They say that summer bodies are made in winter, but at Crush HQ that’s just not a rule we can live by. This chilly weather means a few things for us ­– red wine enjoyed around a fireplace, winter getaways and the chance to indulge in rich winter puddings with abandon! This month Sarah Dall bakes four utterly indulgent warm desserts, one of which is a white chocolate malva – need we say more? We follow Chef Chris Erasmus as he forages in the forests of Franschhoek and we chat to Richard Griffin, mastermind behind the spectacle that is Madame Zingara. We’ve also dug a little deeper into coffee culture and bring you the low down on the iconic cup of Joe. If you’re feeling up to the challenge, take on one of Chef Rudi Liebenberg’s recipes, which sees classic duo’s like Bangers & Mash and Surf & Turf reinvented.
