Lunching at Parks Cafe Wynberg
We don't get out much. No seriously, doing lunch is tantamount to a social occasion we manage it so seldom. When one works from home, lunch hour is something you snatch on the run whilst picking up the wee one and sprinting into the local bakery double time f...

I thought I soy a sushi bar …
I remember myself, age fourteen, squidging up my face in revulsion at what I’d just put in my mouth. Not the actual taste of it, mind you - in hindsight I’m sure it was delicious - but the thought: raw fish wrapped in seaweed? I wasn’t having any of it. Until ...
Rise and shine, Breakfast in Cape Town
