    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. However, with the exception of a concrete art sculpture by Marlecia Marais of the deity, who was believed to control rainfall and thus the harvests, that’s where the Finnish part of the evening began and ended. Rather, Ukkō owner Mun Manal, used the name as an extension of his idea to curate a space where people come together to celebrate special as well…

    How to brown butter

    Brown butter, where do we even begin? It’s a one-ingredient wonder with the power to elevate your bakes and savoury dishes from ‘meh’ to ‘hell yeah!’. Brown butter is made by cooking butter over the stovetop just long enough for the milk solids to caramelise. Aptly dubbed liquid gold or beurre noisette (French for ‘hazelnut butter’), brown butter adds an addictive nutty taste, toasty aroma and golden hue to food. Although it sounds fancy, there’s really nothing to it…all you’ll need to make your own is a frying pan, a few minutes of your time and, well, butter. How…

    Ganache in all its glory

    Chocolat is one of my all-time favourite foodie movies (alongside The Hundred-Foot Journey, of course). For those of you who haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour and add it to your weekend plans. One of my best parts is when Vianne, the main character, is busy creating chocolate treats throughout the night in her quaint and rustic French chocolaterie. Amongst enticing scenes of her crushing open cocoa beans and ladling chocolate into moulds, it’s hard not to feel spell-bound when she mixes a big bowl of glistening, velvety ganache. Made up of rich chocolate and cream, ganache is the…

    DIY Hazelnut Spread

    This DIY Hazelnut Spread only contains 5 ingredients! Made with real, natural ingredients, this DIY hazelnut spread will soon become your go-to spread.  With a slightly chunkier texture than you’re probably used to, we wanted to create a chocolate spread that tastes real and looks real, and that is better for you than the store-bought stuff (at least without all those additives). You will need a high powered food processor to make this recipe, as the hazelnuts take a long time (and a lot of power) to break down. INGREDIENTS 3 ½ cups raw hazelnuts 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 tsp…
