Romance. Friendship. Joy. And the possibility of happy endings. What more do you want in
a feel-good read? In the latest Katie Fforde (love her) release, Lizzie’s mother is keen for her
to have A Wedding in the Country, to a suitable chap chosen, obviously, by mum. And to
learn how to be a ‘good wife’, she’s sent off to cookery school in London. It’s 1963 … and
London is swinging! Lizzie cuts her hair, buys a mini dress and moves in with two great
friends. All of her mum’s plans are forgotten. She’s going to have fun … even if that entails
falling in love with someone who appears to be engaged to someone else. The perfect
read for a lazy Easter weekend. • Dodging doctor’s orders, 17-year-old Lenni, who’s living
in the terminal ward, joins an art class where she bumps into fellow hospital patient
Margot, a rebel-hearted 83-year-old from the next ward. Their bond is instant as they
realise that together they have lived an astonishing one hundred years. To celebrate
their shared century, they decide to paint their life stories … of growing old and staying
young, of giving joy and receiving kindness, of losing love and finding the person who
is everything. Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny and brimming with tenderness, The One
Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin unwraps the extraordinary
gift of life, even when it is about to be taken away, and revels in our infinite capacity for
friendship and love when we need them most. Keep the tissues at your side. • Was there
a single book club in the late 1990s which didn’t have The Notebook on the must-read
list? Impossible. And now, 25 years after its first release, Nicholas Sparks’ love story to
end all love stories is being released. It’s the story of Noah Calhoun, who returns from
war and, in an attempt to escape the ghosts of battle, sets his mind and his body to
restoring an old plantation home to its former beauty. But he’s haunted by memories of
the beautiful Allie, who he’d met years before … a girl who stole his heart at the funfair,
whose parents didn’t approve, a girl he wrote to every day for a year. When she turns up
on his doorstep, he has a chance to win her back. Small problem … she’s engaged to
someone else. You’ve seen the movie … you may have read the book … but read it (and
weep) again anyway. It’s not called a classic heartbreaker for nothing. And to celebrate
the 25th anniversary edition, we’ve got a special giveaway … three people can win a
copy of The Notebook plus a case of Fat bastard Rosé … your next book club
get-together’s going to be very special indeed. To enter, visit Get It National Magazines
on Facebook and enter on The Notebook’s post.

Forget the romance … we want an
adrenaline rush. And oh boy, do we have
that in these thrilling reads
Oh … we do love a Stephen Leather thriller. And if we put aside the fact that
it centres around billionaire and big game hunter Jon van der Sandt (the book
opens with him killing a massive bull elephant in Botswana), this is one hell of
a read. Van der Sandt is seeking revenge – while he’s shooting big game, his
family is holidaying at a luxury beach resort, where they’re killed by jihadist
terrorists. Van der Sandt wants vengeance, and he’s rich enough to arrange it.
He sends in a team of skilled ex-soldiers to bring the terrorists to him … but in
a case of mistaken identity, British doctor Raj Patel is taken hostage too. He’s
in war-torn Syria to treat the injured, and is only in the terrorist camp to help
some men who were hurt in an accidental explosion. Fortunately, the doctor
was trained as a soldier, and Van der Sandt gets more than he bargained for
when he kicks off his revenge hunting spree. With more than 40 books under
his belt, Leather’s not slowing down … The Hunting is a thrill-a-minute. • Allie
Reynolds is a former freestyle snowboarder, who spent five winters racing down
the mountains of France, Switzerland, Austria, and Canada. She’s taken her love
of snowboarding and made it the focus of her exciting debut novel, Shiver. A
dangerous natural environment, hugely competitive people, mind games and
sabotage make for a thrilling sport … and read. Five friends – all ex competitors,
who haven’t seen each other for a decade – meet for an out-of-season reunion
in a French Alps resort. But an ice-breaking game reveals they don’t really know
who arranged the reunion, or why. Things turn menacing really quickly … and it
appears all have secrets they’d rather not share from their time as competitors.
Including one involving murder. Loads of snowboard jargon, plenty of
suspense. • Another fave (this is turning out to be a smashingly good month for
us) … Gregg Hurwitz, and his hero character Evan Smoak, aka Orphan X. Evan’s
a foster home child, trained off-the-books as a government assassin. He’s been
forced into retirement but then gets a urgent plea from someone unexpected.
His mother needs help protecting a man who’s in the wrong place at the wrong
time. Running from an assassination team, he has no safe place to hide. Evan,
it appears, is his only hope. That’s until the secret group catches on to what
Evan is doing … and now Evan’s life is on the line, too. Prodigal Son is another
gripping thriller you can. not. put. down.
A missing bride. A blood-splattered
wedding dress. A guest list of
A-list celebrities. And a TV crew
documenting every extravagant detail.
Bring in the NYPD’s top team. James
Patterson and Marshall Karp’s NYPD
Red 6 – the sixth book in the series
– sees a bride kidnapped from her
dressing room. Fortunately, Detective
Kylie MacDonald and her plus-one,
Detective Zach Jordan, are guests, so
they’re right there in the thick of all the
drama. It’s all smart, fast writing with
loads of twists and turns – exactly what
keeps Patterson fans returning again
and again, making sure he stays on the
best-selling lists worldwide.

