Yesterday was the third time that I ate at Stargarden Boutique Café, since it opened in Fish Hoek about six months ago. I had to drop my friend Ali Tanguy in the Deep South, and so it was a perfect opportunity to return to this delightful restaurant, my favourite on that side of Table Mountain. My only regret is that it is so far from where I live in Camps Bay. 
It is an exciting achievement to have published the second book in my SwitchBitch trilogy, entitled âSwitchBitch: My journey of transformation in Walking the Camino, Sole to Soulâ, following in the footsteps of SwitchBitch Book 1, which I launched a year ago. SwitchBitch Book 1 focused on my Physical transformation, in losing 45 kg, while Book 2 is focused on the Spiritual transformation after walking the Camino. Yesterday the Book was presented at a Preview launch at Stargarden Boutique CafĂ© in Fish Hoek. 
Last Saturday I had to be in the âDeep Southâ of Cape Town, attending a media breakfast at the new Tintswalo at Boulders in Simonstown, so decided to have lunch at Stargarden Boutique CafĂ© in Fish Hoek whilst I was in that part of our city. The âBoutique CafĂ©â descriptor in the name gives it away, a creative Eatery serving creative dishes.
