<li>Add the sugar in batches slowly while continuously whisking</li>
<li>Whisk in all the sugar until the meringues are shiny and glossy with soft peaks</li>
<li>Sprinkle over the vanilla extract, vinegar and the cornflour and fold them into the meringue</li>
<li>With a spoon transfer the meringue onto the baking paper, be sure to make the edges higher than the centre (this will allow it to hold the fruit topping)</li>

<li>To make the mango sauce by placing cubed mango, lemon juice, sugar and water in a blender and blend till smooth. </li>

This is my favourite salad to eat all the time not just in Summer and it is super quick to make, especially when the boyfie is doing the making. He says that this is a "whatever he has in his pantry" salad, I have to say it's a well stocked pantry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglhp9wMV-CV2bZdDK21wnFDtuBvSA48ySw8nKM_AiCPhkFgUauDNvpZofqaZnL6OjuXB6pI4gKbZr1JuMif2HwUWmI_CAJqwXGwdLpOgIktFYTwm696lD8S8bUwIyF_dAnyPatbIbE2lRN/s1600/IMG_6044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglhp9wMV-CV2bZdDK21wnFDtuBvSA48ySw8nKM_AiCPhkFgUauDNvpZofqaZnL6OjuXB6pI4gKbZr1JuMif2HwUWmI_CAJqwXGwdLpOgIktFYTwm696lD8S8bUwIyF_dAnyPatbIbE2lRN/s1600/IMG_6044.JPG" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>For the salad</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>3 Carrots finely grated</li>
<li>Chargrilled Artichokes chopped (The Woolworths ones)</li>
<li>Small handful Parsley chopped</li>
<li>Half a palm full of Raisins</li>
<li>Half a palm full of Sultanas</li>
<li>Small handful Sesame seeds</li>
<li>Bed of greens (your preferred combination)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>For the dressing</b></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Juice of half an orange or a full lime</li>
<li>few drops of sesame oil</li>
<li>Olive oil</li>
<li>Salt & pepper to season</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Method:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>In a bowl combine the finely grated carrots (that's French style according to boyfie), chopped chargrilled artichokes parsley, raisins and sultanas. </li>
<li>Now squeeze the orange or lime over the salad, add the sesame oil and olive oil </li>
<li>Toss and season. </li>
<li>In the meantime heat a pan on medium heat and toast the sesame seeds</li>
<li>Place the salad on top of the bed of greens and sprinkle the sesame seeds over.</li>
</ul>
<div>
This is also a great substitute for the traditional coleslaw served at a braai. Just keeping it healthy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happy Eating In!</div>

Just in time for the holidays, I have a few tipple tips for you!<br />
<br />
If you're looking for a quiet, unassuming spot for a tipple try The Leopard on a Saturday afternoon. It's in Melville off the busy 7th Street, a quaint hideaway perfect to have a tipple that has Gin, lemon, Basil and Rosemary with a touch of Absinthe. Although it is served small, what it lacks in size it makes up in content.<br />

I have to say that The Wolfpack makes a mean burger, big bad wolf mean. Having only a few moments in my day to grab lunch and a monster craving for a burger I decided to try The Wolfpack. I called and ordered from my car and told them "Give me your signature burger, grilled to perfection!". I reached The Wolfpack, immediately seated and had the big bad wolf placed in front of me, Oh yeah!<br />

The burger patty was super juicy and tasty, like good quality beef topped with a slice of cheese, garlic aioli, crispy wasabi onion rings, jalapenos, pineapple and pancetta. Everything but the kitchen sink and it's super tasty! You would think that it has too much going on but it turned out to be just enough. The patty to bun ratio is perfect every bite had a piece of patty, that as I have found out is no small thing. I would definitely go back for that bun and those damn good almost curly french fries!</div>

