Let me set the scene. Oreo wanted us to create our very own festive-type holiday inspired recipe, incorporating their new brand Oreo Golden. Sounds great, hey? Yeah totally, except for a small problem…..I hate baking. I hate that there are so many rules. I hate that you can’t just add stuff and live like a…

I am super judgey of South African television. Always have been, always will be. I often struggle with production values, with content, and with the over-the-top, happy-go-luck fake South African cheerfulness that we for some reason always perpetuate. People do realise that you can be happy without smiling all the time, right? So when I…

“Hi, we’d like to invite you to the Ron Zacapa launch!” “Ron Za-who-ha?” “Ron Zacapa!” “Oh, ok cool, I love clothes!” “No, no no… It’s a type of rum.” “Lies” “It’s from Guatemala” “Lies.” “Just come to the launch” “Mkay” I toddled into Kloof Street House with zero expectation. I read that it was a…
If you know me at all, you’d know I don’t have a sweet tooth at all. And I love an excuse to be judgey. So when I was asked to be a judge (yes man!) at a NoMU baking competition (no man!) I was a little torn. But my love of being judgey was way…
So, the other day Kamini Pather, 2013 winner of Masterchef SA, saw Gordon Ramsay ask who wanted a Christmas message on Twitter. She then replied to him and included me (KayliVee) in the tweet – saying that when we met him together earlier this year, it was practically the best day ever and a Christmas message…

For a while I’ve wondered why NoMU don’t have olive oil – such a kitchen essential – in their range. And voila, now they do. With a nifty flip lid, this beautiful bottle of oil looks very pretty on my counter. Sourced from the award-winning De Rustica Olive Estate in the Cape Swartberg mountains, the…
