Dinner Party Prep

Introducing the amazing fillet salad… Had an amazing dinner party. One where old friends from far and wide came and drank way too much champagne and wine. And one where everyone over-indulged. Par for the course. I had 15 guests and most certainly didn’t want to be hustling in the kitchen when everyone was outside […]

1890: Sushi Heaven

Obz Gem… I think sushi and immediately think Minato’s, Beluga, Sevruga or Food Lovers, until now. My lovely friend Max kindly introduced me to 1890, in Observatory. Don’t expect suave decor, amazing service, or a pretty area because you will be incredibly let down – however do definitely expect outstanding sushi for next to nothing. […]

Delaire Graff Restaurant

The much loved and spoken about Delaire Graff restaurant was where I spent my valentine’s day, and it truly is worth every bit of saving and starving! I won’t harp on about it too much as I think the pictures say it all, even though they were taken on a blackberry! The food was outstanding, […]

Health Pizza at Hen’s Party

A late post but anyway… This was my friend hen’s party where I was a bridesmaid. It was at a wine farm in Stellenbosch, de Zalze and we all spent the weekend here. This is the table that was set up outside, all pretty and pink and girly – just how we like it. We […]

Rosehurst, Natal

Hometown Glory… I am originally from a small town in Kwa-Zulu Natal called Pietermaritzburg where there is very little to glorify! Finding a place to have lunch is a challenge, and more often than not it is safer and more enjoyable to cook up a feast at home! So much so that my sister, Mum […]

Wild Olive

I have always had a slight obsession with candles. From buying those trashy gel ones with glitter in them from Cardies when I was 11 to the beautiful one’s I discovered while living in London. My bathroom has them everywhere as well as the rest of my house. I have two huge vanilla one’s that […]

Reuben’s

An all time favourite. On top of us all over-shooting the mark at the wedding, a family lunch had promptly been scheduled for the Sunday. Too much. But Reuben’s never disappoints. I’m sure most people have paid this Franschoek gem a visit, and if not, I’m sure it’s on your to do list. If not […]

Sotano

Mouille Point A lot has been going on with wedding preparations, hens party preparations and goodbyes and on top of all of this my new job has started. All of which have been amazing. Amidst the wedding preparation there have been a couple of memorable restaurant experiences, as one does when on holiday. On Thursday […]
