The combination of rich, succulent meat and sweet, slightly tart is a match made in heaven. This plum and pork sausage salad is the perfect light lunch.
TO DRINK (F&HE): Go for Meinert Synchronicity 2005, which is rich and peppery with hints of beetroot and spices.
A deliciously hearty dish that’s bursting with flavours. Pumpkin cannelloni in carrot chilli cream combines wonderful earthiness with sharper spiciness. Perfect as a warm, comforting dinner dish.
TO DRINK: Graceland Three Graces is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and merlot. It is intensely fruity, with red and black fruits, yet it is also wonderfully elegant.
Date, lavender, marzipan and nut cake is an unusual flavour combination, but an absolutely delicious dessert. These rich, lingering flavours will be perfect with a cup of tea.
Elegance and some good old favourite flavours combine to create a stack of goodness. Let this ham and cream cheese terrine with chives and mustard take centre stage. To drink: A bubbly like Boschendal Brut Rose NV is fun and festive. Recipe by Illanique van Aswegen Photograph by Adel Ferreira