My food memories are filled with simple items being turned into something special. To date one of my favourite quick easy meals is a smoor, tomato based curry flavoured sauce. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">In collaboration with Lucky Star (visit their FB page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LuckyStarSA" target="_blank">here</a>), I get to stretch my recipe chops and show you that there's more to a can of Lucky Star Pilchards than putting them on a piece of toast. </span></b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Tip 1: I usually add some sugar to all tomato base dishes to balance the acidity. In this case I don't because the tomato sauce is quite sweet so adding sugar is not necessary.</span></div>

I love the Chelsea Market for the under roof close to Meatpacking district Smorgasbord it is. Since my last visit a candy store has popped up it's called <a href="http://www.liddabitsweets.com/about/" target="_blank">Liddabit Sweets </a>and it's AMAZE!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkJr1JRxPHv4NSHpQOcdFey_vuX2tPJLVdxKR6-XCB7ieJJMrxF55XAszafyVV63-Q9_4rDakjczKde_LVVTbQlTdXSEN0HIO7WOTc-VGJp6ksTiu7Mz42GFXRq1us8MQS_9H0enbY3JUr/s1600/IMG_1293.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkJr1JRxPHv4NSHpQOcdFey_vuX2tPJLVdxKR6-XCB7ieJJMrxF55XAszafyVV63-Q9_4rDakjczKde_LVVTbQlTdXSEN0HIO7WOTc-VGJp6ksTiu7Mz42GFXRq1us8MQS_9H0enbY3JUr/s1600/IMG_1293.JPG" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
I first heard of Liddabit from <a href="http://ohjoy.blogs.com/my_weblog/2011/02/currently-snacking-on-5.html" target="_blank">OhJoy!</a> so I was absolutely ecstatic when I saw the store. I went into a happiness frenzy and bought a ton of Bacon Caramel Corn, yes like bacon diddle daddle if it existed only better. Thithi (of <a href="http://www.teeteeiswithme.com/" target="_blank">teeteeiswithme</a>) was there to capture my moment of blissful madness.<br />
<br />
I walked out of the store with a candy bar in each flavour, boxes of caramel corn and bacon caramel corn, a box of chocolate dipped sea salt caramel and a box of pretzel beer caramels. Wait there's more, I bought the cookbook and a free twix inspired candy bar, which they don't sell but give to customers who drop a guap!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Good People at NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto delivered a wonderful package to myself and ten other bloggers, lucky us! The package included a Circolo coffee machine and pods. While we get comfortable with the coffee machines and the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto flavours, you stand a chance to win one of eleven Genio coffee machines. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Circolo is easy and quite intuitive to use and there's a NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto flavour for everyone because Coffee is not just <b>Black!</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Watch me at work with the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Circolo!</div>

As you all know I have been doing an Events Management course through UCT Get Smarter, I have completed weeks 1 through 7 (see posts <a href="http://jozifoodiefix.blogspot.com/search?q=get+smarter" target="_blank">here</a>). I can't believe the weeks have flown by so quickly, only 3 left go before certificate time!<br />
<br />
I have to say that weeks 5 and 6 have been the toughest weeks so far from a prioritising perspective. The content has so far been most relevant and relatable to my role in THE WKND SOCIAL module 5 Event operations and logistics and module 6 Event design and decor.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU27sug0BW-UJWxR4FsmrqX-_LAxXRUGwrJU_wKMStO4Xrzhqo3fSoYJPy7_BqcgNE5kENFhBPa7xSTKmF_1jAn6vAYCbS4fEjnfs9ISxw78ydaZpgD2jZ1jAr5Qgusgn8avuAWbeS7dDj/s1600/GetSmarter+wk+7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU27sug0BW-UJWxR4FsmrqX-_LAxXRUGwrJU_wKMStO4Xrzhqo3fSoYJPy7_BqcgNE5kENFhBPa7xSTKmF_1jAn6vAYCbS4fEjnfs9ISxw78ydaZpgD2jZ1jAr5Qgusgn8avuAWbeS7dDj/s1600/GetSmarter+wk+7.png" /></a></div>
<br />
I was in New York for week 5, working while there (with a six hour time difference), packing up our NY apartment and trying to have a bit of vacation time. Once again the convenience of the online course made it simple to get my course work and submit my assignments for the two weeks I was in New York.<br />
<br />
I had to however ask for an extension, which of course you have to motivate for, but the team at Get Smarter do understand the exceptional circumstances and pressures placed on career driven individuals like myself who are slashers (Zomato SA AVP / Blogger / Food writer). While I made every effort to schedule appropriately I did need a couple of extra hours in the week I got back from New York to submit my assignment 6.<br />
<br />
Now that I'm back into the swing of things, you can find me at my desk dedicating an hour a day to Events Management. Next to the convenience, is the Get Smarter's team approach to online adult education and the understanding that sometimes no matter how much planning we do LIFE gets in the way.<br />

