Summertime ... and the living’s so easy<br />
These beaded wrap bracelets are the prettiest way to accessorise<br />
a Summer outfit. Made from Japanese Miyuki glass beads in<br />
gorgeous colours (we fancy this teal and aqua option), and<br />
dainty charms, they’re elasticated and wrap comfortably<br />
round the average wrist six times. Wear one, or a few, for a<br />
colourful boho look. R350 from themakerycollection.com<br />
A breath of French air<br />
There’s a recipe in Jan - A Breath of French Air, for a biltong<br />
and crisp sandwich. Made with simple fresh white bread and<br />
Mrs Ball’s chutney, Jan get tears in his eyes when he eats it.<br />
There’s also one for a naartjie panna cotta with Rice Krispies<br />
chocolate rocks. Tastes of home in Nice, France. Lots of them.<br />
Cape seed loaf and mosbolletjies and his mother’s souttert.<br />
Loads and loads of more sophisticated dishes too ... many of<br />
them surprisingly easy. No surprise at all that they’re delicious.<br />
This, Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen’s second book, is page<br />
after page of deliciousness ... and there are dishes you’ll make<br />
again and again. We’re off for a biltong and crisp sarmie.<br />

Tastes of Clifton<br />
Sun-bronzed skin. A warm Summer breeze. Soft golden<br />
sand. Icy, clear water that refreshes like no other. That’s<br />
Clifton. And we don’t need to be heading there these<br />
summer hols ... we can just make ourselves a cocktail with<br />
the new Clifton gin. Created by SA born Silvana Bottega<br />
(who describes it as liquid sunshine in a sip), the gin’s<br />
already won two gold medals. There are two versions ...<br />
Clifton 1 and Clifton 2 (just like the numbered protected<br />
coves of Clifton beaches). Clifton 1 is a sipping gin, all<br />
orange and lemon peel, lavender and fynbos, and is best<br />
served on the rocks. Clifton 2 - the cocktail gin - is eminently<br />
mixable. With hues of the sea, it’s all about marine and<br />
fynbos botanicals, cucumber and buchu, all working in<br />
harmony to capture the spirit of the Atlantic Ocean. The<br />
gins cost between R429 and R498 a bottle and you’ll find<br />
them at good bottlestores or on cliftongin.com<br />
