Fault Lines by Emily Itami is a brilliant, modern love story. Set in Tokyo, it revolves 

around Mizuki, a Japanese housewife, who has a hardworking husband, two 

adorable children, a beautiful apartment ... and a crushing sense of loneliness. But 

then she falls for Kiyoshi, and it soon becomes clear that she is living two lives – and 

that she can choose only one. Phoenix • We’re all about love this month, obvs, and 

we adore Mary Berry. And whether you’re looking for a new dish to impress the 

book club girls, or simply want something delicious for mid-week dinner, you’ll find 

it in Mary Berry Love to Cook, where she shares more than 120 irresistible, no-fuss 

recipes that, she hopes ‘will bring happiness into your kitchen. Each beautifully 

photographed dish celebrates the delicious ingredients and flavours I love, and 

which make cooking at home such a joy’. Penguin Random House 

Let’s kick off February Book Club with a Cap Classique with a touch of gold. 

Kanu Angelina Gold has 24 carats of edible gold flakes, the first for a sparkling wine in 

South Africa. Paying homage to the 50th anniversary of this exceptional wine style in South 

Africa, Johan Grimbeek, winemaker and cellar master at Kanu, describes this rich salmon-hued 

and gold-flecked wine with a very pale rim as ‘freshing and crisp, displaying red berry fruit, 

crunchy red apple and delicate candyfloss flavours. Entry onto the palate is dry with persistent 

red fruit, malted barley and wild strawberries, and has an extended finish with a toasty 

undertone’. He assures us that extensive research and development has been undertaken 

regarding the insertion of gold flakes into wine, and they’re completely edible and harmless. 

Another we-love feature is the light-emitting diode (LED) unit in the bottle’s punt which 

lights up the gold flakes when switched on. R1200 a bottle, available from kanu.co.za

Jodi Picoult’s Wish You Were 

Here is all about how life 

happens when you are making 

other plans. In 29-year-old 

Diana’s case it involves a 

promotion and flying off to 

an exotic island in the Pacific, 

where she knows her surgeon 

boyfriend is going to propose 

(hint, boys, don’t hide the ring 

in the sock drawer). But … Life! 

And Covid! Halfway through 

this book you’re hit with a 

massive twist, and then they 

just keep coming. Loved it. 

Hodder & Stoughton • To Italy 

With Love by Nicky Pellegrino

not-the-best love history - 

meet in a romantic mountain 

town in Italy. Where - obvs - 

love wins! Orion 

Our book of the month 

If the earth moves this Valentine’s Day, it’s from the little jumps 

of joy around the world as Marian Keyes fans discover she’s just 

released a new book. And not any book. A Rachel Walsh book. 

Oh, joy! 20 years ago we read Rachel’s Holiday ... and way back 

then in the nineties, she had a fondness for recreational drugs 

and was a hot mess. Now - in Again, Rachel - she’s good. She has 

love, a family, a brilliant job as an addiction counsellor. All her bad 

habits are behind her ... now all she’s addicted to is expensive 

trainers! But when an old love interest reappears in her life, she 

hits a wobble. She thought she was fixed. But is all that about 

to change? It’s only February, but we’re convinced this is going 

to be our book of the year. Oh ... and for those of you who’re all 

‘it’s just chick lit’, MK reads are so, so much more. In her books 

she touches - with knowledge and empathy and a marvellously 

wicked humour – on domestic violence and mental illness, drug 

abuse and alcoholism, divorce and family (that Walsh family … 

just adore!). She, and her books, are warm, witty, brutally honest. 

And jolly great reads! Penguin Random House. 

Glamour, gossip & scandal, 

Where The Grass Is Green by the fabulous Lauren 

Weisberger (author of The Devil Wears Prada) revolves 

around Peyton, a high-profile anchor for a morning news 

programme, who’s an American darling and can do no wrong. 

Until her husband is arrested. The charge? 

Admissions fraud ... a payment (read bribe) to get their 

daughter into the best college. Off go Peyton and her 

daughter to hide out with her sister in the suburbs, hoping 

that the scandal will die down. It’s all glamour, and gossip and a 

sensationally enjoyable read. Harper Collins 

For these, and other great reads, visit exclusivebooks.co.za 

1963. A chateau in Provence. Fresh 

from London and a recent cookery 

course, Alexandra arrives at the 

chateau where for one month she’ll 

be looking after three children. Three 

silent, rather hostile children, she 

discovers on her arrival. A boy and 

two girls, badly in need of some love, 

attention, and an English education. 