For those who don't know anything about the show: <b>60 days, 8000 kilometres and only 15 spots around the fire.</b><br />
<br />
For the next 60 days, teams will compete against each other in a gruelling braai-inspired road trip that will see them travelling the length and breadth of South Africa, from the banks of the Kosi Estuary, through Mpumalanga, Lesotho, Free State, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and ends in the winelands of Cape Town.<br />

Of course after the craze and my craving (see <a href="http://jozifoodiefix.blogspot.com/2013/06/todays-craving-i-want-cronut.html" target="_blank">here</a>), I couldn't be in New York and stop in at Dominique's for the real deal, he patented the name CRONUT and for a quick pose of course!<br />

After a full week and a half in New York, promising to be in SoHo (South of Houston said HOUSE TON) by 6 am, finally Thithi (of <a href="http://www.teeteeiswithme.com/" target="_blank">teeteeiswithme</a>) and I made it to SoHo. An hour and a half waiting on line, we finally made it to the counter to order. I ordered my allocated two per customer cronuts along with ten made to order madeleines and the magic souffle. Welcome to pastry heaven and sugar rush central, oh yeah we ordered coffee to go with it all too.<br />

This month (September 2013) is the Fig Mascarpone Cronut month. The Cronut is layers of laminated dough (almost flaky croissant like pastry) proofed, shaped, fried and rolled in sugar like a donut with a sublime filling. I'm am using the word sublime objectively. The fig mascarpone filling is a texture combination of a cream, meets a creme anglaise that holds ever so well in the cronut.<br />

<br />
The September mascarpone with a fig preserve swirl filling, is light, creamy & perfectly sweet. At first bite you get the slightly crisp exterior, a glazed sugary lip then the layers of flaky pastry and finally a creamy balanced not overly sweet mascarpone cream and a fig preserve kick. It's truly to adults what a finger in a jam donut is to kids.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;">I just
received a surprise package in the mail, well honestly it wouldn't fit in the
actual mail it's that big. I arrived home a couple of nights ago (just before I was off to New York) to a big black
box with a gold ribbon and a label NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto waiting for me on my kitchen counter. It turns
out that NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is launching 11 flavours and have
decided to give bloggers the full perfect cup experience. Lucky me I seem to
have made the blogger cut, I mean the package is in my house yo.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

a perfect cup every time, each drink variety can be prepared in less than one
minute. Yes 60 seconds!</span></div>

Situated at the Olivedale Corner Shopping Centre, serving scrumptious contemporary Italian the food at Café Del Sol is “a reflection of a new age Italian family” and I can attest that the love can be seen, smelt, tasted and felt in every plate.<br />
<br />
To judge by the amount of glowing feedback from my family and friends, who joined me for a Sunday lunch; it seems that Café de Sol can do no wrong. The compliments come thick and fast (‘incredible food', ‘perfect service') and it's clear this is a restaurant at the top of its game, with a strikingly beautiful, modern dining area with white walls decorated with the most superb quotes about life, love and food.<br />
The diverse menu delivers cracking flavours and as it declares, “seasonally fresh ingredients with swirls of love and just with a pinch of true Italian laughter” are served with a smile and executed perfectly.<br />
Highlights include stunning starters, gorgeous mains and dishes of flawless technique and deep flavours accompanied and delivered with excellent service.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
It is not your average Italian place with dishes like Beetroot Carpaccio – thinly sliced beetroot with Dolce Latte gorgonzola, strawberries and orange segments and spouts all drizzled with a balsamic reduction or the Calamari Limoncello with a wow inducing secret Limoncello sauce served with a Grana Padano parmesan salad.<br />
<br />
Pastas are especially good. They have bite and a comforting, starchy, slipperiness, which makes the sauce cling to them, like baby koalas to their mothers. They do numerous raviolis. The ravioli of the day is inspired and I absolutely loved the baby spinach and ricotta ravioli with a creamy parmesan and truffle sauce.<br />

