Nestled high up in Kloof Street, the restaurant mile of Cape Town, Caffe Milano has received a recent rejuvenating boost. I was invited to meet the new pastry chef Andrea Leechi, owner and executive chef Gorgio Navas' newest addition to the team and hear first hand what the new plans are for the cafe.

I guess if I was infinitely cooler and far more worldly, I'd have been able to resist the aching temptation to make the opening picture one of myself with Senor Adria.

Last night, a group of 51 Twits and their plus ones, braved the Cape Town rain to attend a celebration ofthe return of el Burro's Donkey Chido (read about what could possibly have happened to donkey here and here). Nic, the owner, very generously decided to donate any profits of the night to help2read, a local NPO assisting disadvantaged children in primary schools with literacy.
Join us at el Burro for an evening of delectable Mexican canapes, a frozen La Meurte- Agave de Jalisco Margarita (read: sublime), a chance to mingle with fellow Twits and non Twits and win some fantastic prizes, as we celebrate Donkey's prolific return back home to the loving arms of the house of taco and salsa...and tequila! R20 of every ticket will be donated to help2read.

Lunch at The Test Kitchen I have tried, over the past 4 weeks to cram in as many of the “must visit” Cape Town eateries, both formal and informal, before the year (and my budget) has officially expired. These reviews do not appear in chronological order. Luke Dale Robert’s The Test Kitchen is his independent [...]
Tweet, Taste, Tick On Thursday, 9 December this is exactly what a bunch of twitter and foodie folk were invited to do. I was thrilled to be joining the table, along with some of the more famous foodie twitterati (I won't name names), in an exercise conceived by the owners of Societi Bistro and their [...]
