The Jan/Feb issue has landed!

If you’re one of the urban South Africans who eats 12 kg of tomatoes per year, you really should be branching out from the standard varieties. Come on, now. The global trend towards eating “heirloom” varieties of vegetables and fruit (produce that is naturally pollinated from seeds handed down by generations) is catching on locally.

The benefits? Varied flavours, textures shapes and colours that are all at their best eaten raw, obvs.

Nothing says summer like Abi’s mixed platter of ripe Woolies tomatoes with white-flesh nectarines, fior di latte mozzarella torn into chunks and simply dressed with extra vrigin olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped Italian parsley, lime zest and smoked Maldon salt.

We love it so much it made the cover.
