The May 2012 issue of TASTE

The May boasts something unique in South African magazine covers - the beautiful scent of one of our most beloved spices. It's just a 'taste' of the richness that lies inside. Take a look...


FROM THE EDITOR

Warm chocolate beignets in cinnamon sugar

This issue is all about firsts:

  • This is our first fragrant cover. Just in time for colder days, we're treating you to a TASTE that smells of cinnamon. Tell us what and you could win a copy of Reza's Indian Spice by Reza Mahammad. Send your best guess to win@tastemag.co.za
     
  • It's the first time Vanie Padayachee cooks just for us. Read and make her adaptation of her mom's curry recipe for Mother's Day.
     
  • It's the first time you'll get a sneak peak at Karen Dudley's cookbook A Week in the Kitchen (you can win a copy, see below). Her Woodstock eatery is a creative hub where everyone from locals to Michelle Obama come to feed appetite and imagination.
     
  • For the first time, we catch up with former Woolworths Good Food Ambassador David Grier on one of his epic charitible journeys. Earlier this year David ran the length of India and we met him in Mumbai. 
     
  • This is the first time we include prices per serving on our weekday meal recipes- we hope this makes budgeting and planning easier.
     
  • And, in another first, we give you an exclusive look inside the fantastic new tasting room at the magnifcent Babylonstoren estate.
     
  • And here's a first we're super proud of, the launch of Woolworths' Nicolway store in Bryanston - the biggest Woolworths food market in the country! Exciting stuff. 
     
  • Finally, TASTEmag.co.za is available in a mobile-friendly version on your cell phone!

This is not a first, but it's a close second. We're starting to put our second readers' issue together and we'd love you to be a part. Visit our readers' issue page for all the ways you can contribute.
