There are two things in this world I really like. Ok more than two but there are two which fit nicely in this story. Those two things are specials and puns. INTRODUCING: TGIF (thank Grant it’s Friday) Chef Grant from Tobago’s at The Radisson Blu Hotel will create a warm, hearty winter meal paired with a…
A while ago I went to a Pulp Fiction dinner at The Office and pretty much, the whole world was jealous because it was the best time ever. Ever. Ever ever. So, this time, don’t be a fool and miss out. We just got this secret tip from The Office that they’re having another event…
Kloof Street House – what a flipping lovely restaurant. Tucked away behind a high wall and lovely garden, you don’t feel like you’re sitting in the middle of town, but in someone’s beautiful home out in Constantia. Starters Steak tartar // R95 for 120g or R180 for 200g Kloof Street House don’t mess about with…
I’m jealous of people who come to Cape Town and get to experience it as a holiday destination. While I realize this is completely irrational as I get to live here, that escapism and feeling of “difference” when you come to CT is just so damn great. I never feel that around here, it’s just,…
I have never been afraid to admit that I don’t know very much about wine. “That one is red and that one is white” and “I like this one because sipping it doesn’t make me squinch up my face like I have eaten lemon and/or tequila” are frequent descriptors of mine. So I decided to…
I have a new best friend. Like, we’re talking best friends forever and ever. Why? Not only does he have a well-rounded personality, and never makes me feel like I have egg on my face when I do something dumb – he is also giving away R10,000 in Checkers vouchers and other amazing spot prizes!…
SecretEATS. The vibe is as follows: you apply to receive invites to dinners (I doubt anyone gets rejected though), then you get a mysterious email telling you a bit about something that’s coming up, then you pay, then on the day you get the details on where it is. This sorta thing normally freaks me…
When Checkers set their sights on something, they really do make it happen. One of these things is their Cheese World. They just have so much freaking cheese, both local and international. There are about 400 or so to choose from – pretty much my ultimate fantasy. Another thing they do is cool blogger drops,…
Pretty often “friends” from far and wide ask if we can do them a favour and promote something of theirs. Some arb jam, a new type of cookie cutter, a sandwich of some sort. And we have to politely decline. It’s not often that something truly blows my mind. And that is exactly what a…

My fridge is FULL of sauces, salsas and tapanades. Full. I am not even exagerating, we struggle to fit food in it. I am obsessed with all things spicy and salty, so I find it very difficult to stop myself from buying every new condiment that I see. And last week I found one of…
