Kickstart A Bicycle Project
Posted on 04. Jun, 2010 by iheidi in Food, Travel, books, media
Oh, the independence, and freedom, of a bicycle! It’s certainly one of the ways to get around in this country. And the guy who brought us the delicious African Salad (a collection of South African recipes, and so much more than that) is working on a new book about bicycles. Probably the last cyclist I [...]
Conspiracy Theory #46664
Posted on 09. Apr, 2010 by iheidi in Food, Politics
As I flipped through our (four) TV channels last night, trying to find a distraction from the latest of TV tantrums, I found Tannie Evita in action: promoting her new South African recipe book Kossie Sikelela. She mentioned the importance of courageous cooking, bringing enemies together, to face one another, and to share a meal [...]

Martha Stewart at Design Indaba 2010
Posted on 09. Mar, 2010 by iheidi in Business, Design, Food
Let them eat cake. She might as well have said it. (Or it might have been, Let them eat pork, with glitter?) Poor Martha. She was savaged, by an audience that walked out en masse. How could she have gotten it so wrong? How did she manage to alienate her audience so thoroughly? Was it [...]

Christien is interested in tracing the origins of the things around us. She spoke of her projects related to three raw materials: wool, flax, and pig (yes, pig.) As part of her wool project, she journeyed to Idaho, to spend time with a flock of organic sheep. She created a series of cardigans and jerseys [...]
Buenos Aires: Bonito
Posted on 04. Mar, 2010 by iheidi in Food, Travel
It’s always an adventure when you book holiday accommodation online, isn’t it? You never quite know what you’re going to get… Sometimes, it is pure delight. (About the rest, I don’t bother to write). Bonito is a mother-daughter project, an apartment that’s been converted into a design hotel with 5 unique rooms. I booked us [...]
Ferran Adria at Design Indaba 2009
Posted on 09. Feb, 2010 by in Design, Food
Introduced as a Salvador Dali of the kitchen (though as an aside I read in an interview that the person he would most like to meet is Picasso!)…this man has been crowned the best chef in the world by press and peers alike. He simply called himself a cook. Haute cuisine he described as a [...]
Jazz at Simon's at Groot Constantia
Posted on 01. Jun, 2009 by Peter Orsmond in Blog
Rain, rain and more rain. Oh and did I add a little of fuck’s sake rain. This is truly a cold front of note and has been really cold and miserable the last few days in Cape Town. I think I saw a squirrel with a nipple rise the other day, it was so cold. [...]
My official and unofficial review of the 27Dinner
Posted on 28. May, 2009 by Moral Fibre Press Office in Blog, featured
Whilst everyone is at the Seacom launch I thought I might take this opportunity to pen my thoughts on the 27 dinner which was held last night at Glaceau Vitamin Water’s 44 Stanley Avenue pop up store. 44 Stanley is a popular Moral Fibre hotspot, we love the breakfasts at Salvation cafe and I’ve personally [...]
