The Marine Stewardship Council launches its Ocean Cookbook 2023 [FREE]

Chefs and fishers from 18 countries unite to support sustainable seafood for healthy oceans! 

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), the ocean not-for-profit responsible for the world’s leading sustainable seafood ecolabel, has launched its highly anticipated ‘Ocean Cookbook 2023’.

The free digital cookbook brings together chefs and fishers from all over the world to create a collection of healthy, delicious everyday recipes that tell a sustainability story about the seafood we all love. 

The ocean is a vital part of human life on our planet. It provides daily protein for over a billion people, it is a reliable source of food for billions more, and 200 million people are employed directly or indirectly by the seafood industry. But our ocean needs help: overfishing, illegal and destructive fishing, and climate change not only negatively impact species and ecosystems, but communities too. The cookbook highlights how easy it is to rustle up affordable, healthy, easy-to-make and sustainable seafood dishes at home – suitable for the whole family. The cookbook is the centerpiece of the MSC’s communications and marketing campaign for the new year, traditionally a time for healthy and more environmentally conscious eating.

Louanne Mostert, Senior Communications Manager for the MSC adds:

A new year is a new start and a new opportunity to make better choices and take care of our ocean for future generations. At the MSC, we recognise all seafood consumers for supporting sustainable fisheries through your purchasing choices. When you buy seafood with the blue MSC label on pack, you’re helping to protect oceans, livelihoods and fish for the future.

“That is why we need to put measures in place now so that our kids – future generations – also benefit from the ocean. That is why we work with the MSC to ensure we minimise our impact on the marine environment,” said Wilfred Esau, Skipper at Irvin & Johnson (I&J), as part of the South African hake fishery which has been certified as sustainable since 2004.

Included in the choice of recipes are a simple and delicious Cape hake recipe by South Africa’s much adored chef and nutritionist, Naledi Toona. “Cooking has always been an act of love for me and hake is such a versatile, sustainable and quick to cook ingredient. It allows me to show love to my family, today, and to those in the future,” she adds.

The cookbook includes stunning photography from internationally renowned food photographer, David Loftus, who has worked with Jamie Oliver throughout his career. David Loftus is a great believer in sustainable fishing: “This goes way beyond food. It’s about the future of our Ocean. We need to step up to the plate right now, or we’re in deep water.”

The MSC invites all seafood consumers to join in their global movement “Big Blue Future” by cooking sustainable seafood from their new cookbook.

Win an original African Ginger NFT worth $25,000 + 20,000 FREE Whoppers with Burger King & Pepsi

Burger King and Pepsi collab on new virtual game giving away Renowned Artist African Ginger NFT’s with an estimated value of $260 000

Some things work better together than others, in fact something legendary happens when the right things come together – like Burger King and Pepsi.

Leaning into the power of the perfect partnership, this December 2022 and January 2023 will see the winning combo combine to collaborate with hot Mzansi artist, African Ginger, with ‘X Marks the Drop.’

During these two months, South Africans are invited to take part in a nation-wide search for  virtual tokens, with an opportunity to win an original African Ginger piece of art and NFT worth $25 000; 1 of 10 000 limited edition African Ginger NFTs (with an estimated total value of $260 000), along with 20 000 free Whoppers up for grabs. Along with this, offers like discount codes or free PEPSI with meals purchased can be won each day.

Seth Pimentel, A.K.A. African Ginger, is known for his unique illustrative style. He creates art with depth and meaning, often pushing boundaries by merging traditional and digital work into a hybrid of experimentation. His works for ‘X Marks the Drop’ are consistent with his style whilst still incorporating Burger King and Pepsi brand colours.

Ezelna Jones, Head of Marketing for Burger King SA, says: “Gen Z grew up online playing games so combining the world of a digital token hunt and NFTs is a natural transition, especially for those seeking to own an original digital picture from African Ginger. Like fashion and traditional art, Gen Z members express their personalities through the digital art they collect, including NFTs that represent their passions. ‘X Marks the Drop’ with Pepsi ticks all the boxes as we offer them the opportunity to be incentivised for doing something they would normally be doing while gamifying their experience with our brands.”

“I am incredibly proud of the successful partnership we have built over the past 9 years with Burger King and PepsiCo, this Collab of two great brands is one more step to show South Africa how innovative we can be in this channel. We wish all our loyal customers and consumers all the best in their virtual hunt for tokens,” says Martin Charles of PepsiCo SA.

The virtual hunt is a collaborative piece created by Because Creative Experiences and their technology partners Inner Reality supported with media strategy and execution by Initiative Media.

Iceland’s Award Winning Reyka Vodka Now Available in South Africa

Living in a place like Iceland, gives one an interesting view of the world. It’s a beautiful place, but it’s also rugged and provocative. It requires its people to live creatively and take an inventive approach. And so when it comes to making vodka, Reyka followed this path. You can see it in their unique distillation method and innovative process. And you can surely taste it in the distinctive flavour of Reyka’s award-winning vodka.

A product of Borganes, a small village steeped in Viking history, Reyka Vodka is hand crafted in preciously small batches in Iceland’s first vodka distillery.  Hailing from a land of fire and ice, Reyka makes the most of Iceland’s resources – using nearby glacier spring water and lava rocks as a natural filtration system.   On top of that, the distillery is also powered by geo-thermal energy from nearby hot springs. This gives every drop of Reyka its smooth taste and silky finish.

Fuelled by living on the edge of the Arctic Circle, Icelanders come from a tradition of self sufficiency and making many things by hand, infusing nature and our own unique perspective in virtually everything we do. From the resourceful use of lava rock and glacier spring water, to being the only vodka in the world that uses a Carter-Head Still in distillation, Reyka Vodka is able to bring you the essence of Iceland by producing a smooth tasting vodka unlike any other. – Shaun Stemmett, Brand Manager for Reyka.

Reyka’s hand crafted process takes about 6 hours to produce a small batch of only 1,000 litres of vodka, using one of the only Carter-Head Stills in the world – and the only one that is used to make vodka. This precious spirit is then analyzed by the Master Distiller to ensure each and every bottle retains the highest of high quality.

Reyka made its debut in Iceland in 2005, when William Grant and Sons set out to make the cleanest and smoothest vodka in the world.  It has developed an exceptional taste reputation internationally; in 2011 Reyka was awarded the Vodka Trophy at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) and in 2013, the Gold Medal in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and ‘Very good—Strong recommendation’ at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

With a taste described as exceptionally smooth and rounded with a soft natural sweetness and a slight hint of wild fruits, Reyka Vodka is now available at leading liquor stores. Bottled at 43% ABV, RRSP R299.95.
