A trio of terrific reads for November 

The long-awaited sequel 

to The Handmaid’s Tale 

In The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret 

Atwood envisioned a world in which 

the US had become Gilead, a totalitarian 

world ruled by Commanders 

in which women were totally subservient. 

Told by one handmaid, Offred, 

it describes how women are forbidden 

to learn to read or write and are 

solely there to serve men in all ways, 

including sexually. The sequel, The 

Testaments, is set 15 years later and 

is told by three women – Aunt Lydia, 

a trainer and manager of handmaids, 

and two of Offred’s daughters, 

Agnes, who became the privileged 

child of an elite family, and Nicola, 

who was smuggled out to Canada. 

Resistance is growing in Gilead and 

Lydia is plotting its downfall ... At a 

time when women are increasingly 

protesting against femicide, rape, 

unequal pay and often worse injustices 

at the hands of men, this book 

hits an extremely sensitive nerve. 

Chatto & Windus, R360. 

Secrets. Affairs. Revenge. 

It’s all going on in the 

suburbs ... where everyone 

has something to hide 

Shari Lapena’s Someone We Know 

is set in a small suburb, where 

everyone is polite and friendly and 

neighbourly. When newcomers arrive 

in town – a handsome man and 

his extraordinarily attractive wife – 

the main conversation appears to be 

how much of a flirt she is with the 

men in the area. Then she’s found 

murdered, and more than one man 

is ‘a person of interest’ to the police. 

At the same time, a family’s teenage 

son has been breaking into some 

of the houses ... not to steal, but to 

practise his fairly impressive computer 

hacking skills. With secrets and 

affairs and revenge, Lapena keeps 

you guessing until the very end. 

Penguin, R290. 

Chosen as one of the best 

thrillers of summer, this 

legal thriller is exceptional 

They were a perfectly ordinary family. 

Interesting jobs. Yoga, basketball 

and trips to the library. Takeout on 

Fridays in front of the telly and a 

bottle of wine with their friends. 

Until the murder. Chosen as one 

of the best thrillers of the summer 

by the New York Times, A Nearly 

Normal Family is M. T. Edvardsson’s 

psychological, legal thriller that asks 

what would you do if your daughter 

was suspected of murder? How far 

would you go to protect her? Would 

you believe her, or the evidence 

against her? The father believes 

his daughter has been framed. The 

mother believes she’s hiding something. 

And the daughter believes 

they have no idea what she’s truly 

capable of. Could. Not. Put it down! 

Brilliant. Macmillan, R299.

We’re fans of a semi-sweet wine … it’s gorgeous chilled, 

topped with soda and served with ice on a warm evening, it’s a 

classic match with rich liver pate or parfait, and is brilliant with 

desserts … think cheesecake or crème caramel, an apricot tart 

or glazed fruit pavlova. The just-released Skyline Late Harvest 

(named for SA’s great cityscapes) is a delicious option … all 

smooth honey and fruit, it’s full-bodied and rich and made from 

Chenin Blanc grapes harvested late in season, when natural 

sugars are concentrated in the fruit, so has no added sugar. 

Around R49,99 a bottle, and R134.99 for the convenient threelitre 

bag-in-a-box. Fancy winning a sweet prize? We’ve got a 

Skyline hamper to give away … half a dozen bottles of Skyline 

and a pair of sunnies in an eye-catching shopping bag.

Well, here’s a lovely recipe you could try during the festive holidays 

Orange Lollies 

(Makes 4 x 85ml ice lollies) 

Juice of 5 - 6 large oranges (roughly 500ml); a squeeze of fresh lime juice 

(Note: You will need 4 x 85ml ice lolly moulds and flat lolly sticks) 

Mix the fresh orange juice with the squeeze of fresh lime juice, tasting 

and adjusting to your liking. Pour into lolly moulds until each one is 3/4 

full. Place moulds upright in the freezer for about an hour before poking 

sticks into each mould. Freeze for a further three hours or preferably 

overnight. Remove moulds from freezer and briefly dip them into hot 

water, then gently pull lollies out of the moulds and serve immediately.

Go-getter 

Beautiful. Optimistic. The ultimate go-getter. Twenty-seven-year-old Schané Venter 

with that Julia Roberts smile has gone from being a shy little girl to a talented 

part-time model and operations and logistics manager. 

ost 

recently the 

Alberton 

beauty, 

Schané was 

announced 

as the 11th 

winner of 

the Sarie 

Cover 

Face competition. Schané first entered 

the competition in 2015, but this 

year she really stood out with judges 

choosing her out of thousands who 

entered countrywide to make the final 

ten. Her life motto “to always try once 

more” led to her entering a second time 

and walking away with the coveted 

October cover. 

