Meat is Hot!We tweeted a while ago about the fact that butcheries are hot. In fact they are so hot that they are receiving stacks of attention and serious makeovers the world over. The butcheries of your childhood have been replaced by something a whole lot cooler; and the coolest kid on the block has to be the Victor Churchill Butcher in Sydney.
We are unashamedly unabashedly in love!  Comments: 2»  
A Wealth of HealthWhile overseas we noticed more and more restaurants offering healthy menu alternatives for their under-12 patrons. Picture tasty dishes sans the moment-on-the-lips-lifetime-on-the-hips deep-frying.
It’s great to see restaurants committing to balanced, nutritious and inventive kids menus instead of falling into the twice-fried chicken nugget and french fry rut. There may be hope for us restaurateurs yet. Comments: 0

Neil Does AustraliaNeil Jewell, our favourite Charcuterie King, and his beautiful bread-baking wife – Tina – will be jetting of to Australia, from the 23rd to the 27th of June to share his passion for all things swine-and-dine related with his rather sizable Australian fan club.
The workshops cover the making of savory French style sausage, cooked and air-dried hams, blood sausage and more. For those not into meat Tina will be running her perennially popular Bread Baking courses. So while your Mr., or Mrs., spends time discovering just how much you can do with a pig you could learn how to fill your house with that delicious freshly baked bread smell. For more information about Neil and Tina Jewell in Adelaide, South Australia, contact: Robyn Watkins on +27 21 876 2151 / robyn@lqf.co.za or Di Jenkins on +61 8 8211 8666 / info@rivercafe.com.au.

Un-Valentine’s Day Feast
Tired of not being able to eat out on the 14th of February because you’re not part of a couple? Are you sick of over-priced red roses, tasteless heart-shaped confectionery and Chris de Burgh?
Well then you should join us for our Un-Valentine’s Day Feast at Bread & Wine! On the 14th of February Neil Jewell will be preparing a sensational three course dinner and there is only one unbreakable rule … absolutely no tables of two. In fact, to ensure strict enforcement of said unbreakable rule, everyone will be seated at one long and very social table. Don’t worry about feeling awkward there will be more than enough personality-reviving wine on offer from the Môreson. Who knows you might get to sit next to a real looker?
The dinner costs R250 per person (payable in advance) and includes a glass of Miss Molly Bubbly on arrival. There are only 20 places available so if you’re interested you really should book ASAP.
For more information, or to reserve your space at the UnValentine’s Day Feast, call Tina on (021)876 3692 or email her breadandwine@moreson.co.za.

Farm Grocer Gets a FaceliftThe Farm Grocer, at Bread & Wine Vineyard Restaurant (on Môreson) has just undergone a refurbishment. What’s more is it now opens at 09h00 every day of the week.
In addition to the décor Neil has added a new mini charcuterie menu, available exclusively through The Farm Grocer, to his offering. For those that are big Farm Grocer fans you’ll be happy to know that you can still purchase all of Neil Jewell’s delectable charcuterie, breads, preserves and – of course – Tina’s fabulous fudge directly from the grocer throughout the day.
