I've always had a love hate relationship with birthdays. Around the age of 13/14, I decided I hated birthdays, specifically my own. Media tells you how birthdays ought to be this huge thing but in everyday life, that's not always the case. I hated the inevitable disappointment which was always preceded the programmed expectation. I … Continue reading Annica’s Cake Magic

Just cause one transitions to a plant-based diet doesn't mean one no longer gets cravings that aren't necessarily plant-based. From eggs to chicken and steak cravings, I have definitely experienced them all. For the most part I can now identify what nutrients my body is lacking in causing the cravings, and what plant-based substitute I … Continue reading Lexi’s Plant-Based Breakfast

I completely thought and believed my eating out days in Joburg were over, or significantly slimmed down, ever since I started my plant-based/ vegan diet transition. And from the research I'd been doing, most 100% vegan restaurants are in Cape Town, then there's less than a handful in Joburg. I even started thinking that perhaps … Continue reading LoveRevo Vegan African Dinner

With the change in season, we often only focus on fashion trends, but really, we should be thinking about food trends as well. Why? Well, according to Wayne Dietrich — Head Chef of The National eatery and speakeasy in Parktown North — smoky undertones and light, zesty dishes are the flavours for this winter. I know it … Continue reading The National Winter Menu

It's not everyday the family gets together for a much needed bonding session with some lunch involved somewhere. Unfortunately, not only will I need to continue researching if the chosen restaurant has vegan options [which I don't mind doing actually], but now it seems we need a way to find out if the restaurant cares … Continue reading Appalling Service At Jim & Jerry’s

On my drive to and from work every weekday I pass the Garden Shop in Bryanston. Yes I love plants and it was definitely a place I have been meaning to visit since February, but beyond that I kept seeing that all inviting Munch Cafe logo. A few times I'd get to the office and … Continue reading Mellow Vibes At Munch Cafe

No matter who you are or where you're from, chances are, ever so often you appreciate a really good burger over some laid back conversation with friends on a sunny yet breezy afternoon. I see you nodding your head in agreement. I see you and I feel you. After a superb session at HintHunt, my … Continue reading Bomba** Burgers At Jerry’s

Yesterday, 6 February 2018, I was invited to join in on Chef Marnus Scolly's Summer Menu at Clico Restaurant.  I was literally counting down the days till I could experience this because I always drive past Clico and think, 'I should come here one day', but life gets in the way, until yesterday. From the … Continue reading Cozy Summer Lunch At Clico

Last week Thursday, 01 February 2018, my work wife and I decided to reignite our First Thursdays dates by joining the commotion on Keyes Avenue. Ironically, it was truly commotion we drove into — seems like the rest of Joburg had the same idea and Keyes Art Mile was just unbearably overcrowded for us. Given all … Continue reading Sensational Supper At Saigon Suzy

We all know how Mondays can be, tedious to say the least. I'm pretty sure caffeinated drinks were designed specifically to help the human race cope with these dreaded days.  It was no surprise when my colleagues and I couldn't focus the one Monday morning and decided a coffee break was in order. We ventured … Continue reading Five Bucks Brekky At Sticky Waffle
