SA’s Rosé revolution & where to get your glass

October 10, 2018

South African Rosé, recently dismissed for its quality and semi-sweet bite, is redefining its image in recent years to offer freshness and depth that is comparable to the best in the world. With warmer weather around the corner, there has never been a more fashionable time to pick up a glass of the pink drink. Just in case you need more of a reason, we’ve asked Gareth Robertson of the revelled Anthonij Rupert wines to shed some light on the growth of this summer-time favourite as well as where to get the best glass.

The rise of frozen food

September 20, 2018

Is anything more important than convenience? We live in a world where entire households can be operated from the touch of a smartphone, and travelling to OR Tambo Airport from Sandton needn’t take more than 15 minutes in peak traffic… It’s this fast-paced, time-saving, convenience-driven world that is giving rise to the frozen food phenomenon. Not uncooked frozen veggies or fish, but readymade nutritious homestyle meals.
