Visiting a Zanzibar Spice Farm
This blog post all about visiting a Zanzibar Spice Farm. From the moment you set foot out of the plane in Zanzibar you are warmly welcomed to the island not only from the warm tropical breezes but from the people themselves. “JAMBO! You are welcome to our island. Hakuna Matata” That is the welcome you receive wherever you go. At first I thought the locals were just trying to relate to ‘westerners’, because they knew we really liked Disney’s ‘The Lion King’. However, I soon realised that Hakuna Matata is honestly and truly the way they go about living their lives – a mantra they embody in everything that they do.…

New Aromat #BetterThanSalt?
Growing up as kids, we all ate Aromat. On chips. On Popcorn, on eggs. It’s that yellow spice that makes food taste nice. But as you get older you realise that you have to be more careful about what you eat and Aromat has had to move with the times. With no MSG, GMOs, artificial ingredients, preservatives or colourants and 40% less salt, Aromat Naturally Tasty has relaunched as a healthier seasoning option. Last week I attended the most awesome launch at PnP’s Good Food Studio, for the new Aromat – hosted by Chef Nti. She really MADE the event for me – she is such a motivating person to…

Visiting Lexi’s Healthy Eatery
If there is one thing Lexi Monzeglio – owner and chef at Lexi’s Healthy Eatery knows – its how to make plants taste unbelievably good. My sister and I, plus two very skeptical meat loving boyfriends, headed there on Friday evening after hearing some really awesome reviews and it did not disappoint. Just over two weeks ago, Lexi and her business partner launched Lexi’s Healthy Eatery in Sandton. This spot is striving for the most sustainable, conscious, moral and nutritious way of eating, which Lexi describes as – mostly plants and very little processed foods. As a former graphic designer, Lexi left her desk job over five years ago to…
