David Higgs made his bones in the local dining scene in the mid- to late-‘naughties' when he helmed the multi-award winning Rust en Vrede restaurant in the Western Cape Winelands. Then he packed up and went to Jo'burg and chatter around this lively, entertaining and gifted chef got a bit quiet for a while. Then the buzz started about The Saxon's kitchen and he was in the awards lists again. In 2016, along with partner Gary Kyriacou, David opened Marble restaurant in Rosebank with its impressive wood-fired grill. It was all about live-fire cooking and a hell of a vibe - the toast of Johannesburg. Now he's opened Marble Cape Town.

I've been following Di Bibby on Insta since some time in 2017. Her 'Cake Friday' segment is a particular favourite, and I would sometimes dip into her blog 'Bibby's Kitchen' for inspiration when I was still shooting food. On a recent trip to the 'Mother City' to launch her latest book, Di very kindly agreed to sit down and record an episode for A Table in the Corner with me. Behind the simplicity, practicality and adventurousness of her cooking, I found a wonderfully grounded personality who will just as happily share a fabulous recipe with you or a sharp insight about life. Self taught in every aspect of her blog - from cooking and baking, to photography, styling and writing - Di is well-travelled, clever, wise and really engaging company.

Food tours are a great way to discover the pulse of a city when you travel. That's how Rupesh Kassen has always immersed himself in the cities he's travelled to. So when he moved to Cape Town and started exploring the food and culture of the 'Mother City', it seemed an obvious gap in the local tourism market that he could step into. With a background as a chef and a long stint in the corporate finance world, he thought it was time for (another) career change, so he started Eat Like A Local. It's a food tour that introduces tourists - both foreign and domestic - to his new home.
