Creative Director, copywriter, and co-owner of the Foodblog Group. I heart oysters, gin and tonic, and clever advertising.
Us Capetonians love a market. Sitting in the sun, eating different foods, drinking different drinks, judging strangers… I mean, ya.. Well.. hmm.. let’s be honest, this is Cape Town. And now there is a new, very central market and it comes with a harbor view at the V&A Waterfront. The official launch is this Saturday […] More
Pizza. I’m yet to find someone who doesn’t like it. Food, in general, is one of those things that everyone has an opinion on, and they’re convinced that only they could possibly be right. And when it comes to pizza, those people can be very strong headed. THICK BASE! THIN BASE! LOTS OF CHEESE! A […] More
THIS JUST IN (saying that made me feel fancy) The official Burger King Twitter handle has officially been hacked, and is now tweeting about McDonalds. How long will it take them to figure it out…. I hope quite a while, because I am finding this rather hilarious. Check it out at @BurgerKing More
I love an event. I love creative people. I love a beautiful venue. So, luckily I had the chance to collaborate with It’s A House and Tribe Coffee to host drinks, a dinner and a cupping session with a few of Cape Town’s loveliest people. GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER, DAMMIT! Coffee cupping […] More
“We eyed each other suspiciously. I’ve known her for 21 years, but tonight I wouldn’t trust her with my pen. Was it her!? DID SHE KILL HIM!? DID SHE KILL BRUTUS IN THE BASEMENT WITH A FORK!?” I love a murder mystery more than most things, although if I am honest, I normally get too […] More
Don’t read this review. Instead you should just call Dear Me Food World and book a table for their White Room on Thursday night. Ok? Great. Bye. The White Room, open every Thursday night, can hold up to 24 people. Each dish on the menu is an experience. On the centre of each table is […] More
As much as you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, a lot of us do and sometimes you miss out on something great. Funnily enough, restaurants do it too. You think they’re a certain kind of cuisine, but are really completely different – like Jackal and Hide – while it looks like a bar […] More
A restaurant with a view is always hot-property, and in Cape Town (when the summer sun stays up through your entire dinner) we have so many views to choose from. One of my favourites is the view from Wakame in Mouille Point –I love the sea, but I hate sand – so Wakame is a […] More
It’s a new year and Five Flies is getting things going at full steam. First off, they have a brand new Executive Chef, Mark Heller, whose come from Sun International, Radison Sandton and Europe Munich Continental. He has made some forward thinking and exciting new additions to their menu, which we will be sampling in […] More
So this health thing is kinda working for me. Kinda. I had an alcohol-free Bloody Mary the other day – now that was a big step. You read all over the news that smoothies aren’t as healthy as you think, and in many cases it is true. However, if you are making it yourself and […] More
I’m attempting to give up alcohol for 2 months and so far I’ve made it 10 days (minus the 45minutes it took me to drink 1½ glasses of wine, but we’re pretending that didn’t happen). OBVIOUSLY it would be now that I find this fancy ‘lil infographic, of… 30 gloriously drinkable shots that I want […] More
I don’t get out enough. I mean, I live in Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities in the world and I spend far too much time indoors. So, I aim to spend more time doing interesting things outside (SUGGESTIONS WELCOME) – the first of which was a tour and picnic at Uitkyk Farm. […] More