But Alexandra has always loved a 

challenge and feels equipped to deal 

with most things life throws her. But 

what she is a good deal less sure about 

is whether she’ll be able to cope with 

their father - an impossibly goodlooking, 

entirely unsuitable French 

count with whom she is trying very 

hard not to fall in love. Katie Fforde’s A 

Wedding in Provence ... the perfect,

Picnics and cocktails and matchy-matchy mum and

Friends. Food. Flavour. All we need, really. 

Michael Olivier says Friends. Food. Flavour. is the culmination 

of a long journey. He was invited by the Voyager Wine Estate 

in Western Australia to prepare a Cape Buffet for the duration 

of the Margaret River November Wine Festival. He, along with 

his wife, Madeleine, researched, deconstructed, and rebuilt 

the recipes, leaving them with a collection of essentially Cape 

dishes, which he wanted to publish. And what a collection 

it is. The book, sensationally illustrated by the jolly talented 

Roelien Immelman, includes dishes from the Cape Buffet, as 

well as additional ones from their restaurants and friends. So 

there’s Snoekpatee rubbing shoulders with Oeufs en Meurette, 

Pampoenkoekies and Soetpatats alongside a Tuscan Brick 

Chicken, Bobetie follows Arroz de Pato Portuguese Duck Rice. 

There are recipes from local foodies who we know and love - 

Dianne Bibby, Ina Paarman, Sam Linsell. It’s a feast - visually, too ... 

too, too delish to resist. Penguin, R400 

Cocktails for the season of love. And 

the prettiest one imaginable is this. 

It uses Japan’s legendary Roku Gin. 

For this Blossom Cocktail, you’ll need 

50ml Roku Japanese Gin, 25ml each 

Triple Sec and fresh lemon juice, 50ml 

cranberry juice, tonic and an edible 

flower to garnish. To make, add all 

ingredients except the flower into a 

shaker with ice. Shake well and strain 

into a chilled glass with lots of ice. 

Garnish with an edible flower. If you 

have the time, go the extra mile and 

make flower ice cubes. It’s a bit fiddly, 

but well worth it. Fill an ice tray with 

water, carefully place pretty, edible 

flowers into the water and freeze. 


Blossom Cocktail

A joyful wine 

If you’re a fan of Steenberg Ruby Rosé (we are) you’ll 

have noticed it has a fresh new, elegant look. If you’ve 

yet to try this lovely, pale coral dry rosé, we urge you to 

do so. The perfect wine for a Valentine picnic, there are 

subtle scents of strawberry sherbet, blueberry coulis, 

rose petal, watermelon and fresh garden herbs, while 

you’ll taste juicy summer melon, berries and spiced 

peaches. R112 from steenbergfarm.com/shop

fabulous 

Age is just a number. Which is a very 

easy thing to say when you’re still in 

your 30s or entering your 40s. But at 

50, society says you are supposed to 

slow down as you enter the so-called 

middle-age years? Oh, heck no! That 

couldn’t be further from the truth. Well, 

not for Marna Grobler, business owner, 

avid athlete and now also a qualified 

health and wellness coach. 

“So many women I talk to see turning 

50 as an ending. Almost like you’ve 

reached your sell-by date. But I believe 

50 is just the beginning. Now, after 

years of putting family and children 

first, it is your time. Time to get your 

mojo back! Pursue your passions. You 

really don’t have to fit into the mould 

of others’ opinions or the fluctuating 

standards of society.” 

It was during lockdown when Marna 

could not work that she decided to 

keep her mind busy and generate 

some sort of an income by going back 

to studying. 

“With my teaching background and 

love for sport and people, it made 

perfect sense to study health and 

wellness coaching, combining these 

two passions. Since then, I’ve launched 

Body in Bloom Health and Wellness 

Coaching. We focus on fitness, weight 

loss, reducing stress, achieving a better 

work-life balance, prioritising self-care 

and how to practise a positive mindset. 

