If you follow me on Twitter @ladyvera06, you’ll know that I have a love/hate relationship with this breakfast. I love eating it but I hate making it. English muffins. They’re so hard to find in my area but they are the foundation if this perfect breakfast. The salmon. So expensive. Only after payday can I…

Another anniversary
My plan was to take today off and just relax. It’s a Sunday, my sports teams knew yesterday and my throat hurts so I think I’m getting sick. But then Google reminded me that I have an anniversary today and I knew that I had to post something. Having this blog has provided me with…
The #Gin revolution in #SouthAfrica
The coolest thing in town these days is GIN! Look left and right and all you see is gin. As a self-proclaimed wine snob, I tend to check out whatever else is out there and it’s really hard to ignore the Gin-revolution that is currently going on out there. Now Gin is not exactly the…
Trends in wine and food tourism
A good read into a 2019 forecast! Thanks to Bizcommunity The swinging doors to kitchen culture was first held open by celebrity chefs like Julia Child and Jamie Oliver. For the tourism industry it was the travel documentary style of Rick Stein and Anthony Bourdain that beamed travel to exotic locations, and Cornwall, into our…
Slurp, slurp slurp! #Oysters anyone?
On the N2 between Sedgefield and Wilderness is “Oysters R Us”. While on holiday in Knysna this past week, I looked for the most unique things to do. I came across this giant sign “Oysters R Us” and being a liker of things and a lover of seafood, had to enter this place. A quick…
#Eatingclean 101, part 1
Part of the reason why we choose fast food is because of the cost. We can spend minutes in a grocery store looking at the normal bread and banking bread amd although we want to treat our bodies as temples, we tend to think more with our pockets. I am no stranger to that, believe…
My week in the hospital
While clearing up some space on my phone, I came across all these photos of the food I ate while in the hospital. Before you worry about me, I was sick or in an accident, I recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl. So the food sometimes shocked me with how good it was,…
Rum Tum Tum: #JoburgCraftRumFestival
I saw a little competition that I knew I should enter. Yes, it is unlikely that a wine snob would be entering an event that is not wine related but 2018 was named the year for exploring. Exploring new tastes includes all that South Africa has to offer which until 2018, I never knew was…
Something fishy: Fishermans Deli
Just before the Easter weekend, I spent the entire week in Cape Town working and attending a friend’s wedding. Every night we went out to eat and steak or lamb chops was my choice of protein. I got over the whole meat thing when I returned home and started planning how I was going to…
The Hot Skillet, The Cape’s hidden Gem
A Lady Vera year is never complete without popping into the Mother City. Usually, my trip consists of spending my days on wine farms tasting some of the best vino this country has to offer but this time, it went a little different. Two years ago, my friends from the UK sent us an invite…
