Shopping time! Kitchen gadgets we love this month

 1. So refreshing! Carmien Sparkling Rooibos Ice Tea (R35 each, carmientea.co.za) is low in calories, high in antioxidants and available in Berry Hibiscus, Tangerine Grapefruit and Geranium Mint.

 2. A match made in heaven. Harvest Table (R750, Quivertree Publications) takes the reader on a culinary journey through the winelands of France, Sicily, Spain and South Africa as told by the Oddo family and their winemaking partners. The resulting smorgasbord of recipes ranges from easy to inventive and includes a traditional French bouillabaisse (seafood and saffron stew), deep-fried white anchovy and sage fritters from Italy, leaf masala seafood potjie from South Africa, and Spanish tortillas.