There are various programs, from a 

motivator package to meditation and 

even one for menopause.” 

That’s not all. Soon after hitting the 

half-century mark, Marna launched a 

50andMe lifestyle concept website. She 

You are never too old to start something new. And 

Marna Grobler proves it. When she turned the big 

5 - 0, she refused to allow her worth to have a use-by 

date. Instead, she reinvented herself, her life and career. 

And she is happier than ever. 

felt there was a need for a platform 

where women could connect, interact, 

and find everything they might need 

to help them grow older, while feeling 

fabulous and not being overwhelmed. 

On the site you’ll find health, wellness 

and lifestyle articles and tips, shared by 

Marna and professionals that are part 

of the 50andMe family. And there is no 

stopping Marna yet. 

“It’s still a fairly new brand ... I have 

so many plans that I’m permanently 

starry-eyed. There are plans for a FitFlo 

Fitness for a cause event, our NPO 

that gives back to the community 

by means of fitness events. Then 

our newly launched Pink Ribbon Ink 

campaign that will run throughout the 

year, assisting breast cancer survivors.” 

In between meeting clients and 

bride-to-be appointments, doing 

one-on-one fitness sessions Marna 

also manages to fit in time to train six 

days every week ... be it cycling, open 

water swimming, running or strength 

training. There’s even talks about 

running the Comrades Marathon and 

doing the Ironman 70.3 in Mosselbay 

later this year. Now that’s #goals! 

“Funny enough, I was never really a 

sporty kind of girl when I was younger. 

I did a bit of netball at school and of 

course the compulsory PE classes 

where I was always back of the pack 

and trudged through the classes. 

After school, I started studying for 

my teacher’s degree. I became a fullblown 

student with loads of takeaway 

food and no exercise. The most I 

would exert myself was a fast walk to a 

class when I was late. But some health 

issues, later on, made me realise I need 

to make a change.” 

And she did just that. She started 

to run, and today she is the proud 

owner of a Comrades marathon 

green number and has four half 

Ironman triathlons under her belt. So 

it comes as no surprise that Marna is 

also a finalist in the Woman in Sports 

category for the Woman of Stature 

Awards in March. 

“Yes, I am passionate about sport and 

healthy living, but that doesn’t mean 

I don’t enjoy a good glass of wine or 

bubbly with my girlfriends.” 

At home, Marna is the no-makeupno-shoes 

kind of woman, who loves 

to spend time with friends and family 

and play board games. Living life to 

the max is what she is all about. 

From solo jumping out of an 

aeroplane, skinning dipping after 

a long run to aiming to become a 

contestant on Survivor, one thing is for 

sure, for Marna life is mind over matter 

... never allowing stereotypes and age 

to limit her potential or what she can 

achieve. Cheers to that!

Marna’s fave smoothie 

After over-indulging during the holidays, a healthy smoothie is a great idea. 

Here’s Marna’s favourite recipe: 

You’ll need: 2 cups of coconut water; ½ pineapple, peeled and cored; ¼ 

papaya, peeled and pitted; ½ cucumber, cubed; 1 ½ teaspoon of fresh ginger, 

grated; 1 teaspoon turmeric powder; ice 

How to: Add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds or 

until smooth. 

Eight tips to master 

better habits in 2022 

1 

Make SPF your BFF. Using a good 

sunscreen even on cloudy days 

is so important it will shield your skin 

from signs of ageing and sun damage. 

2 

Exercise at least three times a 

week for 30 minutes. Studies have 

shown that exercising only two to 

three times a week will slow down the 

ageing process by 25 per cent. 

3 

Get enough sleep. At least six 

to eight hours a day. Sleep not 

only helps our minds switch off but 

also assists in weight loss and a 

happy mood. 

4 

Add a spoonful of collagen to 

your coffee in the morning. The 

benefits are endless. Less wrinkles, no 

achy joints, strong and healthy bones 

to name a few. 

5 

Be mindful. Studies have shown 

that getting in tune with 

ourselves through mindfulness 

improves wellbeing and brings 

down stress. 

6 

Punctuate your day with a minimeditation 

with one minute of 

awareness of your thoughts, feelings, 

and sensations - one minute of 

focused attention on breathing and 

one minute of awareness of the body 

as a whole. 