The risottos are also incredible, so good in fact, we ordered two – The Seafood Risotto with Prawns, Falklands calamari, smoked salmon, red pepper, mushroom & baby tomatoes sautéed with garlic & onion in white wine & finished off with a dash of fresh cream & parsley is delightful.<br />
For all the mushroom lovers! Earthy Porcini mushrooms risotto, with green peas & a drizzle of truffle oil is a decadent treat!<br />
<br />

<br />
The star dish of the day for me was the Porcini roasted chicken – Two tantalizing roasted free-range chicken breasts with a crispy skin, which was moist, served on a bed of tasty Porcini mushrooms, green peas & a delicate truffle oil risotto, with a Porcini mushroom cream sauce. The dish was cooked to perfection, well balanced and had my taste buds doing cartwheels.<br />
<br />

<br />
The food was amazing the service sublime and the drinks list is peppered with appetizing Italian names. Ask for Alessandro Khojane whose infectious personality and good humored jokes added to our dining experience – he and Café Del Sol are definitely setting the benchmark for Italian cuisine in Gauteng!<br />
<br />
Grazie!<br />

I'm writing from New York, where I have just submitted assignment 4. This is the beauty of this online course, you get UCT <a href="http://www.getsmarter.co.za/" target="_blank">Get Smarter</a> on the go wherever you are as long as you have an internet connection. Between travelling from SA, catching a music festival in Philadelphia and heading back to New York I had assignment 4 due.<br />
<br />
I have received my marks for assignments 1 and 2, I have to say that I am quite happy with the results. Slightly below class average because of the 10% penalty due to handing in late but I'm averaging as a B student. Practically, that means that I understand the concepts and can absorb a 10% knock. Yes I'm out here putting my marks on blast.<br />

<br />
Module 3 covered Bidding and securing an event and Module 4 covered Event organisation and project management. I have to say that Module 4 has been the one that is most relevant to me at this moment and in relation to The WKND SOCIAL. It's great to see theory covering our (The Other Girls I mean) practical processes.<br />
<br />
Module 4 includes; steps taken to plan and coordinate an event, Planning and coordinating tools and key factors to effective planning.<br />
<br />
The gold nugget I would like to share from Module 4 <b>"A realistic, achievable, firm schedule of activities aligned to a critical path. Clearly defined decision-making lines of communication and authority. A well-motivated and cooperative team."</b><br />

As I sit and take a breath after the week I've had I am pleased to announce that I made it through week 2 of the Events Management Course. Although I have to note that I submitted my assignment late on the Tuesday so there was a 10% penalty.<br />
<br />
This week in particular I appreciated the convenience of the online course, I could fit reading time and "class time" into my schedule which was usually after 10 pm. No rest for the wicked yo! I'm travelling next week, so I'm really going to be putting my focus to the test. I'm glad that as long as I have Wifi I can still actively participate.<br />
<br />
In week 2 we covered the Event role players; this includes sponsors, buyers (buyers of the event management service), suppliers and intermediaries. I found the number of roles players interesting and the subtle differences between roles players within the same category.<br />
<br />

Touched base with Donovan at Stanley Beer Yard, for a beer (yes you guessed it) and a chat. This is his take on Stanley Beer Hall.<br />
<br />
"A warm, cosy joint with delicious, ice cold craft beer and an abundance of young hipsters in undersized jeans and vintage glasses. This is their Meccah"<br />

It must be nice having a beer with your name on it!<br />
