Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a sunny day at 18C, but chilly now as clouds roll in for rain later tonight, with very cold winter weather awaiting us from Thursday onwards; for an early Manager meeting at Zest, the first which I have attended, followed by a Marketing meeting with Chef Pavel, and then greeting two sets of Camps Bay guests in the restaurant; for having the slow tyre leak fixed at Super Quick in Sea Point, taking 5 minutes and costing only R100; for donating blood, receiving a cooler bag which doubles up as a seat too, it is so strong, and a pair of socks, which I’ll donate to a car guard; for a working Continue reading →

Meet Chef Judi Fourie of Pilcrow & Cleaver and Fideli’s: 2021 Top 10 Woman Chef!

 

Chef Judi Fourie received recognition as one of the Cape’s Top Women Restaurateurs last year. This year she has been selected as a 2021 Top 10 Woman Chef, owning both Pilcrow & Cleaver as well as Fideli’s on Parliament Street in the Cape Town city centre, as well as three Judith Fresh Cafés. She received a bottle of Adhara Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil as her prize.

It was the restaurant  I supported the most during Lockdown, collecting a freshly-made order combined with a friendly chat with Chef Judi, and a shop at Fdeli’s.

Tielmann, who saw me on my terrace when she walked past with her baby son, catching up on 6 months since we had last seen each other; for a wonderful Bakoven walk, seeing three heart and one dancer clouds; for my Minsky showing me so much love, being far more housebound than ever before, finally having forgiven me Continue reading →
