    Ukkō – the new Bryanston hotspot

    It was ironic that our introduction to Ukkō, the newest Bryanston restaurant arrival, was during a typical Highveld thunderstorm, as the stylish Mediterranean tapas and sushi spot gets its name from Ukkonen, the Finnish god of thunder.

    Donna Crous’ Celebration Chocolate Cake

    Keep reading to learn how to make cookbook author Donna Crous’ dairy-free, gluten free and paleo Celebration chocolate cake!

    Chocolate lamington and cherry trifle

    Lamingtons are said to be the creation of Armand Galland, French-born chef to Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland, Australia, at the end of the 19th century. Faced with unexpected guests, Armand is storied to have cut up day-old vanilla sponge cake and dipped the slices in chocolate and coconut. A resounding hit!
