and I feel like it’s going to be something very accessible and very exciting to everyone.I’m stretched. I don’t have enough time in the day.
