Snoek pâté reloaded • There’s no shortage of inventive, delicious, locally flavoured dishes on the menu of Cape Town restaurant Belly of the Beast. But if there’s one dish that people can’t stop talking about, it’s the smoked snoek dip with light-as-air sweet potato crisps. Here’s why

Dr Tracy Nelwamondo • Working as a doctor is just one of the ways this inspiring woman aims to improve people’s health. She also runs two businesses – Modern Traditions, supplying indigenous ingredients, and Malie’s Ice Cream, a plant-based brand – both of which she considers extensions of her day job

HERMANUS

The Taste case • Wikus Human is responsible for recommending wines to pair with the flame-cooked food at David Higgs’s Marble restaurant. We couldn’t think of anyone better to curate this month’s TASTE case to pick your six ultimate braai wines