7 

Be kind to yourself. Imagine being 

your own best friend. Praise 

yourself rather than wait for others to 

do it. Remember you are enough! 

8 

Try something new. Trying 

new things not only helps us 

to vanquish those fears, but it also 

allows us to expand our minds and 

learn — both about said new thing, 

and about ourselves. And then there’s 

the rush. There’s nothing quite like or 

as memorable as the thrill of a new 

experience.

Calm down 

Our NYR? To take it slow. Look after ourselves. Treat ourselves. Join us! 

NYR#1 To spoil ourselves on a regular (read: daily) basis with luxurious goodies 

that won’t hurt our budget. Like these Schoonhuid bath clay soaps and 

bombs. With locally sourced, enriching, raw ingredients that can 

be traced back to their origin, Schoonhuid’s hand-made artisan 

soaps have Kaolin Clay, which helps to absorb excess oil from 

the skin and prevent breakouts before they begin, while the 

jasmine-scented bombs create a foaming and fizzing effect 

that softens the water and nourish your skin. 

From R66 from home.co.za 

NYR#2 

Make 

bath time 

special. Start 

the day with an 

invigorating shower, 

end it with a leisurely 

bath. Have you popped 

into a Jet store lately? 

Many of the stores 

(with more following 

regularly) have 

launched Jet Home, 

where you’ll find the 

softest towels in the 

bathroom section ... 

good quality, and jolly 

affordable prices, too. 

NYR#3 Stay fit. Be it an early morning 

pre-work run, a lunchtime brisk walk or 

an afternoon run with the dogs, this year 

we are going to keep fit. Loving these

running mate. Jog over

Magazines) where

tolerant. And take care 

of our skin. One in

Soothing Recovery 

Balm for dry skin. 

You’ll find the range 

at dermastore.co.za 

from R279 to R369 


NYR#5 Get enough sleep 

We know it’s important. So 

we’re going to take our sleep 

seriously. At the same time, 

we’re all about stylish, feminine, 

comfy sleepwear, made from 

natural, breathable fabrics.

For the filling -1 cup thick vanilla yoghurt, half a cubed mango 

Method: Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Spray round foil cups (size about 7x3cm) 

with a non-stick spray and set aside. Mix the oats, seeds, cinnamon, vanilla, honey, 

and egg white in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Divide the mixture 

between the prepared cups and firmly press the mixture down and towards the 

sides to evenly coat the sides and bottoms. Bake until lightly golden, for about 

15 minutes. Use a teaspoon to press the bottom and sides down once again 

and continue to bake for an extra 10 minutes. Leave to cool completely before 

removing from the cups. 

Spoon the yoghurt into the cooled cases and top with the mango cubes. 

The cups can be stored in an airtight container for later use – but be sure to use 

them within a week.

Mango, yoghurt, honey and nut breakfast pot 

Serves 4; Prep time: 5 minutes 

You’ll need: 300ml tub thick mango yoghurt (or plain yoghurt), 240g 

crunchy granola with a pinch of ground cinnamon, ½ ripe mango 

(diced), 60g sliced almonds, toasted 

Method: Alternate the yoghurt, granola, and mango in layers in four 

serving bowls or pots, top with the almonds and serve immediately.

The missing ingredient 

South Africa’s celebrated All Sorts Cook and bestie in the kitchen, 

Chantal Lascaris shares her secrets on quick-fix substitute ingredients – 

and the one (maybe two) ingredients you can never ever replace. 

“I once made a delicious butter chicken recipe 

for a group of friends and left out the rice - by 

accident. You can imagine my horror! Don’t 

judge. It happens. Even the most experienced of 

us in the kitchen can trip up – and that’s okay.” 

Cooking, for Chantal Lascaris, has always 

been about experimenting with flavours and 

different ingredients, and, she says, most 

importantly cutting yourself some slack when 

you get it wrong. 

“As a professional cook, the aim of course is 

to not get it wrong as best as you can and so 

I’ve learnt over the years how to switch things 

up. You may not always have the correct 

ingredients in your cupboard – or you may 

over spice or under spice a pot of food (or, 

hey, leave out the other half of your meal 

altogether!). When this happens, we tend to 

believe there is no way out. Oh, but there is. 

