In anticipation of The Little Hedonist ‘s 1st birthday on the 21st of April, I’ve teamed up with my good friends at Merriment & Co and Fair Cape Dairies to help celebrate this awesome milestone! What you can win: * 1 of 2 bottles of […]
Ever since I’ve been a little girl, I’d often walk the beach with my head bent low, toes kicking up the surf, scouring the shore for that illusive message-in-a-bottle I’d read about in my bedtime stories. Something meaningful, sent out into the world for someone […]
To me, the perfect Cape Town restaurant should have exclusive and uninterrupted views of our incredibly beautiful piece of the continent. It should have innovative and stunning dishes showcasing our local produce. It should have a relaxed, yet playful atmosphere, as us Capetonians like to […]

When a very dear and close friend wanted to meet up for a long overdue brunch, I was so happy that I could finally pull Brass Bell out of my box of magic tricks. This iconic Kalk Bay institution has literally been on my road […]
Amilinda is an epitome of all things gloriously hedonistic. When she’s not behind her desk, she abundantly indulges in this fragile adventure we call life by tasting, exploring, photographing, writing, pondering and wandering her way through Cape Town. She’s a professional traveller with more than 50 long-haul flights behind her name and the passport to prove it. She adores luxuriously lazy beach holidays, food festivals, animals, folksy music, pizza and wine weekends, veggie gardens and her trusty Nikon D750 camera kit. Oh, and macarons. She’s super passionate about those.
