This issue is a mixture of favourite flavours from our complex South African heritage mixed in with a contemporary, behind-the-scenes dining experience at the Test Kitchen with Luke Dale-Roberts.

Crush takes a look at the personalities behind some of the popular, foreign-foodie establishments making waves in the Mother City, uncovers the Jozi pop-up restaurant scene and brings a mix of recipes into your kitchen.

Look out for the very popular Crush Advent Calendar, making a return as we head towards summer and the end of 2013. We have decided to do things a little differently this year, so please look out for the registration page in this issue to ensure that you don’t miss out on the incredible prizes on offer this year.

As always, we hope that you enjoy this issue and are inspired to keep eating and drinking until the next issue!
