REGULARS
You know that giddy feeling you get when you wake up on your birthday knowing you have everything in the world to be grateful for? Well, that’s how I feel about this month’s edition of GINJA.
Infacet Jewelers and Von Geusau have collaborated to sponsor the most spectacular diamond giveaway in CHOCOLATE! I think I may become a subscriber this month! To add to this glamour, we have picked out some of the most prominent South African chefs and given you a glimpse into what makes them tick. Our pick of “Champagne Chefs”.
While on the topic of champagne, I have to share this with you; this month Pol Roger offered us the opportunity to pair recipes with their gorgeous champagne. The champers arrives and I start experimenting at home, when my husband walks in and almost has a coronary! His face, to see me cooking with some of his favourite champagnes, was priceless! I have to admit it was very much a “one for you, two for me” kind of experiment!
So before I get too carried away and tell you all the juicy bits of what’s to follow, I hope you enjoy this month’s offerings of gorgeous food, spectacular giveaways and unbelievable findings.
Don’t forget to write to me with your stories, recipes or comments at [email protected]. Happy Cooking

BOTTEGA’S ITALIAN
BUBBLIES HOT NEW
FAVOURITE IN SA
04
Three generations of the Bottega family have produced some of Italy’s finest and most
sought-after wines and spirits; their enterprise is situated in the heartland of Prosecco
country at Bibano di Godega, near Venice.
Bottega Prosecco Gold, regarded as the Ferrari of Proseccos, is distributed in a striking gold-plated bottle. The wine is notable for its persistent foam and fine
bubble. Expect aromas of fruit and flowers, scents of Golden Delicious apples, Williams
pears, and lily of the valley flowers.
The popularity of Prosecco, the Italian equivalent of Champagne, is booming around the world. In South Africa, the trend is on the rise too as wine lovers discover the pleasures
of this enduring Italian sparkler.
Bottega products imported by Profumi D’Italia are available at leading retailers nationwide, including the liquor divisions of Pick n Pay, Checkers, Spar, Ultra Liquor Stores, Makro,
Picardi, Blue Bottle and Liquor City. Retail price R379.99.
