I feel like taking another drive to The Midlands just so we can stop at The Windmills Kitchen for another absolutely delicious lunch! What is The Windmills Kitchen? The Windmills Kitchen can be described as a collaborative food hall serving up delicious artisan food. It is the perfect stop off for the hungry traveller travelling…
My middle name shall now be “Lindt” because if you open up the second drawer in my kitchen you will see a stash of Lindt chocolate that even the Lindt factory doesn’t produce in a day. Yes, I am a chocoholic and Lindt is my favourite so when the delivery man knocks on my door…
Sunday lunch is a special occasion for us – we like to go somewhere nice for something wholesome that will leave us feeling happy and satisfied.

I am in no way a health freak but since June last year, after receiving a little health scare from my doctor, I have implemented a few lifestyle changes that have made a noticeable difference. Not only do I feel better, and suffer from less headaches but I also feel more energetic. An added bonus…
The first time I had a Neapolitan pizza was in Italy (obviously). What I noticed about this style of pizza is how different it is to what we are used to. What are we used to though? We’re used to complicated pizza with so many toppings that the actual pizza is hidden! We are also…
I am very lucky to be able to say I have explored a lot of our beautiful country South Africa. Even though I have explored a lot, there is still so much I haven’t seen. I have visited little towns and game reserves and I have stayed at different hotels along the way. But this…
