What an EPIC evening at @legranddomaine Enoteca in What an EPIC evening at @legranddomaine Enoteca in Church Street, Stellenbosch! Thank you @kurt.schoonraad for such a lekker show - can we please have more comedy in Stellenbosch!!? Such a tonic for the soul! Truly magnificent wines by winemaker @debbiethompson from @legranddomaine. And did you know they're all available by the glass? Go pop in over the weekend. 🍷🥂🔥 #comedy #wine #winter #visitStellenbosch
Yesterday I spent the afternoon at @leopardsleap i Yesterday I spent the afternoon at @leopardsleap in association with the team from @foodloversmarket, celebrating authentic South African food, reimagined by chef Christiaan Visser. "Rys, vleis en aartappels" has never looked so stylish! He even made a "hoendersosatie" into a premium starter. To end, we enjoyed his late grandmother's "brannewyntert" with the most delicious caramelized pecan nut crumble and caramel sauce. Chef Christiaan, thank you for sharing your family's recipe secrets with us! And thank you Leopard's Leap for the delightful wine pairings and welcoming staff & service. 🍷 Best of all was to share a table with a bunch of spirited South Africans who all truly appreciate the magic of gathering at a table. 🥂🍽️ Special thanks @cupcakes_and_couscous for the fab conversation! 😉 #SAkitchen #FoodLoversKitchenDiaries
I've made this chicken liver pâté with brandy an I've made this chicken liver pâté with brandy and thyme too many times to count. The secrets to a great liver pâté are 1) LOTS of butter, 2) proper seasoning (good old salt) and 3) to blend the mixture for a long time until it is truly silky. It's relatively inexpensive and such a treat when you have friends over. The recipe is in my first book, Cape Mediterranean. Photography by @tashaseccombe. #CapeMediterranean #chickenliverpate

This hearty, moist pearl barley pilaf is made with This hearty, moist pearl barley pilaf is made with a few spices, some roasted brussels sprouts (sub with broccoli or courgettes if you prefer), toasted almonds and sweet yellow sultanas. Beautifully textural, comforting, and packed with nutrients. (After all the chocolate cupcakes I've consumed since yesterday, it's just what my body needs! 😉) Photography by the delightful @tashaseccombe. Recipe link in bio.
It is wild mushroom season in the Boland - I wish It is wild mushroom season in the Boland - I wish I had more knowledge about wild mushrooms to be able to forage my own on the farm where we live! 🍄🍂 (Check our @delheimwines's mushroom foraging events) In the meantime, I'll just buy portabellinis from the supermarket shelf. 😊 This chicken and mushroom casserole with Cape Tawny is one of the most popular recipes from my second book Simply Seasonal - a super easy, any-day-of-the-week dinner, featuring fall-apart chicken in a creamy wine sauce. (I just saw that my book is on a serious special on @takealotcom - your chance to get it at R289 for a very limited deal. 🔥) Photography by the fabulous @tashaseccombe.

Vanilla French toast with creamed ricotta and hone Vanilla French toast with creamed ricotta and honey - something easy (and deliciously indulgent) to make this weekend for breakfast! My favourite bread to use for this recipe is store bought mosbolletjies, but any brioche or soft white loaf will do. #MothersDay Get the recipe link in my bio. 🍯 Photography by @tashaseccombe. ☀️
Today I had the utmost pleasure of experiencing Lu Today I had the utmost pleasure of experiencing Luke Dale Roberts’s brand new dining concept, Salon @saloncpt - an eatery and bar in the Old Biscuit Mill silo building, Cape Town. The nine course menu “The Journey” represents various world destinations that has formed a big part of Luke’s life and career. A shorter five course version “The Explorer” is also available. I got to taste 6 of the courses today, and diners are definitely in for a flavour trip of note - my favourite was the “Forest Noir” dish from France - absolute perfection in a duck liver parfait topped with sour plum jelly and dark chocolate, served with a mini parmesan brioche. Salon is open for dinner only, Tuesdays to Saturdays. Bookings are OPEN! #saloncpt #lukedaleroberts #journeymenu
This dreamy fig focaccia with green olives, rosema This dreamy fig focaccia with green olives, rosemary, olive oil and lots of salt flakes was inspired by @mynhardtj recent recipe for a grape focaccia with @kwv_cathedralcellar. He gifted me some beautiful ripe figs from @xtn_family_farm, flour from @eurekamills and olive oil from @willowcreekoliveestate. The flavour combo of it all together works so beautifully. I also made a creamy salty blue cheese spread - heaven! Thanks Mynhardt for the inspiration! Find the full recipe on my blog. 💜
As promised, here are more photos of my recent sta As promised, here are more photos of my recent stay at @untether_getaways Romeo off-the-grid solar-powered eco-pod outside Wellington. It’s the ultimate luxury to be spending quiet time in such a stellar natural setting, with no specific schedule, no noise and no-one else in sight (the closest other structures are the other pods, cleverly angled away from one another and hidden by trees, with some farm houses far in the distance). Time seems to slow down, and you become aware of a tangible freedom in those moments: an untethering that comes naturally.

Thank you to the untether team for your generous hospitality – I have a newfound respect for the deep passion that underlies the creation of such a special destination and experience. You have outdone yourselves.

I’m having the most incredible unwinding weekend I’m having the most incredible unwinding weekend at @untether_getaways in the DuToitskloof hills, staying in an off-the-grid pod with everything you might possible need. Wood fired hot tub, braai, pizza oven, indoor fireplace, outdoor (and indoor) shower, multiple indoor and outdoor seating and dining areas, a work station, wifi, meal kits, wine, extra fire wood and fire lighters, well-marked walking/running trails, views for days, even a personalised diary book and pen - I think I never want to leave! My pod is one of 3 on Untether’s Olive View estate, and it’s only an hour’s drive from Stellenbosch. I’ve been taking high res photos too, will share these over the next few days. The team of Untether will be adding more experiences to their website soon, so watch this space! Go to @untether_getaways and click through to their website to view rates and availability, as well as add-on extras such as meals. Congratulations to Elretha, James and the rest of the team for creating one of the best luxury eco-friendly experiences in SA. ⭐
It's not everyday that someone sends you ready-to- It's not everyday that someone sends you ready-to-eat Provençal roasted lamb shanks (four!). Not only that, but also the most beautifully curated selection of seasonal products to celebrate Easter and Autumn and all things heart warming - wines and grapes from @kwv_cathedralcellar, foccacia mix from @eurekamills, olive oil from @willowcreekoliveestate and figs from @xtn_faily_farm (shanks from @delicofarmstyle). THANK YOU @mynhardtj and team for showering me with your generosity!! I reheated the shanks (with green olives and artichokes) in my oven and enjoyed it with creamy polenta, fresh figs, sweet cinnamon pumpkin and a glass of KWV Cathedral Cellar Triptych. It was simply sublime. xxx