A jaw-dropping
prison escape classic
In Escape from Pretoria, Tim Jenkins tells how,
by using a series of hand-made wooden keys,
he, Tim, Stephen Lee and Alexander Moumbaris,
got through nine locked doors inside Pretoria
Central, taking them to Mozambique and
finally to London. It’s a thrilling story … more
so because it’s true! Tim and Stephen, after
training in London, became expert pamphlet
bombers in Cape Town and Joburg, and it
was after several successful years of raising
awareness about apartheid and the ANC that
they were caught and eventually sentenced
to a dozen years in jail. It was after Stephen’s
father visited him in prison, giving him a copy
of the prison escape classic Papillon, that Tim
began to seriously form an escape plan. Months
and months of planning, testing, failing, testing
again and lucky breaks meant that, finally, the
escape was on. And apart from locking the
doors behind them, they never looked back …

We’re drinking ... an elegant Bordeaux-style white
If you’re looking for a fine wine this month, you won’t do much better
than the newly released Constantia Glen TWO 2019, an elegant
white Bordeaux-style blend from the top-tier, family-owned Constantia
boutique wine estate. This vintage has already garnered rave reviews
from leading local and international wine commentators. And no
wonder. It’s a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (67 per cent), which lends acidity
and backbone, and Sémillon (33 per cent) which contributes to the waxy
weight, richness and texture. Winemaker Justin van Wyk suggests pairing
this with dishes like grilled kingklip with salsa verde, or lightly seared
green asparagus and buffalo mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto. It would
also be great with oak-smoked trout with dill and lemon crème fraiche
and a cucumber pickle. Constantia Glen TWO 2019 is available at a cellar
door price of R290, buy online at constantiaglen.com

More than just a scrunchie
… it’s a new way to stay
safe from spiked drinks
It’s not news that the scrunchie trend
is back. And we love it! But there is a
new accessory that’s not only useful
in tying back your hair but that can
protect your drink too. Drinkerbell is
a scrunchie-cum-drink cover. Here’s
how it works. Wear your Drinkerbell
scrunchie in your hair – or around your
wrist (so trendy). When you’re out and
having a (socially distanced) drink,
simply pop open the press stud on
the scrunchie and pull out the
attached liquid-resistant drink cover
and silicone straw. Then, feed the straw
through the eyelet in the drink cover,
stretch the scrunchie around the stem
or base of the glass (it fits glasses of
various sizes and styles), place the
drink cover over the rim of the glass
and voila, your drink’s protected from
spiking. Bonus … it’s fashionable – they
come in lovely patterns, colours and
designs – and you’ll never mistake
whose drink belongs to who again.

Lip-syncing
her way
success
Chané Grobler is
your typical bubbly
20-something girl next
door. She’s also the
top female TikTok
star in South
Africa, with a
jaw-dropping 2.3
million followers.
We chat to the real
star behind the
87.4 million likes.
Sounds impressive. But what on
earth is TikTok? we hear you ask.
Well … here’s a quick 101. The TikTok
app is centred on fun clips, each
under 60 seconds long, sometimes
choreographed and scripted, other
times simple and spontaneous.
Popular video themes include
dancing, tricks, skits, acting out South
Africanisms, or, as with most the
videos on the platform, lip-syncing to
songs in sitting rooms or bedrooms.
Chané’s rise to fame started in the
same way as most TikTok stars in the
world … she did it just for fun. Not
for a minute did she expect it would
become her full-time job. ‘Before
TikTok, it was called Musical.ly.
After seeing a lot of the videos
on Instagram, I jumped on the
08 Get It Magazine April 21
bandwagon and downloaded it. Oh,
I made some really cringy videos but
thankfully never posted them. When I
eventually did post my first video – a
cringeworthy one I have to add – I
barely got any likes or views. But that
didn’t put me off. After all, I was doing
it for the fun of it’.
Then a video of a hand game went
viral and people from across the
world suddenly had a huge interest in
Chané’s content.
‘Wow, I thought. People are actually
following me. And so I kept posting.
I soon got verified by TikTok and
started taking it super seriously. I
planned my videos, making sure to
post the best possible content. This
included getting proper lighting, a
tripod and redecorating my room for
better backgrounds in my videos.’
In 2019 she reached her first million
followers, and, as the saying goes, the
rest is history.
Chané has worked with major brands
like Levi’s, Lamborghini, Warner
Music, Revolve, Samsung, GHD and
Netflix. Then last year, she bagged
a nomination at the Nickelodeon
Kids’ Choice Awards and she is still
crushing it on TikTok, with dance
challenges, lip-syncs, tutorials
and comedy.
Although Chané lives a relatively
public life on social media, there are a
few things about her not many know
… like being a teacher, being handy
in the kitchen, and the fact she’s quite
good at tuning out and turning off
her phone!