There always is. 

“Believe it or not the cooking process comes 

with forgiveness. They’re called Substitutes 

– and they work. Just when you think you’re 

doomed to fail because you’re missing an 

ingredient that the recipe calls for, think again. 

Most often, you’ll be able to replace a missing 

ingredient in the pot with a little something 

else that’ll do just as well. 

“Parsley. Lime. Walnuts. Even Sumac. They’re all 

replaceable. Except garlic. Garlic and – wait for 

it – love. In my book, these royal two are THE 

only ingredients you can never replace. You’ll 

always - always -) need an extra stash of these 

lying around, because they matter more than 

you think. Firstly, garlic is not only the king of 

flavour but its immune boosting properties 

are essential to our health. And secondly, love 

is the queen of everything.” 

Our lives, says Chantal, are incredibly 

frenetic. And with a million things to attend 

to and business as usual, we hardly have 

time anymore to think of dinner or to shop 

ingredients. So it’s comforting to know that 

more often than not, when there’s something 

missing in your bag of tricks, there’s always 

another chef’s trick you can reach for. 

Chantal’s quick-fix substitutes for missing ingredients

Smoked salmon and citrus salad 

This unusual pairing of salty smoked salmon 

and sweet orange makes for a delectable 

flavour combination. The punchy rocket is the 

perfect foil for the citrusy dressing. Not to be 

outdone, there’s the zing of the radish, the 

coolness of the cucumber and the creamy 

avocado, all brought together to create a salad 

packed full of sunshine flavours. 

You’ll need: 2 cups rocket, 2⁄3 cup thinly sliced 

fennel bulb, 10cm diced cucumber, 1 sliced 

avocado, half a cup thinly sliced radish, 200g 

smoked salmon ribbons, one segmented 

orange. For the dressing: Quarter of a cup 

orange juice, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp 

Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, and salt and 

pepper to taste 

To make: Place half the rocket on a platter 

and scatter over half the fennel, cucumber, 

avocado and radish. Add the remaining rocket 

and top with the remaining fennel, cucumber, 

avocado and radish. Drape the smoked salmon 

ribbons over the top and tuck the orange 

segments in between. Whisk the dressing 

ingredients and pour over the salad. 

A twist on the classics. 

This grilled peach split 

is perfect for sharing. 

You’ll find the recipe on 

getitmagazines.co.za 

In her latest release, The Ultimate Salad Book, Chantal brings 

together her passion for healthy living and an invigorating 

variety of flavours, resulting in a collection of recipes that will 

have you upping your salad game in no time. Besides being 

delicious, and really achievable for even nervous cooks, salads 

(if eaten daily) add a huge boost to your body’s daily nutrient 

consumption. This month we’re loving the smoked salmon and 

citrus salad ... but plan on trying loads from the collection - there 

are basic, vegetarian and three-ingredient salads, as well as those 

highlighting fish and seafood (why not try the sweet and sour 

oyster salad for two, this Valentine’s Day?), poultry and meat, 

fruity options (the grilled peach split is just made for sharing), 

and a good selection of dressings, too. Struik Lifestyle, around

We will, this year, be celebrating 

more than just new beginnings. 

We’re also celebrating a 

newfound appreciation for our 

wellbeing and an opportunity to 

create positive transformation. 

What better way to feel restored and reset than by 

looking to the healing properties of nature? 

That’s the reasoning behind Plascon’s 2022 

Colour Combination of the Year, featuring earthy 

Africa-inspired hues. 

Plus, they say, just as in nature, colours come to 

life in harmony. Which is why this year, Plascon 

has given us not just one colour, but has brought 

together three beautiful hues in a combination to 

capture the mood of the year. These colours pay 

homage to the natural African landscape outside 

of our homes while bringing the simple pleasures 

of nature inside. 

The colour combination works in a 60:30:10 ratio, 

a ratio which aligns with best design practices 

that the industry utilises, and a great idea for you 

to keep in mind when decorating. The basics 

are ... 60 per cent of a space should consist of a 

dominant colour, 30 per cent a secondary colour, 

and 10 per cent an accent colour. 

