Copywriter at an ad agency and co-owner of the Foodblog Group. I heart oysters, Bloody Marys, biltong and clever advertising.
If you’re on diet, look away now. If you’re lactose intolerant, close this tab immediately. This is not a drill. This is not pretend. This is the Camemburger. ALRIGHT STOP, RECIPE TIME. Whatever you want to put on your burger is up to you. I did the following: Rocket, fresh tomato, caramelised and pickled […] More
Let me set the scene. Oreo wanted us to create our very own festive-type holiday inspired recipe, incorporating their new brand Oreo Golden. Sounds great, hey? Yeah totally, except for a small problem…..I hate baking. I hate that there are so many rules. I hate that you can’t just add stuff and live like a […] More

Ooh Box Delivery Review “Join and get boutique wines, artisanal delicacies and foodie must-haves delivered to your door for that once-a-month deserved spoil.” The OOH Box is a monthly national service that […] More
I am super judgey of South African television. Always have been, always will be. I often struggle with production values, with content, and with the over-the-top, happy-go-luck fake South African cheerfulness that we for some reason always perpetuate. People do realise that you can be happy without smiling all the time, right? So when I […] More
Zucchini and Vanilla Soup Recipe by @TianaTweets Some like it hot… like me. Cold soup just gives me the heebie-jeebies. Gazpacho? No thank you. That said, this pretty green soup works well as both a cold starter (I’m not judging) or hot main served with a chunk of freshly-baked bread and butter. You can simply […] More

“Kayli, what are those on your desk?” “I dunno” “Have you tasted them yet?” “No, I’m scared” “Why?” “Because they look like fun… and hangover” Just after they first went to market, I was sent a whole bunch of 4th Street Wine 300ml bottles. As pretty as they are, I kinda just stared at them […] More

“Hi, we’d like to invite you to the Ron Zacapa launch!” “Ron Za-who-ha?” “Ron Zacapa!” “Oh, ok cool, I love clothes!” “No, no no… It’s a type of rum.” “Lies” “It’s from Guatemala” “Lies.” “Just come to the launch” “Mkay” I toddled into Kloof Street House with zero expectation. I read that it was a […] More
If you know me at all, you’d know I don’t have a sweet tooth at all. And I love an excuse to be judgey. So when I was asked to be a judge (yes man!) at a NoMU baking competition (no man!) I was a little torn. But my love of being judgey was way […] More
So, the other day Kamini Pather, 2013 winner of Masterchef SA, saw Gordon Ramsay ask who wanted a Christmas message on Twitter. She then replied to him and included me (KayliVee) in the tweet – saying that when we met him together earlier this year, it was practically the best day ever and a Christmas message […] More