Community involvement brings her heaps of joy. ‘I love helping others, simply
because I am a happy-and-grateful-about-life type of person. To help someone
genuinely makes me feel like I’m doing something worthwhile with my life.
Last year we made soup, buttered some sandwiches and handed it out to the
community. I do have a few things in mind for the future, one of them is to
become involved with Wollies Animal Shelter. Animal welfare is a subject very close
to my heart, so I aim to better their lives, even if it is just a little bit.’
She studied to become a teacher,
and loved every moment of it until
she had to wave her dream goodbye.
‘It was during my first year of practical
studies that I reached my first million
followers. The children at the school
started to recognise me and following
me on TikTok. Teaching them quickly
escalated to questions on anything to
do with TikTok instead of schoolwork.
I tried teaching at another school but
the same happened. As much as I love
working with children, I decided to put
my studies aside during my second
year and pursue a full-time career as a
social media content creator.’
Chané shrugs off haters and
cyberbullies. ‘Although I was often
cyberbullied and body shamed, I had
learnt to block and delete (literally and
figuratively) the hate and negativity.
Being told by a 12-year-old ‘I wish you
will just drown’, I realised some people
don’t have a filter. They say what they
want to say when they want to say
it. And, they think it is okay. I know
myself, what I was all about and wasn’t
going to be bothered by anyone’s
opinion of me, especially those I don’t
know. It is just so incredibly sad that
some people do not want the sun
to shine on you.
Behind the scenes, quite a lot of work goes into creating content. ‘Some of the
biggest misconceptions people have about creating content, especially for TikTok
and Instagram, is that it is quick and easy. Sure, it is fun, but it’s not always simple.
People don’t see the hours you’ve put into creating the content. The assumption
is that it is done quickly and you just post it. Right? Wrong. It takes time and
commitment, and consistent effort. Sometimes a 60-second video takes hours to
do. I have a young following, so at all times I need to make sure that whatever I do
post is suitable, uplifting and not offending. I never want a parent to tell their child
to unfollow me due to my content.’
She’s got the moves. ‘I started dancing when I was three years old … everything
from contemporary to hip-hop, disco to freestyle, ballet to acrobatics. At a stage, I
was amped to follow a career in dancing. Sadly, I had to give up it due to a terrible
fall while perfecting a dance routine. I injured my knees so badly that I couldn’t
continue any more. Nowadays, I live out this passion in my TikTok dance videos.’
Chané’s seven TikTok tips:
1. Follow trends that you see on your For You page.
2. Create quality content and be consistent when sharing content. If you go
too long without posting videos on TikTok, your followers will stop paying
attention and you will end up losing them. At least twice a week if possible.
3. If you find a video that has gone viral, try replicating it and add your
unique twist to it. Remember to use good lighting for your videos. And
hashtags, always!
4. Add videos to your other social media networks like Facebook, Twitter
or Instagram.
5. Search for challenges (where companies or personal brands propose
a challenge with a hashtag to users). If you do it right, you can get
new followers.
6. Dual videos are a type of content available on TikTok where you take a
post from another user, record yourself doing the same thing (or trying), and
it gets published in the split-screen app.
7. Don’t trust everyone, there are a lot of wolves out there. And always be kind.
Details: Follow her on TikTok, @chanegrobler and Instagram @chane_grobler18
Her bae is Roberto de Gouveia (aka
KingBerto), a fellow TikTok star.
They have a combined following of
more than 3.3 million on TikTok and
more than 133 000 on Instagram.
‘We met via TikTok, no surprises here! I
initially thought he was from America
until I realised that he only lives an
hour away from me. We became good
friends, hung out a lot and, of course,
made some content together. Yea, the
‘friends thing’ didn’t last for too long
… we’ve been a couple for a year now.
Our followers even gave us a new
name, Robbiné.’
To relax and unwind she spends
time away from her phone. ‘There
is nothing better than chilling in my
PJs, snacking and watching movies.
Or to do all the girly-girl things – hair
treatments, masks, body scrubs, nails
… the whole kaboodle. And then
relaxing in my bed with some feelgood
music in the background.’
She is quite handy in the kitchen.
’Wait until you try my super creamy
mac and cheese. Or my basil pesto
chicken pasta. Damn, they’re good,
even if I have to say so myself. I
recently joined the ‘TikTok baked
feta pasta’ craze and to my surprise, I
enjoyed every moment of making this
creamy, tomato-y pasta dish. So much
so, I’m considering making more foodrelated
content, trying out and sharing
recipes with my followers.’ Head over
to getitmagazine.co.za/pretoria for
the famous baked feta pasta recipe.

