“January is full of surprises”, writes Christine Stevens in Harvest Diaries as she describes a morning on her farm when the grapes are starting to ripen, the chickens are not enjoying the heat and there are peaches ready to be eaten off the tree.
Read the full excerpt in which Stevens describes the fruit and vegetables that are harvested in January:
January is full of surprises. In the first year after we bought the farm, we were celebrating New Year’s Eve when a storm blew through this seemingly tranquil place bringing hail that devastated the ripening grapes. A couple of years later a strong north-westerly wind blew over row upon row of grape-laden vines. My vista is superb. Rows of vines are backed by imposing mountains. Bunches of jasper-green grapes hang from the vines.

Andrea Fedder caught up with Justin Bonello to chat about his television show and book, Ultimate Braai Master, for Yuppiechef‘s Spatula Magazine.
They discussed how we are “living on the one continent that still retains so much of its ‘wild’. Potjies, rooster brood and open flame feasts were born from the need to prepare food on the go.” Bonello’s Ultimate Braai Master embraces this concept.
What drives the engine under Justin Bonello’s hood?
We came armed with a list of questions but, upon realising that this vagabond foodie is an unstoppable Vesuvius of passion on everything Africa, we decided to just sit and listen to Justin Bonello’s take on our current food scene. The last time we had a cup of tea and a catch-up with Justin Bonello, he was stuck into the food and travel documentary genre, so his latest venture was simply a matter of time, really.

Anel Potgieter interviewed Reuben Riffel for her blog, Life is a Zoo Biscuit, and found out what his most memorable meal is and who his culinary heroes are.
Riffel, author of Reuben Cooks Local, said that British chef Heston Blumenthal is one of his culinary heroes and that the first time he ate at Blumenthal’s restaurant, The Fat Duck, is his most memorable meal. He also mentioned French chef Joël Robuchon, who he says “is the master of one of the simplest things”.
How do you eat zoo biscuits?
Very quickly and sometimes with a glass of milk. {you make me very happy – anél}
What did you eat last night?
Groenboontjie-bredie.{YUM – anél}
Where did you enjoy your most memorable meal?
The first time I went to the Fat Duck Restaurant. The trip alone was memorable, Maryke and I just got off the plane and had to rush to check-in at our hotel and then leave to get to Bray where the restaurant is. As you don’t want to show up late at a Michelin star restaurant we had to pay a lot of money just to get – and to get there fast. Needless to say it was more than worth it!
