57. Pierre Winshaw - Winshaw Eatery

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/07/04

Winshaw is a name with deep roots and a fabulous story in the growth and development of the wine industry in Stellenbosch. It is also the site of the best steak and chips I've eaten in absolute ages. On the Baden Powell Road edge of Stellenbosch, Winshaw Eatery is the 'tasting' room for the Winshaw brothers' wine and pasture-reared beef farm. You can even collect a tray of eggs from their pastured egg-mobiles while you're there. Pierre Winshaw joined me for a chat about legacy, regenerative a...

56. Holly Rey - Baking with the Reys

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/06/27

Where do I even begin with this one? Holly Rey is a complete legend. (She's my niece.) I would say 'rockstar' to coin another worn phrase, but rock is not her genre and my niece is so much more than a recording artist and entertainer. As the first woman in 20 years to win a SAMA Best Song Award for the smash hit 'Deeper' (Brenda Fassie won for 'Vulindlela' in 1999), and the winner of the first South African season of 'Masked Singer' there's no question she's talented. It also seems that...

55. Di Bibby - Bibby's Kitchen

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/06/24

I've been following Di Bibby on Insta since some time in 2017. Her 'Cake Friday' segment is a particular favourite, and I would sometimes dip into her blog 'Bibby's Kitchen' for inspiration when I was still shooting food. On a recent trip to the 'Mother City' to launch her latest book, Di very kindly agreed to sit down and record an episode for A Table in the Corner with me. Behind the simplicity, practicality and adventurousness of her cooking, I found a wonderfully grounded personality who ...

54. Adam Mason - Raised by Wolves, Yardstick Wines

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/06/21

For Adam Mason, making wine is an expression of life. The experiences and moments that combine to define a life are equally central to creating or 'raising' a great wine. He should know. From the vineyards of the Loire Valley by way of Klein Constantia, to his own brands - Raised by Wolves and Yardstick - Adam’s wines are the journal of a fascinating journey. This chat was so illuminating, and such a pleasure.Raised by Wolves On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner Cover image sketched by Courtney...

53. Dave & Ishara Chetty - Doughed, Durban

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/06/14

Meet the Durban couple who opened the city's first Napoli-style pizza place. Doughed Wood-fired Dining on the Florida Road strip offers wnderful 72-hour fermented sourdough pizza bases with a variety of both traditional and whimsical local toppings. I chatted to them about their obsession with Italy and it's rustic food traditions, discovering their reputation for making insane canoli along the way. A massive and seemingly endless curiosity about food and its origins, fuels their ...

52. Theo Chiloane - 9th Avenue Waterside, Durban

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/06/12

Set in Durban's Yacht Mole, surrounded masts that dance on the tides, 9th Avenue Waterside occupies an iconic location in the east coast city. It has a long heritage in fine dining to live up to, and by all accounts it is doing so with Chef Theo Chiloane at the helm. Technical precision and immaculate presentation are the hallmarks of this internationally experience chef, who manages to bring a healthy sprinkling of local flavour and a sense of adventure to the offering at this buzzing venue....

51. Ndumiso Mncwabe - Authentiq, Durban

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/06/11

Ndu Mncwabe is a legend. He is the much-loved proprietor of Authentiq in Durban's Florida Road, and was a contestant way back on Season 3 of Masterchef SA. We chatted about operating venues in Durban, bringing African flavours and inspiration to local menus and a bunch of other stuff. He's a natural host and very easy to engage with on his favourite topic - the hospitality game.

50. Amy Gardiner - Humble Coffee, Durban

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/06/06

Amy Gardiner is a peach! Her brand, Humble Coffee, is a touchstone for quality and inclusivity in its Durban home, much loved both by her wholesale and coffee shop customers. A social entrepreneur at heart, Amy also has an instinctive understanding of building strong brands. She has worked hard on her roasting and trading skills, while creating a wonderful team to drive the Humble Coffee promise and engagement. I thoroughly enjoyed my chat with her on a recent visit to Durban. Humble Coffee ...

49. Brian Green - Group 44 Properties

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/06/04

Brian Green is the creative mind behind 44 Stanley, the iconic urban renewal development in Jozi. We met at a friend’s birthday lunch recently, and our chat about renting space to restaurants and the role of eateries and other creative businesses in reviving urban spaces turned into a podcast. Brian’s Group 44 outfit also did Victoria Yards in Johannesburg and more recently developed a building in the Bree Street precinct. It’s a wide-ranging chat about an angle on running restaurants that I ...

48. Rupesh Kassen - Eat Like a Local

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/05/31

Food tours are a great way to discover the pulse of a city when you travel. That's how Rupesh Kassen has always immersed himself in the cities he's travelled to. So when he moved to Cape Town and started exploring the food and culture of the 'Mother City', it seemed an obvious gap in the local tourism market that he could step into. With a background as a chef and a long stint in the corporate finance world, he thought it was time for (another) career change, so he started Eat Like A Local. I...

47. Anwar Abdullatief - The Happy Uncles

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/05/24

Barely a week after we recorded this chat, Chef Anwar Abdullatief’s restaurant was named African Restaurant of the Year at the Luxe Restaurant Awards. A stunning achievement for an talented chef who never really intended to open a restaurant. Tired of fine diner kitchens, he thought he’d do something with food products. Somehow, along the way he found himself opening the excellent Barakat at Time Out Cape Town, and then The Happy Uncles, the city’s first halal fine diner, kind of opened itsel...

46. Bertus Basson - Motorcycle and Land Rover Enthusiast

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/05/17

He's been on my list of people to chat to since the very first show, but I finally got to sit down with Bertus Basson for a conversation that was totally not kak. We first met when I shot a portrait of a young chef who was shaking up the restaurant scene in Cape Town back in 2008. We've known each other 16 years and he is a friend I respect and admire even though we don't see each other much because he has a family, seven restaurants, a catering company, a pig and a bunch of dogs. We spoke ab...

45. Richard Bosman - Charcutier

A Table in the Corner ·

2024/05/10

This fascinating chat with charcutier Richard Bosman was prompted by an article about a dish he created for a story by Tony Jackman in Daily Maverick. I've known Richard for a while and always admired his artisanal charcuterie business, but reading the story reminded me that he'd be a great person to chat to on the show. While much of the discussion is about a traditional food craft, running a food business and Richard's background and business journey, we do touch on the source of vari...