STEP INTO BIBBY’S KITCHEN
For some, the kitchen’s been a sweet escape from the reality of lockdown … and
Dianne Bibby has made sure we never run out of carefully-curated homely recipes
Compiled by DANIELLA GRAHAM
If Dianne Bibby’s recipes and photos
make your mouth water, then just
wait until you read how she speaks
about food. It’s practically poetic and
downright droolworthy!
‘Food is a vehicle for cultural
expression,’ says the local food stylist,
photographer and blogger, cookbook
author and recipe developer.
‘It tells the story of origin and heritage.
It merges the old with the new,
evolving into food that’s exciting and
fresh. Food can take you places you’ve
never been to before. It’s magical.’
When many headed for the kitchen to
take a sweet escape from lockdown
last year, Dianne met the demand for
home-cooked meal recipes not only
on her carefully-curated blog, ‘Bibby’s
Kitchen’ and social media pages, but
with an e-book, Beautiful Home Food.
‘The e-book is about homely food,
not too fancy, just a little special. The
recipes are versatile and easily adapted.
Plain Jane store cupboards are
transformed into nourishing bowls and
deceptively easy, yet deeply flavourful
casseroles and soups. There are five
essential chapters to see you through
the day from kitchen staples, breakfast
in pyjamas, sweet and savoury bread,
mains and trendy desserts.’
Some of Dianne’s favourite recipes in
the e-book are the broccoli tabbouleh
with tahini sauce, coconut rusks,
Dalgona ice cream and Swedish buns.
Just as an e-book was ‘the easiest way
to reach both local and international
audiences’, Dianne’s first cookbook,
Bibby’s Kitchen, made its way around
the world. ‘It’s been so rewarding to
see people cooking their way through
the book.’
Even the briefest scroll through
Dianne’s social media and blog reveals
the meticulous attention to detail
she gives to her cooking, styling,
writing and photography … and it’s
somewhat astonishing that these are
all self-taught skills. Dianne studied
fashion design and worked in the
industry for 18 years. After she had her
two daughters, food became her ‘new
creative outlet’. In 2014, she started
her blog. ‘Publishing the first blog
post was immensely daunting. Seven
years on, it feels like my third child.’
When it comes to creating recipes,
Dianne finds she often has ‘too many
ideas, too little time’. ‘I find inspiration
in everyday things – food cultures,
beautiful seasonal produce, an unusual
ingredient and food trends.’
She’s also constantly inspired to cook
with new ingredients. ‘The kitchen is a
bustling place with five or six recipes
going at the same time, testing and
tasting. There is an energy that’s
infectious.’
While Dianne finds it important to
include all food cultures in her recipes,
you’ll find a strong Middle Eastern
influence. ‘Perhaps working on a
kibbutz in my twenties has something
to do with it. I love the uninhibited use
of fresh ingredients and spices used
in Middle Eastern food. It’s vibrant,
colourful and very textural.’

Di’s Dalgona and hazelnut
chocolate swirl ice cream
Serves 10
Ethereally light and voluptuously
seductive, like a billowy cream-less
coffee mousse, if you will.
Trendy Dalgona coffee has stood
in the gap for stay-home coffee
aficionados. It pairs effortlessly with
chocolate and hazelnuts in this nochurn
ice-cream recipe.
What you’ll need:
Dalgona coffee froth: 30ml (2 Tbsp)
instant coffee granules; 30ml (2 Tbsp)
granulated sugar; 30ml (2 Tbsp) cold
water • Chocolate ganache: 100g dark
chocolate (50 per cent or 70 per cent),
roughly chopped; 100ml full-cream
milk • Ice cream: 300g condensed
milk, chilled; 10ml (2 tsp) vanilla
extract; 500ml (2 cups) fresh cream;
50g hazelnuts, toasted and
roughly chopped
Method:
For the Dalgona froth, place all the
ingredients in a small mixing bowl
and whisk until pale and mousse-like.
To make the ganache, melt the
chocolate and milk together. Whisk
until smooth and glossy.
For the ice cream, place the
condensed milk, vanilla and cream
in the bowl of an electric mixer. With
the balloon whisk attachment, whisk
slowly to incorporate, increasing the
speed once the cream has thickened
slightly. Beat until pale and fluffy. Add
the Dalgona froth and mix on a low
speed to incorporate.
Fold through most of the hazelnuts,
reserving a handful for finishing.
Transfer the ice cream to a suitable
container. Dollop over the ganache
and swirl through. Finish with the
remaining hazelnuts.
Cover and freeze overnight.
Set on the counter for several minutes
to soften before serving.

