Ronda Locatelli @ Atlantis The Palm, DubaiFamily pizza restaurants. They’re all about pizzas loaded with crazy toppings, plentiful portions of spaghetti Bolognese, and that desiccated “parmesan” sprinkle that does not even require refrigeration, right? Maybe where you live, mate, but certainly not at the Atlantis resort on The Palm, Dubai. Giorgio Locatelli is the… |

An Iftar feast at Asateer @ Atlantis The Palm, Dubai“Dubai? During August? You must be crazy” said my friends. “Firstly, the heat will kill you, and secondly it’s Ramadan! Nothing happens during Ramadan – you can’t eat, you can’t drink – what’s the point?”. I have to say – they were spot-on regarding the heat. 40C heat at 80% humidity is like walking through warm syrup, a passage… |

Watermelon, feta, olive & basil salad - and a BBQ event!People often ask me "so what is the difference between an English BBQ and a South African braai?" They both involve the cooking of meat outdoors over an open fire, and yes you can make an argument that the type of meat you cook is the distinguishing feature (because pork sausages and burgers will never feature at a proper South… |

Chocolate peanut butter chip browniesI always wonder how people like emergency medical personnel or bomb disposal experts manage to do their jobs properly. I mean, can you imagine trying to concentrate on the specific and difficult job you were trained to do, while all around you there is chaos, noise, and people calling out and generally distracting you? I wonder how… |

Summer puddingAs soon as I moved to London, I discovered that although the memories I have just listed might resonate with me and with fellow South Africans, the English have a whole other list of things that they associate with summer. Wimbledon, Ascot and the Henley Royal Regatta. People departing en masse for cheap package holidays in Spain… |

My Corfu love affair... and whole seabass on the barbecueWhen I was at school, one of my favourite books that I read over and over was Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals. I remember being fascinated by his stories of childhood, a childhood so completely different to mine as to be unimagineable.

Perfect palmiers with pistounade from ProvenceHyperbole. Litotes. Alliteration. Onomatopeoia. Pun. Oxymoron.Hands up - who knows which of the above literary devices I used in the title to this post?

Kedgeree - comfort in a bowlI am one of those annoying people that hardly ever gets sick. Like my father (who never spent a night in hospital in his life until the fall that broke his hip and ultimately led to his demise), the worst that happens to me is the occasional 24-hour tummy bug, or maybe the sniffles. All around me, people may be coming down with all… |
