    7 Cardinal kitchen rules for 2017

    Start the New Year on a clean chopping board by banishing bad habits and myths in the kitchen. 7 Cardinal kitchen rules to make 2017 a breeze: When using fresh garlic, stop stressing about chopping and crushing it. Make your life easier – peel and simply grate on the finer side of the grater. How to peel the banana the right way: most people peel bananas from the stem down, often bruising and squashing the fruit. Next time, approach it from the other end of the banana: “pop” the knot and peel, using the stem as a handle – voilà!…

    We’re giving away 2 x R1000 Baci® Perugina® hampers

    Baci® Perugina® has a delightful love story that starts in 1922 in Perugia, a medieval city in the heart of Italy. Baci® Perugina®, hazelnuts wed to chocolate, let millions of people express their love. It all began when a young chocolate maker created a special bonbon for his beloved. The confection, originally called cazzotto (punch) because its shape evokes a fist, was wrapped in a billet-doux, the Love Note that still today makes Baci® Perugina® unique. Everything about it was perfect but the name. It was as exquisite and sweet as a kiss, a bacio, in Italian. And so Bacio®…

    9 Kitchen hacks for Christmas success

    Take a look at our 9 kitchen hacks for Christmas success: If you don’t have string to truss your turkey, don’t stress about it. Simply use dental floss. Add fresh – or frozen – berries, sliced citrus fruits and sprigs of mint to water or juice. Refrigerate to infuse and chill before popping onto your festive table for added colour and lightly flavoured water.

    Nutella brioche pizza served with baklava ice cream and berries recipe

    Nutella brioche pizza served with baklava ice cream and berries – Junior Chef

    “Greek lamb or baklava?” I asked 10-year old Demi Anaïs Koutsoudakis, affectionately known as Demi, and her little brother Maximo, aka eight-year-old Max. Without giving it a second thought, both enthusiastically agreed that Greek roasted leg of lamb is enjoyed most at their family gatherings, and it would undoubtedly form part of their Christmas lunch menu this year – however, syrupy baklava came fairly close in their festive foodie favourites. Kids of Maira and John Koutsoudakis of the Life Group of Companies (internationally awarded interiors and architecture practice, and owners of the eponymous Life Grand Cafés), the family is rooted…
