Foodie Fair – ECR House & Garden Show 2017

Published

on

East Coast Radio House & Garden Show raises the curtain on this year’s Golden Delight Celebrity Chef’s Theatre.

Could there be anything more torturous than an empty stomach? Well, visitors to the ECR House & Garden Show need not fear, because the Golden Delight Celebrity Chef’s Theatre is set to deliver hours of culinary inspiration and entertainment.

Visitors can expect to see in action crowd favourite Sherwyn Weaich – the Gourmet Bushie – who takes to the stage for the fourth time this year.

Keeping it in the family with two pairs of scrumptious sisters: you’ll get to follow the food journey of Rebecca and Kate Lund – The Delish Sisters – from Durban food stall to their very own restaurant.

Or thrill to the tongue-tingling halaal fusion food of Zainab and Faatimah Paruk, owners of Chilli Chocolate Chefs.

You’ll get to find out just what it takes to earn a Michelin Star with chef extraordinaire Johannes Richter, and you’ll get to educate your inner oenophile with the Laurie Smorthwaite of the KZN School of Wine, who will wax lyrical about old and new wines, and the secrets of pairing.

All of this plays out on a stage decked out with lavish large appliances from Grundig.

Hungry for more? The brand new Foodie Fair at the Show will round off your experience, to make sure you banish anguish from your tummy for life.

The East Coast Radio House & Garden Show, themed ‘Refresh your space inside and out’, is on from 30 June – 9 July at the Durban Exhibition Centre. Tickets from R60-R85, under-12s free, available from iTickets. housegardenshow.co.za

Field Notes (an exhibition): 1 – 17 November 2024

Field Notes (an exhibition)
Presented by Contemporary Archive Project
Opening: 1 November 2024 at 6 PM
Venue: The Chairman, Durban.


In the province of KwaZulu-Natal, stories are marked like pins scattered across a map. These pins cluster in the city of eThekwini or are more sparsely spread through the landscapes of Nquthu, Tugela, and Amaotana. By mapping out and noting where the photographs were made, the explorers’ tracks reveal a wide, eclectic range of stories, each reflecting individual narratives. In these collections, the photographers are the explorers of their own stories, presenting clips and field notes that present an Insider’s view.

Subverting old tropes of Outsiders looking in, disconnected from a culture or space, the photographs that make this exhibition present intimate representations of faith and religion, culture and rituals, life and death, solitude and community. The collective way of seeing a city and space are all informed by each photographer’s way of seeing.
In this gathering, we present moments from each photographer’s archive. Guided by the visual connections of the photographs, the exhibition’s content invites you to reflect on the themes of fragility, power, togetherness, and the significance of the spaces we call home.

The group exhibition features work from CAP’s archive, inclusive of:
Andile Ndunge, Andre Swart, Mandisa Buthelezi, Myllo Menorah, Niamh Walsh-Vorster, Paulo Menezes, Robyn Perros, Seraz Abrahams, Sibusiso Gcaba, and Thobani Khumalo.
This exhibition is made possible by the National Lotteries Commission.

REVIEW: Sunsets & Mermaids, Umhlanga

Published

Unwind with Great Food and Vibes at Sunsets and Mermaids

Sunsets and Mermaids Restaurant and Bar in Umhlanga, Durban, is an experience you won’t want to miss. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a complimentary serving of olives stuffed with feta, a delightful mini starter that set the tone for what was to come.

We began with their unique sushi, featuring a delectable combination of prawn and salmon, paired with chicken dumplings that came with a choice of sauces. The hot sauce packed a punch, while the mild sauce offered a gentle, flavorful alternative—both enhanced the dishes perfectly. We paired our meal with expertly crafted cocktails: an Old Fashioned and a Margarita, each complementing the flavors of our food beautifully.

For lunch, we opted for their chicken and beef burgers, each topped with a homemade sauce that added a unique twist. The crispy onion rings and Lay-like chips were a perfect accompaniment, making for a satisfying and delicious meal.

What really stood out was the impeccable service. Not only were the staff attentive and friendly, but the chef personally came to our table to check if the food was to our liking and even offered some great recommendations. The atmosphere was electric, with the upbeat Durban music vibes adding to the overall experience.

Sunset and Mermaids is more than just a bar; it’s a culinary destination with a diverse menu that spans sushi, burgers, and even pizzas. Their Tuesday quiz nights and Wednesday Ladies Night add an extra layer of fun to the week. The place is such a vibe that even the Irish Rugby team made an appearance after their game against the Springboks!

We’re already planning our next visit and highly recommend that you give it a try too.
Sunsets and Mermaids is a must-visit spot in Umhlanga!