This year the hero - or dominant - colour 

representing 60 per cent of the ratio is Plascon 

Pear Fantasy (Y5-B2-1). This soft yellow-green 

makes for a modern, neutral shade while being 

comfortingly familiar. Capturing the soothing 

charm of a sandy shore at sunrise, this shade 

instantly puts our minds at ease and enlivens 

our spaces. 

Then 30 per cent of the colour combo ratio is 

Plascon Desert Water (B5-B2-2) - a calming and 

uplifting pale blue hue with an illuminating touch 

of purple. Inspired by the sunlit surface of tranquil 

water, this shade is subtle yet impactful, perfectly 

complementing the neutral Pear Fantasy. Lighter 

blue shades are associated with health, healing, 

tranquillity, and softness. 

Rounding off the ratio, Plascon Zanzibar (70) makes 

up the final 10 per cent. Described as a soft yet 

grounded colour, there’s a quiet warmth to this 

gentle smoky brown that brings an anchoring 

balance to lighter, cleaner hues. Capturing the 

fresh soil and majestic tree trunks of an early 

morning trail, this colour brilliantly accentuates 

the other two shades. 

Adding to the appeal is the local reflection of this 

combination. Very often, trends that filter down 

to us from Europe or the USA don’t really work in 

an African reality. But these colours - and even the 

names - have been chosen to reflect a specifically 

African context ... colours that reflect the way we 

live here, and that are created with Africa in mind.

Set the tone for the 

new year with this 

year’s colour palette,

and balance.

Pure aromatherapy 

Staying with the theme of bringing calm and balance into our 

lives, we’re loving our Organic Aromas Nebulizing Diffuser for 

Aromatherapy. This Raindrop Light is so gorgeous ... it’s refined 

and elegant, with a handmade wood base and custom-blown 

glass diffuser. So it sits jolly prettily alongside our home decor 

pieces. No plastic here. No water or heat, either, which is another 

reason why we’re so keen. It uses only essential oils - and talking 

oils, the team at Organic Aromas guarantee these really are ‘pure 

organic oils’, and have the testing stats to back up their promise. 

They’re certainly potent ... we tested the diffuser in an open plan 

area and the scent wafted from one room to the next beautifully. 

The diffuser has a switch allowing you to control how much 

oil you want to release, and works on a two-minutes-on, oneminute-off 

basis, turning off completely after two hours. There 

is rotating rainbow LED mood lighting ... if you’re not a fan and 

prefer no glow, it has an easy-to-turn-off function. There are five 

equally attractive designs to choose from, and a dozen essential 

oils, and there are great kits, too. Diffusers R1650, oils from R185,

Let the romance 

BLOSSOM 

A sweet and tender superfood that is easy to grow. Exotic 

candy-coloured pink plants that make the ideal romantic 

gift. And Dianthus ‘I Love You’ for Valentine’s Day. 

Garden tasks 

• Water early morning or late 

afternoon to help plants stand up to 

the heat. • Keep the soil cool by mulching 

around plants and put shade cloth over veggie 

beds. • Use biological or organic controls for 

pests like aphids, white fly and mealie bug that 

suck the sap out of stems and leaves. • Don’t cut 

back or prune plants during very hot periods. 

Leaves act as a cooling system for plants. • 

Water container plants and hanging baskets 

every day, even twice a day on very hot 

days. • Mow the lawn longer to shade 

the roots. This makes it more 

drought tolerant. 

Indoor plant for February 

This is the month when indoor flowering plants come into their own as 

romantic gift plants. One of the most exotic, and unusual, is Curcuma, also 

known as the Siamese tulip. It has candy-coloured pink of purple pinecone 

shaped flowers that rise about lush green leaves. Being a tropical 

plant, it loves warm, summer temperatures. As a patio plant it can take 

some dappled sun or early morning sun, and as an indoor plant does best 

with bright, diffused light. Let the soil slightly dry out before watering 

and add a little liquid plant food to the water once every two weeks. It 

produces two to five new flowers, each lasting about three weeks. In winter 

it goes dormant, and the leaves die down. Stop watering and keep the pot 

in a cool place. In spring bring it out onto warm windowsill, water, and feed 

for a new flush of flowers. Details: lvgplant.co.za 


Veggie of the month 

Did you know that turnips are 

a superfood? They are loaded 

with vitamins and minerals as 

well as omega-3 fatty acids 

and protein. Here’s something 

else you may not know. 

