KAREN Dudley is a food poet. It’s not just what she cooks, but the way she speaks about food; making it sentient, colourful, erotic.
Her meals are “mostly vegetable-lead” and she wants those vegetables to “sing” so that dishes with strong character can “play nicely with each other”.
Dudley ran The Kitchen, a popular eatery in Cape Town’s Woodstock area, until Covid-19 closed it
