Keeping Up With De Grendel
Earlier this year, I had the privilege of visiting De Grendel’s cellar and sharing a glass of wine with its Cellar Master, Charles Hopkins, who describes himself as a lifelong student of wine.

From Brioche to Binoche
For two captivating hours, I was transported into the realm of classic French cuisine, revelling in the meticulous preparation depicted on screen.

This is the perfect dessert if you want something memorable and sweet for the Easter table but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
Raspberry Trifle
Ouma’s Swiss roll was legend. I would always hide one out of sight, either by slipping it into her handbag or taking one back to the car.