They’re delicious mashed (as 

a substitute for potatoes) or 

shredded raw as a coleslaw. 

Turnips grow easily from seed, 

and if you don’t have space sow 

a row in a deep trough. They 

don’t take up as much space 

as other brassicas. Use potting 

soil enriched with compost 

and sprinkle the seeds on the 

surface. Cover with a light layer 

of potting mix or sieved coffee 

grounds, that adds nitrogen 

and discourage slugs. Turnips 

like moist soil from germination 

to harvest. Thin out seedlings to 

10cm apart and start harvesting 

from 40 days onwards. The 

smaller the turnips the sweeter 

they are, and the leaves can be 

eaten as greens. 

Kirchhoffs Turnip Early Purple Top 

Globe is an heirloom variety. It has a 

purple shoulder with a white body. 

The flesh is sweet and tender, and is 

good for harvesting young as baby 

veg. Details: kirchhoffs.co.za 

We’re planting…. Dianthus I 

Love You for Valentine’s Day. 

It’s like a delicate posy, with 

frilled double flowers that 

change from deep pink, to light 

pink and finally white. Plants 

are compact and perfect for 

popping into a pot, along with 

chocolates and champagne 

(why not!). It’s happy to be 

planted out into the garden, in 

soil that drains well and where 

it gets plenty of sun. It will keep 

on flowering if fertilised once a 

month. Just cut back the spent 

flowers and it will flower again 

in three to four weeks.

Teen reads 

Looking for the best young adult books for the 

teens in your life? We’ve got you covered. 

Complied by: RIALIEN FURSTENBERG 

Evie is disillusioned about love ever since her dad left her mum for another 

woman. When she’s given a copy of a book called Instructions for Dancing and 

follows a note inside to a dilapidated dance studio, she discovers she has a 

strange and unwelcome gift. When a couple kisses in front of her, she can see 

their whole relationship play out - from the moment they first catch each other’s 

eye to the last bitter moments of their break-up. At the dance studio, she meets 

X - tall, dreadlocked, fascinating - and they start to learn to dance, together. Can 

X help break the spell that Evie is under? Can he change Evie’s mind about love? 

Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon. R190. • Ivy, Mateo, and Cal used to be 

close - best friends back in middle school. So, when Cal pulls into campus late 

for class and runs into Ivy and Mateo, they decide to ditch school. Just like old 

times. But they’re not the only ones skipping school that day. When the trio spots 

classmate Brian Mahoney acting suspiciously downtown they follow him into an 

empty building and walk into a murder scene. Brian’s not the only one keeping 

secrets, and when their day of freedom turns deadly it’s only a matter of time 

before the truth comes out. You’ll Be the Death of Me by Karen McManus R190. 

For Hawk, being a hero weighs heavily on her wings. In the City of the 

Dead, life happens in the shadows. That’s why war is brewing against an 

enemy no one can see. Hawk and Maximum Ride never back down from 

a conflict, or from each other, and they argue more than they agree. But 

as the dead begin to outnumber the living, a mother’s experience and a 

daughter’s instinct can make one powerful arsenal. Hawk 02: City of the 

Dead - A Maximum Ride Novel by James Patterson. R240.

WaYs TO LUre YOUr 

7Teen BaCK TO BOOKs 

Parents know how to inspire a love of books in babies and toddlers ... Just put them on 

your lap, and start reading. But as kids get older and go to school, reading can be seen 

as work rather than fun - and kids, especially teens, may stop reading for pleasure. 

Here are nine ways to get 

teens reading, either again 

or for the first time: 

FIND THE ‘WHY’ IN YA - YA (young 

adult) novels tackle the edgy 

issues teens face and struggle with, 

from peer pressure and romantic 

longing to grief and trouble 

at home or school. Whether they’re 

personally grappling with these issues or 

seeking vicarious thrills, teens gravitate 

toward subject matter that’s relatable. 

Check the YA bestseller lists for ideas. 

GET GRAPHIC - Gone are the 

days when graphic novels were 

dismissed as comic books. Now 

recognised as literature, they may 

be the key to getting some teens 

hooked on books. They’re available in a 

wide range of genres – from adventure 

and fantasy to historical fiction, memoir 

and biography – so there’s certainly a 

graphic novel out there to suit your 

teen’s taste. 

