What's cooking good looking?

We bring you a mixed platter of tasty treats this terrific Thursday: Sindy Peters waxes poetic on the recent flamjangled Tea Party Festival, Leigh Andrews interviews David Sabel, executive producer of the National Theatre of Great Britain about live theatre filmed for the big screen, and we give you the low-down on what to expect at this weekend's Taste of Cape Town.

Have a delicious weekend!
