A while back I received a call from a journalist with the Business Day. She had heard about my blog through my very able Web Design and Marketing gurus - www.worldwidecreative.co.za. Anyway, we had a great chat about blogging, and the result was this - we got a mention on the front page of the supplement inside the paper, called 'Real Business'! Thought I'd share it with you...
About this blog
Farm girl by birth, city girl by marriage… The only constant in my life has always been good, wholesome food, wine and company! Although I chose a variety of career paths in my life, I studied food and wine for six years before embarking on a detour that finally led me back to the kitchen, where I feel so at home! This blog exists to invite you into my kitchen, with all its fragrances, warmth and laughter! Please come inside…
