Over the past few years. I’ve loved getting to know Joburg’s inner city, an area that was “off-limits” to me for so long. However, I have to admit that I did this on my terms- on a touristy inner city bus or in food markets bustling with visitors, as opposed to residents, and within somewhat […]
I had such a great time last night at Madame Zingara at Montecasino. I’ve been a fan of them since they launched. If you don’t know about Madame Zingara yet or haven’t yet been to a show, you NEED to go. Basically it’s a dinner and show concept, but it also transports you into another […]
So sorry I’ve been quiet, I’m more than a little overwhelmed with all that’s been going on, with studying for CFA, rounding up at work plus prepping to move, in between planning trips to the USA and Europe! I promise to get some new posts up soon (it’s all in my MIND… I just need […]
To me, the words “cooking” and “fun” have always been mutually exclusive. Words that come to mind when I think of “cooking” are “disaster”, “waste of time” and “washing up.” However, I find that I can only eat out 3-4 times a week before I start running out of options and would rather have something […]
The Winter Sculpture Fair was one of my favourite events in Jozi last year, and I’m so excited that it will be happening once more this year. Imagine food and wine produced by 28 of Franschhoek’s most popular restaurants, producers and wineries, all in a beautiful setting, just an hour from Jozi. We spent the entire […]
This past Saturday, I hosted the third Jozilicious Mixer. I have to say, that I think this was the best one yet. Having been to tons of events myself, I know what I like to get out of an event, so I try to create this experience for my readers, as well as make them […]
**update** (later on Monday 13 Jan), this event is now sold out with a pretty lengthy waiting list. Sorry to those of you who wanted to come but missed out…. Happy Monday! I am currently trying to maximize time with my friends before I start studying for CFA next month, so I had a […]
Given that I already spend roughly 2 hours a day on the road driving to and from work, I try and minimize driving on the weekends. Something has to be pretty awesome to lure me all the way to Pretoria. When I got an invite to visit Hazel Food Market in Menlyn, I almost dismissed […]
I was a little slow on the uptake with SecretEATS. I heard about it pretty early, but couldn’t make any of the dinners for about 3 months because of the craziness that my life was. SecretEATS is a pop up dining experience which is very cleverly marketed. It’s invite only (but anyone can request […]
When I first heard of Diner en Blanc, I dismissed it, categorising it in the same group as the numerous “colour festivals” which have happened this year. It seems as if dressing in white has been the new prescription for everything from marathons to house music parties. Then I stumbled across a picture of […]
I’ve blogged about the Hilton’s sushi class before (OMG- looking at those pictures makes me cringe, don’t know how I blogged without an SLR camera before!) Sushi school is a really classy and fun way to spend an evening. Basically, you arrive at the Hilton’s swanky Tepanyaki bar with around 10 other people, while a sushi master teaches you how to make everything from maki to […]

Calling all fashion lovers! Skip got into touch with me to let me know about a really fab event that’s happening soon- the Skip Fashion Exchange. I love an excuse to go out with my girlfriends, and I think this is a great way to do something different. Basically, the idea is that you bring […]