Why did you decide to enter the 

competition? 

I’ve known of Sarie magazine since 

I was a little girl. For me there has 

always been a certain grace, elegance 

and aspirational connection linked 

to the magazine. With it being the 

70th birthday of Sarie they reached 

the epitome of hope and inspiration. 

Because I have entered previously it did 

not even cross my mind to enter. When 

a very special friend of mine asked me if 

he may enter me into the competition 

again, I decided to give it another go. He 

literally submitted my entry a few hours 

before the deadline. I am so grateful 

that he believed in me enough to want 

to enter me. Because of his confidence, 

I have been granted this privilege and 

opportunity. 

Has it always been your dream to be 

in the modelling industry? 

To be completely honest, I was a very 

shy child. I can still remember it like 

it was yesterday. Every year when it 

was time for our pre-primary annual 

concerts I would cry from the moment 

they put me on stage until my mom 

or dad fetched me. For some reason I had this huge fright for getting on a stage. I 

think my parents knew they needed to make an attempt to help me overcome my 

stage fright. They enrolled me into a modelling school with the aim to learn selfconfidence 

and to be able to have the courage to stand up in front of people. It was 

the best decision ever as I started developing a real interest in the modelling industry. 

I competed in the in-house modelling competitions and then also started entering 

bigger pageants. I was privileged enough to be a finalist for Miss SA Teen 2007, Miss 

Legs 2007 and few other competitions. The one I am most proud of is being a Top 

eight Miss SA 2016 finalist. 

I have also always enjoyed being in front of the camera. My sister and fiancé, Marion 

always make fun of me. They say when there is a camera pointed at me I always say 

“No, don’t take pictures.”, but saying that with a full pose and smile ready to take that 

picture. 

So yes, the modelling industry has always been appealing to me and I love playing 

model on the side. What I also love about the modelling industry currently is models 

are not pretty faces anymore, they have become some of the world’s most influential 

individuals and activists using this platform to inspire change and to speak up for 

causes they believe in. 

What is your ultimate dream – personal and business? 

My dream is to live a purposeful life and to touch lives in every part of my life 

journey. I dream of having a happy marriage and family one day. 

On the business side I would like to one day start an online clothing store selling 

clothes I have designed. Another dream is to travel more frequently and explore 

the world with my fiancé. The idea would be to have a blog which will showcase 

affordable fashion and style trends from all over the world and share it to my 

Instagram page. 

What is your favourite hobby? 

I love, love, love shopping and visiting different local markets. I am a sucker 

for a sale and will always find a reason to make that purchase. I love wearing 

beautiful clothes and showcasing my own style. I have to admit I have a 

shoe obsession. 

Tell us about the love in your life and the role he plays? 

I am engaged to my best friend. We have been engaged for a year and are 

getting married next year May. Marion is my biggest supporter and he always 

has my best interests at heart. He is the one person I want to spend all my time 

with and the one person I want to share everything with. What I appreciate most 

about him is he supports all of my dreams. He will never hold me back, in fact, he 

encourages me to be brave. 

If you can have one super power, what would it be? 

I would love to have the ability to be at more places at once. To duplicate myself 

if and when I have to. 

What is the key to success? 

The key to ultimate success is to find your passion and to know where you make 

the biggest impact in life. Work hard to invest in your passion. Only then you can 

live a fulfilled life. Success will automatically follow after that.

Festive 

feast 

If ever there was a time to drink, eat and be 

merry, it’s now. And on the menu? A feast of 

baked cheese, glazed ham and chocolate tart. 

Baked cranberry 

Camembert 

You’ll need: 100g frozen cranberries; 

150g Staffords cranberry jelly; 1tsp 

chilli flakes; one 250g wheel of 

Camembert or Brie cheese; 50g 

walnuts; 3 sprigs rosemary 

To make: Preheat oven to 180˚C. In a 

small saucepan combine the frozen 

cranberries, 100g Staffords cranberry 

jelly and chilli flakes. Cook over low 

heat until the cranberries are soft 

and the sauce has thickened slightly, 

about five minutes. Set aside. 

On a baking tray, score the wheel 

of cheese in a 2cm by 2cm pattern. 

In the grooves insert the rosemary 

leaves ... do this evenly throughout 

the wheel. Spread 50g of Staffords 

cranberry jelly evenly over top of the 

wheel. Tie a piece of kitchen twine 

around the outside of the wheel to 

prevent it breaking apart too early. 

Sprinkle the walnuts around the 

wheel. 

