Chef Luke Dale Roberts' The Pot Luck Club has foun Chef Luke Dale Roberts' The Pot Luck Club has found a new home at The Peech Hotel in Melrose, Johannesburg. What a privilege to have been one of the firsts to experience its new space - an incredibly welcoming restaurant with stunning interiors, complete with origami ceiling detail and trendy, inviting outdoor seating. Of course, the menu - which is an amalgamation of shareable plates - is filled with delightful flavours true to The Pot Luck Club's original style. In fact, they've brought over a couple of the classics, while also adding some new favourites to the offering. What a wonderful day of tasting and mingling! Thanks for having me, @thepotluckclubjohannesburg , @cheflukedaleroberts and @thepeechhotel !

From heart-shaped chocolate boxes in @lindtsa stor From heart-shaped chocolate boxes in @lindtsa stores to @legocertifiedstoressa Valentine’s-inspired florals at @_themallofafrica , Cupid has spread love everywhere this month and it’s hard not to be swept along. Of course, being a hopeless romantic myself, I tend to look for the meaning of love in places other than retail spaces. In fact, I rather enjoy going back to basics, finding inspiration for the perfect Valentine’s Day in something as simple, yet incredibly complex as terroir. Like the ground in which the vines grow, love can be just as simple, yet complex. Hence, I’ve come up with a couple of Valentine’s Day wines, perfect to pair love with. Find them all on my blog: www.suitcaseandchardonnay.co.za @dekranswines @nuywinery @fairviewwineandcheese @dalucaprosecco #romanticsips #winesforvalentines #loveandwine #valentineswine #sipthelove #winefortwo #pourthelove #coupleswhowine

When it’s prepared with the right amount of passion, it’s about celebrating life, love and the Mediterranean spirit. Something you can expect to experience at @prosoparestaurant – a Greek restaurant in the heart of Pretoria.
