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.

Effortless Everywhere: The Rolls-Royce Cullinan

No Comments

The most anticipated car of 2018 and, quite possibly, the most anticipated Rolls-Royce of all time has just landed in SA. Named after the largest diamond ever discovered which now resides in the British Crown jewels, the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan is an all-terrain high-bodied car that makes the idea of authentic, luxury off-road travel a reality for the first time. “The launch of a new Rolls-Royce model is always a seminal moment in the luxury industry.

Tau Game Lodge – a walk on the wild side…

No Comments

The city is busy. It hums and pulsates with an urgency that drives all Joburgers. We work hard, we stay up late, and we do whatever it takes to get to the end goal. But let’s be honest, everyone needs some peace and quiet, a bit of rest and an escape on occasion. A chance to switch off and recharge the batteries – yours and your phones! We recently took a trip out to the picturesque Tau Game Lodge, located on the border of Botswana and within the well-known Madikwe Game Reserve. Roughly a 4-hour drive from Johannesburg (barring any roadworks or slow trucks ahead of you) this is the ideal long weekend or even week-long stay spot, that caters perfectly for those thirsty for bush sunsets, chilled vibes, big game and minimal cell phone signal. There are no less than 27 major species of game that roam around the…

What better way to experience great wine than with ‘The Mentors’

No Comments

We love good wine, and sharing good wine with friends and family, but an experience with the aptly named KWV collection titled ‘The Mentors’ is one that you will certainly not forget. Studying anything from a Mentor is always a great idea, and when it comes to wine drinking, we support this theory 100%! The winemaking team at KWV, under the guidance of wine maker Izele van Blerk realised that the boundary-breaking approach in The Mentors cellar was leading to remarkable terroir-driven wines that deserved their own spot light from the other KWV offerings. The first wines were bottled in 2006, but it was in 2009 that The Mentors range prepared it’s wings for flight. Although they now produce a staple portfolio of eight wines, the winemaking team have the enviable freedom of pursuing innovative new varietals and blends from every harvest – taking their cue from the vineyards.
