360on62 Mountain View Farm Cottages in Montagu (Accommodation Review)
360on62 boasts 360° Views, & sits just off the R62 nestled between the Majestic Langeberg & Swartberg Mountain Ranges, 8km from Montagu.

Episode 1 of MasterChef South Africa Season 5
The first episode of MasterChef South Africa season five was a long-anticipated one! Having been part of the fourth season of MasterChef, I can’t help but compare while watching the show.
The Contestants in MasterChef South Africa Season 5

A Cook-with-Me Demo in the Bosch Showroom in Cape Town

La Colombe announced Best Restaurant in Africa
The World’s 50 Best Restaurants for 2024 have just been announced, and Cape Town’s own La Colombe made it into the top 50. The win took me down memory lane, to my wife’s birthday three years ago, which we celebrated in style at atop the Silvermist Wine Estate.
What it was like to cook live on the Expresso Show
Being on “Your Feel Good Morning Show” isn’t how it looks on TV… Being a guest on Expresso gave me a whole new level of respect for the presenters (Ewan Strydom, Graeme Richards, Ryle Rene de Morny and). Live TV is not easy. You have to be quick on your feet, and be able to multi-task.
