Are you into cooking?
My wife is the cook and baker, and our home is known for chicken pie and lemon meringue. I get great pleasure in picking out good beers and whiskey, making my own biltong, or pulling a round of perfect flat whites. There is something for everyone in the kitchen.
Would we find you more often at the braai or in the kitchen?
Definitely on the patio at the braai, beer in hand, breathing in the Cape Town sea air.
One gadget you can't live without?
A decent coffee machine. I use a Rancilio espresso machine every day, and an Aeropress or Moka Pot when travelling. The ritual of trying to make the perfect cup is part of the enjoyment.
