Inside chef Michelle Theron’s wine-first seasonal gastronomy at Vergenoegd Löw . At Vergenoegd Löw, gastronomist Michelle Theron blends idealism, pragmatism, culinary mastery, and a humanist worldview. “Humanists see the world through an ethical lens,” she explains. “That’s why I was so moved by Zen master Kodo Sawaki’s words: ‘Air, water, plants, animals, and humans give themselves to each other. It is in this giving-themselves-to-each-other that we actually live.’ It’s a reminder that all life is connected and deserving of respect.” Michelle’s sense of purpose found a home at this luxury Stellenbosch heritage wine estate, where she draws inspiration from a regeneratively-run, holistic ecoverse that nurtures vines, vegetables, herbs, livestock, and an impressive array of beehives.

Barley is an incredibly versatile ingredient to have in your pantry. It has a nutty flavour, chewy texture, and is packed full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The two main types of barley you’ll find in stores differ by the way they are processed. Pearl barley is the kind you’ll probably see most often. It is processed, or ‘polished’, to remove the outer bran layer and husk; as a result, it is light in colour with a matte finish.