Bake for eight to ten minutes or until 

it has become soft in the middle. This 

will vary depending on the age of 

the cheese. Remove from oven and 

place on a serving dish. Spoon over 

some of the cranberry chilli sauce 

and place the rest in a dish to serve 

on the side. Sprinkle with toasted 

walnuts and more fresh rosemary if 

desired. 

Serve immediately with crusty sliced 

bread like sourdough or baguette.

Honey mustard glazed ham 

You’ll need: 3kg leg of ham, trimmed and skin 

removed; 1 cup smooth orange marmalade; 

quarter of a cup Staffords honey; half a 

cup orange juice; 3 Tblsps Staffords Dijon 

mustard; cloves for studding; sage for garnish 

To make: Preheat oven to 180˚C. In a 

saucepan combine the marmalade, honey, 

orange juice and mustard. Cook over low 

heat until the glaze has thickened slightly – 

around five to seven minutes. Set aside but 

do not allow to cool completely. If needed 

reheat over low heat for one to two minutes. 

Score the trimmed leg of ham into a 2cm 

diamond pattern. Push a single clove Into 

the centre of each diamond. Only stud the 

top of the ham, or whichever side you’ll be 

presenting. Place on a rack above a lined 

baking sheet. Generously brush ham with 

glaze and place on the lowest rack of the 

oven. Every 10 min remove the ham from 

the oven, rotate and brush on more glaze. 

Repeat this until ham is golden brown, about 

40 to 60 minutes, depending on the oven. If 

the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely 

place a piece of tinfoil over top. Once cooked, 

remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. 

Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve on a 

large dish (sliced or whole) and garnish with 

fresh sage. 

Chocolate raspberry tart 

You’ll need: Chocolate pastry - 170g cake flour; 50g icing sugar; 

60ml cocoa powder; 2ml salt;100g cold butter, cubed; 1 egg yolk; 

60ml water. Filling - 200g raspberries; 500ml cream; 60g caster 

sugar; 100g Staffords milk choc disks; 150g Staffords dark choc 

disks; 5ml Staffords vanilla extract with seeds; 3 eggs, lightly 

whisked; 10ml cocoa powder, for dusting 

To make: For the chocolate pastry, sift the flour, cocoa powder 

and icing sugar into a mixing bowl and add salt. Add cold butter 

and work into the flour, using your fingertips, until mixture 

resembles breadcrumbs. Beat egg yolk with water, add to the 

flour mixture and mix until dough comes together. Turn out onto 

a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Wrap 

in clingfilm and place in the fridge for 20 minutes. Then roll the 

pastry out on a lightly flour-dusted surface and line a 25cm loosebottomed 

tart tin. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. Preheat oven 

to 190°C. Blind bake the pastry case for 12 – 15 minutes. Remove 

from oven and allow to cool. 

To make the filling, reduce the oven temperature to 160°C. 

Reserve a third of the raspberries for decoration and use 

remainder to line the baked tart case. Place the cream and sugar 

in a pan and gently bring to the boil. Stir until sugar dissolves, 

then remove from heat, add milk choc disks, dark choc disks and 

vanilla extract with seeds and stir until smooth. Allow to cool 

for five minutes, then stir in the eggs. Transfer the tart case to a 

baking sheet and pour chocolate filling over raspberries. Bake 

the tart for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is cooked but still 

slightly wobbly in the middle. Allow to cool at room temperature 

until set. Decorate with remaining raspberries and a dusting of 

cocoa powder round the edges.

Festive cooking – hells bells, any cooking – is easier (and tastier) when you use the condiments, baking and specialty 

products from the Staffords range. From baking to braaiing, going fancy or keeping it simple, there’s a Staffords product 

that will add a little extra punch. You’ll find them at your local supermarket.

Dessert 

Cinnamon sugar holiday tree with 

cinnamon sugar butter cookies 

Brush 'trunk' of the tree and areas not twisted with melted butter and 

sprinkle those areas with Staffords cinnamon sugar. Bake the tree at 220˚C for 

about 20-25 minutes or until the pastry has fully 'puffed' and turned golden 

brown. Once baked, remove from oven and serve with star cookies placed as 

baubles along the branches and top of the tree. 

Ingredients 

For the tree: 

Staffords cinnamon sugar shaker; 

2 rolls store-bought puff pastry 

For the cookies: 

2 cups flour; ½ tsp baking powder; 

½ tsp salt; 170g butter, softened; 

200g sugar; 1 large egg; ½ tsp vanilla; 

Staffords cinnamon sugar shaker 

Preheat oven to 180˚C. 

