Chef of the Month – Ash Heeger From ASH

No Comments

Ash Heeger is one of the coolest chefs on the Cape Town block. Fearlessly female and sporting more tatts than some blokes we know, this pint-sized chef is making waves and literally going from strength to strength. Her restaurant ASH is currently (at the time of the interview) in the throes of being remodelled and renamed and the news should be hitting the streets soon about the new name and theme. We caught up with Ash to find out a bit more about her, her passions and food and of course…what’s the deal with all the tattoos… Ash, tell us how you wound up in this industry, is it something you have always wanted to do, or was it a happy coincidence? Honestly, I’ve never even considered following another career path. I was, as I recall the only one of my friends/ peers that knew what I wanted to do…

Eat Out At These Latest Restaurants In Joburg

No Comments

Our favourite spots to get some really good food, exquisite drinks and enjoy the cream of the epicurean crop in Jozi… Est Est Alea Est Est Alea is a new tasting restaurant in Parktown North Johannesburg created by the acclaimed Chef Dario De Angeli, of Cube Tasting Kitchen fame. Est Est Alea was born out of the idea of constant evolution in a fine dining experience. Dario is a perfectionist by nature and someone who wants to push boundaries when it comes to dining. After owning and running Cube Tasting Kitchen successfully for the past 8 years, it was time for a transformation. Their lunch menu is a 2-course, 3-course or 4-course tasting menu while dinner is offered from 7pm onwards and is a choice between their exploratory menu (9 courses) or their 6-course menu. Some of the tantalizing dishes on their exploratory menu include smoked cucumber heart with yoghurt,…

Jamies Italian launch hearty new winter menu to much acclaim

No Comments

One of our favourite Italian restaurants has to be Jamie’s Italian located in Melrose Arch, we love the double volume dining area, and the mix of wooden tables and tiled walkways, and the fact that the kitchen is fully open, allowing the public a chance to catch a glimpse in to the buzz of the kitchen – which it certainly does do when it is busy! Jamies has been serving up yummy Italian nosh for a few years now, and have just issued a few changes to their highly popular menu. The thing that is so exciting about this menu change is that this is the first Jamie’s to deviate from the well known international standardised menu – and incorporate not only more local foods, but also uses sustainable ingredients sourced locally – thereby not only ensuring that the menu remains consistent, but also in some cases reducing the cost…

Hemelhuijs x So Yum…a magical culinary journey

No Comments

Hold on to your gastronomic hats Joburg – the home of the Cape’s most sophisticated food explorations (in the form of traditional Cape farm cuisine) are heading our way, by way of a rather neat collab too – may we add! Hemelhuijs and So Yum have collaborated to present Hemelhuijs x So Yum, a new offering anchored by Hemelhuijs’ famous breakfast menu served at So Yum’s Hyde Park premises. The culinary partnership was brought about by stalwart So Yum’s recent move to a new, larger and more central position upstairs at Hyde Park Corner – one of our fave shopping destinations in the heart of Sandton. Jacques and Ernst Fischer, owner of So Yum and various other Asian restaurants had long joked about collaborating, and So Yum’s move presented them with the opportunity. The breakfast menu at So Yum is small and focusses on more traditional Japanese foods, but the…

New Fine-Dining Restaurant Grei Opens At The Saxon

No Comments

We love fine dining and the latest offering at one of our favourite Sandton hotels has to be top of our eating out list right now. Grei is headed up by Chef Candice Philip and, as the name implies, is a 32 seater restaurant centred around a palate of grey tones, featuring a vivid burst of colour. Says Chef Candice “Essentially, grey is colour without colour,” she explains. “This has been a huge inspiration in developing the look and feel of the space, and menu.” The muted tones will create a calm, sophisticated atmosphere for the colour of the dishes to stand out. Having been with the Saxon for over a decade, Chef Candice shares with us that the name Grei loosely translates from Portuguese as “a society of people” and artfully blends together her love of unusual pairings, her passion for herbaceous flavours and her signature style of intricately-plated dishes.…
