La Storia fans were sad to see La Storia close it's doors at the end of May but the good news is that Lupa will open in the same premises at the end of July and things are looking really good. We wish them all the very best of luck!

OK 9 days to go before I hand over to Lupa. No nostalgia I don't get attached to work spaces. However very excited about Spain and my visit to the black pig (Patta Negra) ham plant. These are my 2 year cured Patta Bianco's. Legs of suckling pig selling at R650.00 each.
Only 3 left, still have a 3 legged pig fattening on the farm.

Hello

Well its been a great ride and eventually I have decided to hang up my pots and do only DAY Work. I have sold to LUPA who will be opening in August 2014 after extensive renovations.
IN THE MEAN TIME

Persimmon, prawn and baby green salad with a roasted lemon vinaigrette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the menu today.

MY NEXT THING
I will still be sticking to my knitting and making Charcuterie for the trade and public which you will be able to order through my web site. I will have a link from la storia site to my new sight. Look out for BLACK PIG. We will be up and trading in about 3 months time.
First off to Spain to learn some new recipes.