For the cookies: Whisk together 

flour, baking powder, and salt in a 

small bowl. Beat together butter and 

sugar in a large bowl until pale and 

fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until 

smooth. Add flour mixture and mix 

until just combined. Wrap dough in 

clingwrap and chill in the fridge for 2 

hours. When chilled, roll dough into 

½ cm thick sheet, cut out star-shaped 

cookies and place on a lined and 

greased baking sheet. Brush tops of 

the cookies with melted butter and 

sprinkle generously with Staffords 

cinnamon sugar. Bake cookies at 

180˚C for 12 to 15 minutes or until 

the edges begin to brown. Remove 

from oven and transfer onto a 

cooling rack. 

For the tree: On a lined baking tray 

spread out one roll of puff pastry. 

Generously sprinkle Staffords 

cinnamon sugar in a generally treeshaped 

area. Roll out the second 

piece of puff pastry and place over 

the first piece of puff pastry. Press 

down gently to bond the two pieces. 

Cover with plastic wrap and place in 

fridge for 20 minutes. When pastry is 

chilled return tray to working surface 

(do not remove from the lined tray). 

Cut out tree shape with special 

attention to the trunk, which should 

be wider at the bottom than the 

top. Cut the sides of the tree to form 

branches every 2cm, with a 1cm 

gap between each branch. Remove 

pastry from the 1cm wide gaps to 

allow pastry to expand slightly. Do 

not cut all the way to the top, allow 

2-3cm of flat pastry at the top. Twist 

each branch as many times as you 

can, depending on the length of 

each branch.

Decorate and celebrate 

On the hunt for Christmas table décor ideas? Elsa de Wit, buyer for Grandiflora, 

shared the latest trends and tips to help you plan your Christmas table. 

While we’re still at work, 

it’s hard to think about 

the upcoming Christmas 

holidays, but the truth is 

it is just over eight weeks 

away. “I attended the 

world renowned Frankfurt 

Christmas Expo earlier this 

year to familiarize myself with 

this year’s Christmas trends 

and colours and hot off the 

press…is the colour pink in 

all shades with a touch of 

purple. If these colours won’t 

work I recommend you go 

for the Tiffany look adding a touch of antique gold with 

the mint to give you a warm and classic style. If you feel 

this contemporary style isn’t for you rather choose the 

old, traditional style choosing bottle green, dark reds and 

accessorise with golds and silver and a touch of white. For 

a more formal look and feel – combine your antique gold 

and black.” 

Decorating your tree 

Elsa suggests using a combination of different colours and 

textures with a little of glitter to give you the festive feel. 

Faux birds are also trending this year. For a whimsical style 

you could add fairies and elves. 

If you aren’t sure about your Christmas choices visit 

Grandiflora or their online store www.grandiflora.co.za

Stepping into paradise 

Plants and flowers are an obvious first 

thought when thinking about your 

garden, and it is essential to have an 

idea of the types of flowers and colours 

you’d like to see dotted around this 

space as well as possible areas where 

you can plant trees and shrubs. 

Having mapped out your flora you’ll 

have a better idea of where you want 

to place inviting pathways that lead 

you to explore your garden and soak 

up the beauty and fragrances that will 

linger around every corner. There are 

various paving and stepping stone 

options available to meet a variety of 

tastes. 

Pots and a decorative bridge can be 

used as a focal point adding additional 

charm to the garden. Water features 

are also attractive additions to any garden 

and the soothing sound of water 

falling adds an element of calm to the 

environment. They also attract birds 

to the garden to further enhance the 

outdoor experience. 

We’re planting Salvia ‘Salmia’ for its superb 

show in the garden. This shrubby 

upright perennial salvia produces 

endless spikes of large dark purple, 

pink or orange red blooms that attract 

bees and stand out against the dark 

green leaves. Plants flower from spring 

to autumn and even through winter in 

warmer areas. Growing 60 to 80cm high 

and wide, it is a good filler for beds or as 

a feature in a large container. Plants are 

frost hardy, performing best in full sun 

in fertile well-drained soil. Like all salvia 

it needs moderate watering and the 

soil can dry out between watering. For 

strong growth, cut 

back in spring, fertilise and water well.

Grow 

& bloom 

It is time to dig in, choose and grow these plants. 

Best for patios… imagine having 

deliciously fragrant and pickable Sweet 

basil at your fingertips. Basil ‘Dolce Fresca’ 

is a patio basil that grows perfectly in a pot, 

keeps its compact bushy shape and doesn’t 

get leggy, like garden varieties tend to do. 

Plants grow 30 -36cm high, with a high leaf 

yield. This basil has won horticultural awards 

including the All-American Selections vegetable 

category for its sweet tender leaves 

and ornamental shape. 

