D7 at On Broadway
Normally when you invite people to an a capella show they tell you they can’t make it because they have to bath their goldfish or attend the opening of their garage door. I invited a bunch of people to hear D7 perform at On Broadway last night and I was sufficiently vague about who was [...]

Look & Feel Good Expo ticket giveaway
One of the things I like about Capetonians is that they are quite active and enjoy the outdoors, whether that be spending a day at the beach, trail running, hiking, mountain biking, etc. However, Winter does reduce the options quite considerably and we sometimes find that come the end of winter we’re not quite in [...]

Fyndraai restaurant review
There are thousands of South African wine labels out there. It is very difficult for an estate to distinguish itself from all the competition in any meaningful way. Each estate obviously has its own story and quirks, but they all have that. Solms Delta is one of the few that differentiates itself very well, offering [...]

One80 Fitness Training
People have been asking me what this One80 training is that I have been doing, so I thought I would share the story. I used to be a fairly active guy, playing various sports and complementing that with regular gym sessions. Most of the time I was in pretty good shape. People used to say [...]

Tapped review
I can’t remember exactly when I became aware of the problem of bottled water. I do have a post on Relax with Dax (The Scourge of Bottled Water) which was written in April 2006, so probably sometime before then. I personally try not to drink bottled water unless there is no alternative, but many people [...]

Robertson Slow Festival review
A few years ago I used to really enjoy the Wacky Wine Weekend in Robertson, in fact you can read one of my rave reviews here. However, it started to become very crowded and the last couple of years I have given it a skip as it’s too crowded for me. I do like Robertson [...]

Karoux review
On our first evening at the Robertson Slow Festival, we were booked into Karoux. It’s on the main road in McGregor and we were staying in McGregor so it was a local option. I don’t really know much about McGregor, except that it’s a really small town. My experiences of restaurants in small towns have [...]

Cape Winemakers Guild tasting review
If there is one thing we have enough of in Cape Town, that’s wine festivals. Each month of the year there is some sort of wine or food and wine festival happening. Not that I am complaining, I enjoy a wine festival as much as the next drinker. But having said that, some wine festivals [...]

The Yes Men Fix The World documentary review
I loved this documentary. I had heard about the Yes Men, but it was great to actually see them in action and learn about the various stunts they pulled. Imagine this, the Yes Men pose as a Dow Chemical spokesperson and inform 300m people on BBC news that Dow has decided to clean up the [...]

Sinns review
Sinns at Wembley Square has been around for quite some time. I’ve had drinks at the bar next door and I’ve had snacks there a few times and tried their Spring special last year. I quite like that closed open space in Wembley Square, it has the potential to have an awesome vibe. If the [...]

So for those of you who have been waiting for the recipe I submitted to the Fairview competition, here it is. The voting has been open for a while now but I thought I would give the others a sporting chance before unleashing my readers in a voting frenzy (I’m too kind, I know). So, [...]
