In South Africa we have a saying: ‘local is lekker.’ The loose translation of the Afrikaans word ‘lekker’ is ‘cool/awesome/delicious.’ I couldn’t think of a better phrase to describe how lucky I felt to have the support of my local grocer, bottle shop and artisan chocolatier in the filming of Ceire’s Kitchen episode 5. Who wants to go to a large, overpriced shopping mall when you can go to a nearby corner shop with a chatty attendant, carefully chosen produce and the feeling of ‘community’?

Local is always lekker.

The Clock Hotel

Fantastic restaurant/bar that has a courtyard to spend your summer evenings in and a convienant bottle store right next door to collect a last minute bottle of red before dinner…
