    Win a case of Flagstone wine this Valentine’s Day

    What’s not to love about Pinot Noir? There’s really only one wine that embodies the unfathomable mystery that is romantic love. Amorous, succulent and fleshy with a voluptuous perfume, no other red is as silky or seductive as Pinot Noir. Its colour is a garnet red blush and when it comes to sexy, Pinot Noir owns it! Pinot Noir is an enchanting wine variety with a quirky personality; part of the fanaticism around this varietal stems from the challenge farmers experience growing it and winemakers face producing it. (Also known as the heartbreak grape) Pinot Noir is particular, sensitive and…

    In December, we’re eating berries

    How to buy and store berries Rich in vitamin C, the berry family includes blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, gooseberries, mulberries, raspberries, red currants and strawberries. Once berries have been picked they won’t ripen any further so it’s important to look for fruit that is plump with a deep colour and perfumed fragrance. To check for ripeness, turn the punnet upside down. If the berries stain the lid or appear mushy they may be overripe and should be avoided as they are then only good for making jam. It’s best to refrigerate berries in their packaging or on a plate lined with…

    Ode to the microwave

    Two culinary experts got together to cook up a Christmas storm with the LG NeoChef™ microwave and what they came up with was pretty spectacular, to say the least! The microwave has become a household staple, but rewind almost four decades and it was a luxury item, mainly used to warm up food in South Africa… It all started when a passing salesman wandered into the first Hirsch’s showroom and placed the foreign looking appliance on the table. Having no idea what it did, Allan Hirsch took the problematic appliance to his wife, Margaret. Margaret saw the potential in the…
