Set back on the manicured lawns of the Steenberg Estate, tucked beneath the towering oak trees, is Catharina’s Restaurant, a hidden gem of a lunch spot. You might be in the middle of residential Cape Town, but you feel a million miles away.
Waste not, want not! This is wonderfully creative option to serve your guests as a starter or a side option. You can leave the carrot salad slightly warm for the colder months and save when you buy your carrots with their tops still attached from your local market. And if you have some leftover, you can add them to your salad as leafy greens. They are especially delicious sautéed with olive oil and garlic.
This meat-free meal is packed with plant protein and plenty of nutrients as well! And as if a grain salad for dinner isn’t delicious enough, toast your couscous in a frying pan for a few minutes before cooking for an intense nutty flavour that will carry your couscous tabbouleh to new heights.
We love Cape Malay flavours and we bring them to life in these lovely lamb and apricot sosaties. We have all the classic flavours of coriander, turmeric and cinnamon. And if you can’t get hold of Turkish apricots, simply buy some normal dried apricots and peaches and soak them in warm water for 20 minutes to get that plumped effect.
Use a shaker when you have more mixer than spirit. Thicker ingredients such as syrups and cream liqueurs can also mix inconsistently – so they should be shaken. Shaking with ice is a good way to cool down a drink and dilute it for perfect balance. Our favourite shaken cocktail? Why, the Tom Collins!

Upon reading the title you might think I’m being harsh, but hear me out. Hashtags for eating ‘clean’ have taken social media, the internet and quite frankly, the daily food choices of fitness fanatics and healthy eaters by storm. If a food item isn’t ‘clean’ it’s considered a cheat meal, or worse, banned from the diet for life! This obsession of classifying foods into good vs bad is creating a culture of guilt and trepidation when it comes to eating, which eventually leads to eating disorders and other forms of disordered eating! Food is tasty, interesting, powerful and nourishing. Let’s appreciate it for what it is and not let the 'clean eating' movement take away our happiness!
