Chef Franck Dangereux was probably born famous, and hasn't stopped since. His legendary Chef's Table at Foodbarn in Noordhoek is one of the most sought-after food and wine pairings in the Cape and having had the pleasure once, I can but dream of a repeat experience.
This is an epicurean...
The mere thought of oysters and champagne sets my mind a-fizz. Add a beautiful location and serene country setting, and I'm all in. Happy to share news we can all use: not only does Grande Provence have an oyster bar, it is offering the ultimate taste experience of...
