Great food is like great sex. The more you have the more you want ~ Gael Greene
If you live in Johannesburg, South Africa (as opposed to Johannesburg, California, and yes, there is such a place) and are looking for somewhere to get a decent range of organic grub from, you might be struggling. Because let’s face it, the organic selection in our supermarkets is woeful – there’s more diversity in a boyband album [...]

In my man’s opinion vegetables rank just above botulism and nuclear waste on the list of the things he’s keen on. To him, anything not smothered in enough cheese sauce to keep the cardiac unit at Groote Schuur working overtime, is to be viewed with Great Suspicion. As I love him, and would kinda like [...]

If you’re overly concerned by your waistline, then I suggest you invest in a kaftan and hide your scale for the next month or so, because the first week in October is going to be to any attempts to diet, like Al Capone to prohabition! Not only is the Taste of Joburg on (see the post [...]

Fabulous Friday Feast
I’ve decided that Friday is actually my favourite day of the week. I’d always thought it was Saturday, but it turns out that it’s not – which is, for me, a rather startling revelation! And why, you may ask (if you’re particularly bored), would I make this obscure change of allegiance? Well, it’s [...]

soon-to-open Morningside Shopping Centre. The French Market will be held every Sunday, bringing
everything that is fabulously French to Morningside residents.

I’m not a huge fan of festivals; frankly I’m kinda crowd-phobic and get really irritated with people dawdling in front of me – I become overwhelmed with an insane urge to shoulder charge them (clearly I have a lot of unresolved anger issues), but even I will happily knock back the rescue remedy, hum myself [...]

I am completely and utterly bats about olives – I can easily hoover my way through an entire jar of them on any given day (I console / lie to myself with the thought that they’re good for me, which they no doubt are, but probably not in the quantities I consume) anyway, suffice to [...]

I thought I’d share a tip with ya’ll that I find rather useful. You might already do it, in which case feel free to feel very clever (I know I do ) but if not, I really would give it a try… Now, by this time, you ‘re probably wondering what staggeringly brilliant, hitherto unknown, [...]
