A Postcard from South Africa

It has been a crazy two weeks, hence the silence here. From Amsterdam to Den Haag and back to London. Then to Capetown in South Africa. Now I am in LA waiting to board the remaining leg of my flight to New Zealand where I will spend a week exploring food and drink there. So, watch this space!

Lots to catch up on so I will be writing at a frenetic pace this week. For now, I will leave you with some highlights from my South Africa trip.

Eating fresh fruit in the orchards

Chef Reuben from Reubens

Cape Dutch Architecture

Picking plums

Nelson Mandela statue outside the last prison he was held in

Margot Janse at Le Quartier Francais

Boerwors on the Braai

Joseph, a wonderful farmer with an inspiring story - more on that soon

About Niamh

I like food. I like to make food. Eat food. Photograph food. Write about food. Mainly in London but when I am lucky or organised further afield.