Flip the script on stress
Seventy per cent of us spend most of our day in a state of
stress. Our nervous systems are in a position of fight, flight or
freeze. With the constant pressure, the weight of perceived
expectations and the drive to be ‘always on’, many of us live with
an energy and nervous system that feels like a tightly clenched
fist, rather than an easeful, gently unfurling hand. And staying
shackled in this state of overwhelm and stress has far-reaching
consequences on our health. We often only pay attention when
illness strikes, having tuned out to all the messages our bodies
were sending us along the way. According to Nicky Rowbotham,
author of 7 Steps to Finding Flow, health whispers until one
day it screams. In the book, Nicky points out that while we can’t
avoid stress, we can deal with it differently and access better
health, energy and balance. And she shows us how to move from
being overwhelmed and ‘locked in’ by stress to a more easeful,
resilient and aligned life. Nicky, who’s worked with many highly
motivated and driven entrepreneurs and professionals looking
to fulfil their potential and live their best life – not just at work –
helps you learn what’s truly behind your stress, how it impacts
your energy, hormones and nervous system, how to move your
nervous system into a state of flow and how to make choices that
support your energy, by living in harmony with your body. Health
whispers until one day it screams. Let’s not wait for the scream!

Hello good health
Living our best life, as healthily has we can

We’re all trying to eat healthily, and

hectic … and there’s an increased
need for convenience, affordability,
and a reduction of waste. Which is
where frozen comes into play. And
really … is frozen not absolutely fine?
There are loads of misconceptions

value of frozen foods. We chatted to
the folk at McCain and Sea Harvest …
well-known, much loved and trusted,
and our go-to choice when we’re
reaching into the freezer section at
our local supermarket, who share
with us some of the benefits of
frozen options.
Frozen food is harvested at its peak,
sustainably sourced and snap frozen
within hours to maintain freshness
and lock in nutrients. No bacterial
growth, no undesirable chemical
preservatives.
It’s convenient – there’s no way
around it, frozen meals are a win
on a busy weeknight. The cleaning,
chopping, crumbing and portioning
has all been done for you.
It’s healthy … contrary to popular
belief, freezing causes very little
nutrient loss and preserves the
vitamins and minerals in food – so all
those fantastic nutrients end up on
your dinner table.
It’s affordable – frozen vegetables
and fish have a much longer shelf
life than fresh produce so there’s
less wastage, meaning you get more
broccoli for your buck.
It’s constantly available – buying
frozen food means you can enjoy
your favourite vegetables and
fish year-round. And, because of
its longer shelf life, you can make
sure you always have a quick
dinner-time solution in the freezer!

We’ve mastered meat-free Mondays. Now let’s take it a step further.
LOVE PLANTS
Embracing a plant-based lifestyle
The daughter of a goat farmer, Tammy Fry saw
how, day after day, the goats were sold for
slaughter. But she realised that if she named
the individual goats, they crossed the line from
being ‘units of currency’ to pets. So she started
naming as many of them as possible.
The same goat farmer, many years later, swore
off meat forever, and in the early 1990s, he and
his wife started The Fry Family Food Company,
known internationally for its range of plantbased
food products.
Tammy, recently named as one of the top eight
women changing the world through food,
and founder of Meat-Free Mondays here and
in Australia, knows all too well the challenges
of choosing a plant-based lifestyle … and
discusses them, and the solutions, in her first
book Made with Love and Plants. More than a
recipe book, it’s full of really useful, thoughtful
information … from why you should choose a
plant-based diet to transitioning (don’t go cold
turkey!), answering questions – where do you
get your iron (beans and legumes and broccoli
and dates), and giving essential tips (navigating
the supermarket and decoding labels).
There are nearly six dozen really great recipes,
that quickly dispel the idea that this diet is
boring or restrictive.
There’s a breakfast carrot cake (Carrot cake.
Breakfast. Swoon) and glazed, grilled fruit
skewers with chocolate sauce to get your
day off to a sweet start, the prettiest, tastiest
Vietnamese rice paper rolls with hoisin-peanut
dipping sauce or loaded homemade nachos
for midday Summer snacking, and a West
African coconut curry that’ll have you dishing
up seconds in no time.
Tammy suggests you milk coconuts, not cows,
and so there are recipes for rice, coconut,
almond and cashew nut milk, and a whole
section on treats and lunch box ideas.
If you’re thinking of going the plant-based
route, we bet this book will sway you; if not, it’s
worth a buy for recipes for you to keep meatfree
Mondays interesting. Simple. Delicious.
Healthy. All you want, really. For more from
Tammy, visit seed-blog.com.

