Alphabetical wine at the Siris Vintners trade show 2012 was paired with… music. Music by The Black Keys, to be precise. See for yourself. As far as trade shows go, this was relaxed, fun and wit...
“Beans, Beans, The Musical Fruit” is a schoolyard saying and children’s song about the capacity for beans to contribute to flatulence.” You really have to love how Wikipedia p...
Jason Bakery is known for cranking out sandwiches of glory, kickass pies and arguably the best croissant in Cape Town, depending on who you’re arguing with. He also hosts a pizza night every Th...
Bought some stuff at that great Thai supermarket on Main Road, Sea Point, on Sunday. Aside from fish sauce, peanut oil and a bunch of vegetables (bok choy!), I also bought some instant noodles. There...
Not much beats a lazy weekend afternoon meal at a house with good friends. Here’s how to make things perfect so your guests will feel extra special. 1. Don’t go with run-of-the-mill snack...
It’s all downhill today after this breakfast. Toasted croissant, several slices of Dutch Mature Gouda from Mediterranean Delicacies, two soft-boiled eggs (5-minutes is the perfect time) peeled ...
What I’m most excited about right now? That on the last day of the month I fly off to Portugal for 10 days of wine, food and adventure with two friends. Part work-research, part-holiday, all fu...
I’m particularly fond of spinach and feta pie. Sad thing is, usually it’s eaten in the form of a take-away pie from a 24-hour garage shop that only tastes decent because I’m feeling...
I started writing a whole post about how I honestly believe that despite the dangers of its abuse, alcohol still contributes much good to society. I was just getting into how (mostly) responsible use...
A short roundup of my favourite breakfasts in and near Cape Town. Because you should love breakfast. Because a good breakfast sets the tone for the day. Because it’s the only reason to get out ...
So you’ve probably all been watching as things have progressed on Masterchef SA every Tuesday night. It must be the most talked-about show in the country, and there’s been no shortage of ...
Many of you might think a bagel is a young Jewish man with a penchant for wearing open shirts and too many gold chains who likes to hang around Sea Point, but a bagel is also a food item. There’...
Caveau Eggs Benedict do not disappoint. A long-standing favourite, served with Black Forrest ham on a croissant. I know this guy who makes this wine who also happens to have a cool wine shop in Riebe...
Dolmades, dolmades, dolmades. Aside from being a tasty vine leaf-wrapped rice snack, it is also one of those culinary words that are enjoyable to say. Like Vichyssoise. Or Mozzarella. Or Puttanesca. ...
Amongst the feasting of Easter weekend was this discovery: pickled fish on hot cross buns. WTF? Yup, I didn’t know it but apparently this is a Cape Malay tradition. The Google Machine quickly c...
The beer day continues. How awesome are these Devil’s Peak Brewery labels? Great work. This pic is from Loading Bay (@LoadingBaySA) who apparently sell it. Along with burgers on Thursdays. Rad....
The Mail & Guardian today released their Top 20 Wineries in South Africa list, as compiled by local wine journo Tim James. It’s a pretty solid selection of our best wineries, with the big-h...
Salmon bagel, untoasted. Your mom finds you really interesting. You think SASSI is a term that describes your outfit rather than your seafood. You once ate your bagel toasted, just for a rush. But it...
1. Go to Vino Pronto. 2. Ask for a bottle of La Vierge‘s Jezebelle Chardonnay 2010. A cold one. 3. Go directly home and open the bottle, pour a big glass. 4. Drink it. Enjoy it. Perhaps sear yo...
I’m really looking forward to the next few wine brands who step up and realise that content is not just about branded information, it’s about entertainment. More of the above video: simpl...
1. THE MEXICAN HANGOVER CURE. Holy swine of the land, but the food at Cosecha on Noble Hill wine estate blows me away every time. Next time you’re feeling a little hungover, go try the spicy pu...
Recent events at Mulderbosch have been, well, somewhat of a big deal. For those out of the industry loop, without getting into too much boring detail, here’s the skinny: Mulderbosch was bought ...
Well played, Col’Cacchio. A local food brand that’s grasped Twitter 100% and created a campaign that incentivizes people to spread the word on Twitter simply by getting a discount on thei...
Comfort Sunday lunch is slow-cooked pork belly with roast baby figs and polenta by the talented sister. For Eggs Benedict times, make it Caffe Milano times. Frankie Fenner Meat Merchants. A bunch of ...
Two of my best friends got married a year ago and threw one of the most memorable receptions ever, at The Roundhouse, undoubtedly one of the most scenic restaurant locations in Cape Town. And unlike ...
Frankie Fenner bloody mary chourizo, olives, Terra del Capo Pinot Grigio snack o’clock. Empire Cafe Muizenberg ‘Scram A’ breakfast.
Constantia Fresh 2012. A kick-ass wine dinner on the Friday night at The Greenhouse with Peter Tempelhoff’s high-brow experiential cuisine paired to some local and foreign wines extraordinaire....
“Table for two, please.” Yes, Valentine’s day is a fucking minefield, especially when it comes to restaurant choices. Go high-brow and you’re poncy and making too much effort....
Let’s start the new year by dwelling on the past. When I was a kid I remember meals mostly by the things left uneaten on my plate. Shameful piles of boiled peas and carrots that I’d have ...
Do yourself a favour the next time you’re feeling slightly overworked, stressed, tired, uninspired or just imprisoned by the city, book a cottage at Die Laaitjie. Actually, let me elaborate. If...
