I heard that Hussar Grill is spreading its wings and will be opening a new restaurant at Silverstar Casino. Although I won’t be able to attend the launch evening, it reminded me of a totally decadent lunch we had at the Montecasino store a couple of months ago. So that …
I returned from the holidays with a bit of a sybaritic hangover. It feels as if, finally, the serious and grand feasting has caught up to me! I guess it does have a bit to do with the inevitable “new year, new me” bandwagon, but it is as if my …
Getting up at 4 am on a weekday means that: Pro: Less traffic on the road, so the 32 km ride to work is (usually) smooth sailing. Con: Breakfast is usually very much a ‘grab and go’ affair. So one of the reasons I love weekends is that there’s actually …

I’ve been following the ‘cook your own meal kit at home’ trend for a while now. The two (US-based) podcasts I’ve been listening to religiously the past couple of months has got such a home cooking kit supplier as one of their sponsors, and it always sounded like a pretty …
I was absolutely thrilled to be invited recently to attend an intimate event hosted by Nederburg entitled ‘Table Your Story”. This exclusive dinner was to celebrate the 10 winners of Nederburg’s #TellMyStory marketing campaign. This campaign, launched in October 2018 …
Lozärn wines first caught my attention a year or so ago when I came across an article about this wine farm’s interesting and unique offering, producing Carménère (traditionally from Chile) on local soil. Seeing that I am a very visual person (in other words, I like pretty things), the super …