Vanilla nice cream with cookie crumble
This one makes the nice list. Nice to eat, nice to make, nice ’n’ healthy too.
You’ll need: 3 frozen bananas; 1 Tbsp maple syrup; a few drops natural
vanilla extract; 1 Tbsp cocoa powder (optional for making chocolate ice
cream); quarter cup coconut milk (if necessary); crunchy oat and choc
cookies (recipe in the book, or use any other vegan cookie, crumbled)
To make: Add the bananas, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cocoa
powder (if using) to a powerful blender and blitz until smooth. Add
small amounts of the coconut milk, if required for a smoother texture.
Serve in a bowl or a cone, topped with crumbled cookies.

Breakfast carrot cake
Not all puddings are equal. Take this one for example,
technically a cake, eaten at breakfast, no refined sugar,
no dairy and nutrition in every spoonful. Breakfast
doesn’t get better than this. This makes enough for two.
You’ll need: 1 cup each of coconut milk, water and rolled
oats; 2 cups peeled and grated carrots; 2 bananas,
mashed; 4 Tbsp raisins or dried goji berries; 2 Tbsp
maple syrup; 1 tsp each of ground cinnamon and vanilla
spice/essence; half a tsp each of ground ginger, ground
nutmeg, ground cloves; and half a cup coconut cream
For the toppings, you’ll need: shaved coconut; maple syrup
(to taste); and pineapple pieces
To make: In a small pot over a medium heat, bring the
milk and water to a simmer. Add the oats and bring to a
slow boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for
3 minutes. Add the grated carrots, bananas and raisins or
berries, as well as the maple syrup, vanilla essence and
spices. Cook for another three to five minutes. Pour in
the coconut cream and stir well, allowing to simmer for
approximately five minutes until the liquid is absorbed
and a thick consistency is reached. Add the toppings
and decorate as desired. Enjoy the ‘cake‘ warm.
We admit. We’ve
taken the three
sweetest options
from Made with
Love and Plants.
But trust us …
there are loads
of savoury dishes
that are equally
as delicious.
Yum. Yum. Yum.
Penguin, R290.
Cinnamon not only tastes amazing when added to
desserts, smoothies and savoury dishes, but it’s one of
nature’s superfoods. This spice has powerful medicinal
benefits as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Just a quarter teaspoon a day can lower the risk of some
chronic diseases. Tammy admits she might be trying
too hard here to make muffins look like health food.
But who could blame her? These cinnamon and walnut
muffins take less than half an hour from start to finish
… you’re meant to leave them to cool on a rack before
eating. We didn’t. Get the recipe on getitmagazine.co.za.
You’re welcome.

Reflect your style
There are so many great reasons to decorate
with mirrors. They instantly brighten and
open up a space, they reflect light, they
work in every room of your home. And
if you’re nervous about committing to art,
they’re a safe, timeless option.
And they’re so versatile. Hang them on the
wall, prop one up on the sideboard, or leave
it on the floor leaning against the wall.
When decorating with mirrors, the most
important factor to take into account is
what it’s going to reflect. Facing a window
is our first choice – a great way to bring the
outdoors in, and to add instant light. Similarly,
if there’s something in the room you love
and would like to emphasise – a gorgeous
artwork, a statement piece of furniture –
then simply position the mirror to reflect
it. Double the joy. But the same principle
applies when it’s facing something not
quite as attractive … so beware of placing it
opposite a boring wall or unattractive view.
Mirrors are perfect to give the room a focal
point. Above a mantle or sideboard or the
entrance hall table, all you need
to do is pop a sconce or a piece
of art on either side (measured
to within an inch of their lives …
exact symmetry is everything),
and voila.
Equally eye-catching is a wall of
different mirrors – various sizes,
shapes and finishes – providing
they are all the same style, it’s an
exceptional focus piece. Again,
precise measurement is essential,
and the rooms need to be fairly
uncluttered, or it may all get
a bit much!
In the case of mirrors, size really does
count. So think big, bigger, best. And
don’t be nervous to go oversize in
small rooms or spaces, either … they
create the illusion of space, so a small
room will appear to be much larger.
Long, full-length mirrors are also
great left on the floor and leaning
against the wall … stylish, elegant
and useful. Great in a bedroom, or
in a skinny passageway.
If not being hung – or leaned – at
a particular height for a specific
reason, hang them as you would
artwork … at eye level.
Modern, classic and antique,
crystal-clear glass or a smoky,
moody option … mirrors can add
style, or create one.
Understated,
classic, useful,
this leaning
mirror is a
marvellous
bedroom
option.

