A toast to the weekend

Winter snuggly times equal good eating times in my books and this weekend doesn't disappoint in that regard. The ever-popular Good Food and Wine Show opens its doors at the Ticketpro Dome in Joburg today, while chocolate lovers can indulge at the Winelands Chocolate Festival at Lourensford Wine Estate this Saturday and Sunday. In other foodie news Lauren Hartzenberg takes a tour of all things fine at the annual launch of Societi Bistro's Culinary Tour Through France.

We've got tickets up for grabs for David Kau Live at Parker's at Parker's Comedy Club, Montecasino and to the Wedding Expo in Durban!

Have a delicious weekend!
