FLAVOUR MAKERS

NUTS ABOUT ALMONDS • Aren’t you glad you live in a world that has almonds? Woolworths stocks a fantastic variety, which can be enjoyed as a snack, or worked into delicious recipes, as we’ve done on the opposite page. Gluten-free almond-and-chocolate cake, anyone?

How to make your own almond milk:

TREND: NUTS • EAT THIS, DRINK THAT, BUY THESE. RIGHT NOW.

On our radar • From our favourite form of vegan protein (spoiler – it’s nuts) to vegan mayo, we’ve got Veganuary covered. Also important: hot new restaurants and markets to visit right this minute

Go nuts • These nuts (one of which is actually a tuber, masquerading as a nut) have been grown in Africa for centuries but, thanks to several small businesses, are now more widely available. Expand your cooking repertoire with these indigenous African ingredients

NEW! • The summer season has seen a slew of exciting openings in the restaurant and market space

Preserved lemons • Ottolenghi might use them by the jarful, but we’re guessing you are a little unsure. Which is where we come in. When life gives you preserved lemons, here’s what you do…

Things I love • You might know this chef, artist and cookbook author from her time running Li-Bel in Pretoria and Albizia in Cullinan. Now Lientjie Wessels offers four-course Sunday lunches in the garden of her historic home in Cullinan. She shared some of her favourite things

Prized rice • Since opening in 2018, Lexi’s Healthy Eatery has grown into a mini plant-based empire, with four branches in Gauteng, and a brand-new one in Sea Point, Cape Town

Love bites • You can never have too much chocolate or bubbles in your life we say, especially not when Valentine’s Day rolls around. These are the gifts we (secretly) hope we will receive this year

The skinny pinny • Now this is how you drink a piña colada, says TASTE’s cocktail oracle, Jeanne Calitz

Puttin’ on the spritz! • Resolved to go easy on the booze in 2021? Jeanne Calitz suggests reviving a low-alcohol classic that’ll see you through summer

Light fantastic • A dry(ish) January is not only a good way to kick-start your 2021 resolutions, it’s also great for your wallet. Don’t be a hero, just take a lighter approach to summer drinking

LIGHT YEARS

The Taste case • Allan Mullins’ selection of six great-value wines will set you back just R530 and it includes a box (yes, we said box) of quality Chenin Blanc from the award-winning Kleine Zalze estate in Stellies

Mother sauce • Chakalaka...