PLANT
Indoor plant of the month
We’re massive fans of the white anthurium, a lovely Easter
flower. As the blooms age, they often develop a soft green
tinge … really pretty. The combination of lush green
leaves and glossy white ‘flowers’ – which are in fact really
coloured leaves – lighten and brighten a room, improving
and purifying the air as well. Anthuriums thrive anywhere
with good light and a little water once a week. A good
plant for beginners, they forgive neglect and are almost
indestructible. And if you feed them with liquid fertiliser
once a month, except in winter, you’ll encourage them to
keep on pushing out flowers. Details: lvgplants.co.za
Compiled by: KYM ARGO and ALICE COETZEE.
We’re planting…
Osteospermum Serenity Coral Magic is a really wonderful, neat, compact plant,
that’s always covered in flowers and is great for tucking into the front of a border,
and is a breathtakingly beautiful patio plant. With its soft coral blooms with a
glowing inner ring and deeper pink or lilac centre, they’re at their best in Autumn
… and as the flowers mature they change colour, hence the ‘magic’. We like it
alone, but if you want some added colour, it combines well with Osteospermum
Blue Eyed Beauty – which has a purplish-blue centre and yellow petals. Plant
these in a sunny spot, in well-composted soil that drains well. They are not waterhungry
but will bloom better if the soil is kept moist while they are flowering. They
are easy to grow, reliable and vigorous … flowering a little less during the very cold
months but bouncing back with a great Spring flush. Details: ballstraathof.co.za

(think Juicy Boerewors, Yummy Peanut Butter, Caramel and Condensed Milk,
and 11 more), in Crunchy, Munchies, Squishies and Puppy Trainers. We’re
going to try the Refreshing Mint Flavoured Dental Tubes variety (bye-bye
dog breath). The treats are made from real meat and are an ideal daily treat
to complement a healthy, nutrition-based and balanced diet for all breeds
of puppies and dogs. You’ll find them at pet and vet stores for between R17

OLD WORLD
VICTORIAN CHARM
We love exploring our city ... rich with history and magnificent landmarks.
This month we’re travelling back to the Victorian Age … more especially to
a well-preserved piece of history, the Sammy Marks House, with this excerpt
from the gorgeous coffee book table, Hidden Pretoria.
A side view of the house with manicured
gardens in the foreground. Extensions to the
building were in keeping with the family’s
growing stature – the double storey section
contains the firs-floor billiard-room additions.
28 Get It Magazine April 21
Hidden Pretoria by Johan Swart and Alain Proust is an exceptional book, and we’d say a
must own for Pretoria residents (as well as those who love our gorgeous city). It highlights
some of our hidden treasures, reminds of the architectural riches and also enlightens visitors
who might think the city only offers the Union Building, with the monumental Mandela
statue and the Voortrekker Monument. There is that but also so much more. Think places of
worship, palace of Justice, museums, bank buildings, arcades, alleys and atriums, hospitals
... just waiting to be explored. R470, Penguin Random House

The story
of Sammy
Marks
is that of a selfmade
man. From
a relatively poor
background in
Lithuania, he came
to South Africa by
way of Britain, a
Jewish trader who
would later become
a businessman, mining tycoon
and industrialist on the Highveld.
Mendelsohn’s 1991 biography on
Marks, titled The Uncrowned King of
the Transvaal, alludes to his influence
in the region. In the Zuid Afrikaansche
Republiek (ZAR), Marks was initially
an uitlander (immigrant) but, being
a close ally of President Paul Kruger,
he gained concessions for a number
of industries that had considerable
impact on the region becoming selfsufficient.
Apart from the infrastructure
associated with his coal, steel,
dynamite, liquor, retail and agricultural
industries, Marks was also the patron
of important civic buildings, including
the Old Synagogue and the Sammy
Marks Fountain.
Marks developed his estate on the
farm Zwartkoppies, on the banks
of the Pienaars River adjacent to his
Eestefabrieken industrial projects on
the Delagoa Bay trade route. Today,
Zwartkoppies is located about 20
km east of the city centre and rather
hidden away alongside Pretoria’s
rapidly developing periphery, wedged
between Mamelodi township and
Pretoria’s wealthier suburbs. It is one
of a number of heritage sites, all
related to important personalities, that
currently serve as house museums. The
estate shares its Victorian domesticity
with the Melrose House of George
Heys, Jewish financiering with the
Paul Kruger House, and country estate
escapism with the Jan Smuts House.
The house and its associated
domestic rituals are Victorian in their
conception and perhaps reflect
Marks as Anglophile with middle
class English ideals. Construction
materials were imported, shipped and
carted to Pretoria. Marks is reputed
to be responsible for much of the
initial planning, and construction
commenced around 1884.
Although
the Marks
house was
not a typical
Transvaal farm
dwelling, the
wrap-around
veranda and
slate floors
were regional
features and
the house
represents an
adaptation
of Victorian
ideals to the
South African
landscape.
The kitchen, with its large imported stove, was an early addition
to the house. ‘Modern equipment and a large staff contingent enabled
Marks to host groups of guests that included dignitaries such as
Paul Kruger and Cecil John Rhodes.
April 21 Get It Magazine 29