Use the leaves for pesto, with pasta and in 

any Mediterranean inspired dish. A great 

patio edible. Info: www.ballstraathof.co.za 

GARDEN TASKS FOR 

NOVEMBER 

• Sow quick growing annuals like alyssum, 

dwarf marigolds, nasturtiums, portulaca, 

and California poppy. 

• Lift and divide irises, water agapanthus 

if the weather is hot and dry and fertilise 

roses, cannas, dahlias and hydrangeas. 

• For heat resistant bedding colour plant 

vinca, Angelonia and bedding salvia in 

sunny beds and begonias in semi-shade. 

• Water outdoor container plants and 

hanging baskets once a day and feed twice 

a month. If the sun is becoming too harsh, 

move containers into a position where 

they receive afternoon shade. 

• November is peak time for pests. Watch 

out for lily borer (black and yellow stripes) 

on your clivia and amaryllis and spray with 

Margaret Roberts Biological Caterpillar 

Insecticide. Protect roses, tomatoes, and 

sweet peppers with Ludwig’s Insect Spray, 

which is organic. 

• Succession sowing of most summer 

vegetables can be continued up until the 

end of this month.

Fly camping ... 

a safari for the adventurous 


GIS1108_032_464788323.indd 32 

2019/10/17 03:12:12 PM

Walking through big five country and sleeping out in the wild 

So you’re looking for somethng a little out of the ordinary. A little more adventurous. 

Something special. And as we so often do (boast, boast), we’ve done the hard work for 

you and found something spectacular for you to experience. An authentic wilderness 

adventure, where you can experience the beauty of the bush on foot and sleep out in 

the wild. A fly camping safari experience is the latest activity offered at Samara Private 

Game Reserve in the Great Karoo – arguably one of the most extraordinary areas of 

South Africa. 

Taking its name from the original safari days when explorers set up camp in big game 

country with little more than a fly sheet protecting them from the elements, Samara’s 

fly camping activity remains true to these origins. 

WIth a maximum of six guests, your adventure begins with a guided bush walk 

through Big Five territory ... fret not ... the rangers are armed and they, and the trackers, 

are hugely experienced. Come dusk, you’ll arrive at your private camp, where your 

tents have already been set up (thank heavens ... imagine having to do that yourself 

after a long day walking in the bush!), and the fire ready to be lit. You’ll have (massively 

welcome, we’re sure) sundowners followed by a traditional South African braai – think 

boerewors, roosterbrood and grilled pineapple – cooked by the ranger and tracker 

team. You’ll spend the evening sitting round the campfire, sharing safari stories and 

listening to the nightly chorus of jackals, nightingales and the occasional lion roar, 

before retreating to bed. The next morning, you can continue your walk or drive back 

to the lodge. 

This fly camping safari is only available from October to May (excluding December 15 

to January 10) and is limited to guests who’ve booked a minimum three-night stay 

in one of Samara’s lodges. A R7 000 a night camping surcharge applies, although this 

charge is included in the cost if guests book a five-night conservation package. Prices 

include the services of a fully armed ranger and tracker. You do need to be 16 or older.

Seventy reasons to enjoy 

Roodeberg this festive season 

Roodeberg, the legendary red blend 

that has been bringing friends together 

since 1949, celebrates its 70th anniversary 

this year. A true South African original 

that’s stood the test of time, the wine was 

developed by a pioneer of the SA wine 

industry, Dr Charles Niehaus, and was 

one of our country’s biggest export wine 

brands. It wasn’t until 2004 that it became 

readily available to us here at home ... 

and for a long while, locals could only get 

their hands on a bottle through a wine 

farming acquaintance with a KWV quota. 

The stories go that bartering sought-after 

test match tickets, biltong and the like in 

return for a bottle or two was a common 

occurrence. For many Roodeberg still 

conjures up fond memories of people, 

places and occasions, and of sharing 

special life-changing moments with family 

and friends, often with rare vintages 

squirrelled away. Catch all the action of 

Roodeberg’s 70th anniversary year by 

joining the Roodeberg community on 

Facebook or follow @Roodeberg_Wine on 

Instagram and Twitter. For one incredibly 

lucky reader, this party season is about to 

get a whole lot more festive. To celebrate 

Roodeberg’s 70th birthday, we’re giving 

away 70 bottles (nope, that’s not a typo). 

One reader, 70 bottles. One amazingly 

happy festive season. To stand a chance 

of winning, simply visit our Get It National 

Facebook page, follow us, and like the 

Roodeberg Spoil post. We’ll be drawing 

the prize early ... so get your entries in 

before November 15. Cheers!
