JHB West - Nov 21

Flesh, pith and skin are
chopped into salads, juice
is drizzled over meat, fish
and veggies, the aromatic
zest adds a complexity to
a dish’s flavour. Even the
leaves are used to wrap
meat, fish and cheese
for extra flavour, or finely
chopped and made into
a tea infusion. Gennaro’s
Limoni by Gennaro
Contaldo is a burst of sharp
recipes. Pavilion, R415, from
good bookstores
Let’s be honest.
Is it even Summer if you’re
not sipping cocktails? We’re
making ours with X by
Glenmorangie - a sweeter,
richer single malt than the
original - all swirling aromas
of pear and vanilla, setting
the stage for rich orange
sherbet and fudge. It is
delish neat, but our fave is
the Glenmorangie X BBQ
... a bold serve with a kick
of fiery spice. Fill a highball
glass with crushed ice, add
50ml X by Glenmorangie
and an equal amount
of ginger beer. Stir,
then squeeze three lime
wedges over the drink,
using them to garnish, too.

trees of the Philippines. Smith Street, R740 from good bookstores