LURE THEM WITH ADULT 

BOOKS Find non-fiction titles 

on subjects your teen is curious 

about, such as climate change, 

race, political corruption or 

true crime. Check adult non-fiction 

bestseller lists to see what’s catching 

fire. Humorous adult books also work 

(by David Sedaris or Tina Fey, for 

example), as do horror (Stephen King), 

mysteries (Agatha Christie), thrillers 

(James Patterson, John Grisham), fantasy 

(George R.R. Martin), science fiction (Isaac 

Asimov), and sports (Michael Lewis). 

4GIVE THE 

GIFT OF 

READING 

Hand your 

teen a 

gift card 

from your local 

bookstore. They’ll 

discover the 

treasure-hunt fun 

of looking for a 

good book. 

5MERGE MOVIES WITH BOOKS - Hollywood is turning to teen lit for 

ideas more than ever. Offer your teen the print version to read before or 

after a big film adaptation comes out, and talk about the similarities and 

differences between the two. 

TRY POETRY - Novels in verse are a popular trend. All that white space on 

the page makes them easy to read, and the spare, lyrical approach can 

really pack a punch. Try Sarah Crossan’s One, Stasia Ward Kehoe’s The 

Sound of Letting Go, or Ellen Hopkins’ Rumble. Memoirs in verse are 

taking hold, too; check out Marilyn Nelson’s How I Discovered Poetry. 

LET THEM LISTEN - Spark teens’ interest by getting an audio book to 

listen to on the way to school or on long drives. Let them download 

audiobooks to their smartphones. (They won’t risk looking uncool, 

because they’ll be under headphones or have their earbuds in.)

BUSH SAFARI 

xxxxx 

Sleep-outs. Boma dinners. Sunset drives. The romance of a safari. 

We’re suggesting a Jock Safari Lodge getaway this February. 

https://twitter.com/JockSafari 

https://www.instagram.com/jocksafari/ 

xxxxx 

Honestly. Is there anything more romantic than a 

bush jaunt? We think not. And this month’s lodge 

won over our hearts instantly. 

There’s the romantic background ... Jock Safari 

Lodge was founded by the descendants of the 

author Sir Percy FitzPatrick, and is named after his 

book, Jock of the Bushveld, the famous and muchloved 

story, set during South Africa’s first gold rush 

era, of canine hero Jock’s courage and loyalty. 

Steeped in history, it’s tucked away in the southwestern 

corner of the Kruger National Park, where 

the Mitomeni (Shangaan for ‘Jackalberry Tree’) and 

Biyamiti (Shangaan for ‘Place of many Trees’) rivers 

meet. It was the first private concession granted 

within our largest national park, and has 6000 

hectares of exclusive traversing rights ... so right 

up there with the best for animal viewing. And 

the bush was just teeming with animals when we 

visited. The Big Five showed their famous faces on 

the very first sunset drive - and there’d obvs been a 

lot of romance - or good old-fashioned lust - going 

on as there were babes every which way we looked, 

including a dozen lion cubs between three mums, 

and half a dozen or so newly born ellies, tripping 

over their feet and slapping each other with their 

out-of-control trunks. 

Talking babes, another reason this lodge won us 

over is because it allows - it welcomes! - children, 

who have their own Kids on Safari programme. 

Back to romance ... the lodge is all old-school safari 

These are the social media links - we will appreciate you - vintage-style furniture, leather travel trunks, 

spreading the word as far and wide as possible, prior, during wooden decks with comfy chairs and an elevated 

and after your stay, also tagging @FiveStarPRZA (Instagram bar and lounge with a fire pit and river view. 

and Twitter) in your social media posts please. 

Our hearts did a little flutter when we were shown 

the suites, too. Just 12 of them, each with an 

Jock Safari Lodge 

outdoor Victorian bath and shower, a private plunge 

pool and an enclosed sala day bed, where you can 

Reservations: 013 010 0019 

laze away your days watching the ellies pass by, or 

Belinda Strauss - Lodge Operations Manager: 060 603 0866 

ask, as we did, for the beds to be made up and have 

a sleep-out. Sweet, sweet dreams.
