Sumac-dusted fried chickpeas are a lovely, lighter alternative to potato crisps or nuts to snack on with drinks. They’re also fabulous sprinkled over salads.

I sit down to (yet another) sensational cup of coffee with Jaco de Witt and business partner and MasterChef SA 2013 runner-up Leandri van der Wat after a relatively chaotic morning of shooting, dodging customers, skirting around coffee grinders and hilariously positioning the two of them to create the perfect portrait. The morning is only halfway done and already we’re all three cappuccinos down. After a lengthy conversation about speculoos (a Dutch nutbutter with a flavour reminiscent of the Nuttikrust biscuit) and her sister Seline’s bizarre consumption habits (let’s just say that 800g of speculoos saw its demise in only…