The initial furnishings were selected by Marks and his wife
Bertha around the time of their wedding in England. During
the latter parts of the 19th century, the house was altered and
enlarged to reflect Marks’ growing ambitions and changing
preferences, while upgrades to the plumbing, electricity and
heating systems kept the property ahead of its time.
By the early 20th century, most of the Marks family resided
in Johannesburg, but the house remained in a family trust
until the late 1980s when the state became the custodian
of the Zwartkoppies property and it was proclaimed a
national monument. Restoration work included revealing
original decorative wall painting hidden behind subsequent
layers and the reconstruction of the missing trelliswork on
the verandas.
The Zwartkoppies buildings are perhaps less architecturally
accomplished than other buildings of the era, such as
Melrose House, but the estate is a unique cultural landscape,
an English country estate vernacularized to its South
African veld. Apart from the house and its additions, there
are outbuildings such as the stables complex, formal and
landscaped gardens in the English tradition and remnants
of former farming activities. Now under the management of
Ditsong Museums of South Africa, the house preserves an
extensive collection of original furniture, an exceptionally
fine billiard room, as well as the Marks family archives. In the
21st century, the Sammy Marks Museum serves both as a
unique representation of early pioneer settler history and
as a tangible reference point in reflecting on aspects of our
colonial past.
Visiting info ...
The Sammy Marks Museum is
open Tuesday to Sunday from
9am until 2pm. The entrance
fee inlcudes a guided tour,
which lasts around an hour.
There are regular bird walks,
too, so ring for dates. Entrance
is R50 for adults, R25 for
children, R20 for pensioners.
Savannah Country Estate,
Old Bronkhorstspruit (R104)
Donkerhoek. Details:
012-492-5800, ditsong.org.za/
sammy-marks-museum
The dining room and drawing rooms are filled with
furniture imported from England and a range of
collected objects typical of Victorian homes.
Several items, including the porcelain on display,
bear the family monogram. The large portrait
in the background is of Marks.
The billiard room was seen
as a status symbol and would
have been used by Marks to
discuss business and politics
with his confidants. A unique
feature is the original
coved ceiling with its fine
mouldings and hand-painted
botanical motifs.

Spoil
April
Gasp. It’s ...
Kate Spade New York.
This may well be our sweetest Spoil ever! We’re dancing
with joy over the new (and first) Kate Spade New York
fragrance … a cheerful, feminine, sparkling scent which
launched in SA this month. All sweet wild strawberry and
rose essence, citrusy bergamot and freesia, it’s optimism and
happiness and spontaneous celebrations wrapped up in a beautiful
curvy bottle, sporting the Kate Spade signature spade, and a pink
and white box that’s quite honestly too pretty to discard.
This modern, fruity-floral fragrance is a joyful
scent that celebrates women and their sense
of individuality. It launched with an upbeat
campaign featuring Maddie Ziegler (who stars
in Steven Spielberg’s movie adaptation of the
musical West Side Story), dancing with friends
against the iconic New York City skyline. But
dance is universal … so be it the New York or
Joburg skyline, Cape Town’s Table Mountain,
Ballito’s breath-taking beaches, we can
celebrate the passion of the fragrance and dance
with Maddie, who shared some of her secrets
with us. Head on over to getitpretoriamagazine
on Facebook, where you can see the video,
read about her dance secrets, and where you’ll
find the post about this month’s Spoil. Enter
there, and you could be dancing away with a
bottle of Kate Spade New York fragrance and
matching hand and body lotion and a stunning
Kate Spade tote bag. Swoon only after you’ve
entered! Entries close April 25.
