Pan African Cuisine at Epicure in Sandton: A Review
The very first time I spotted a post on Epicure, it featured a seared tuna dish. My first reaction was exactly this: “Is this African cuisine?”. So I was wondering about whether or not to try the restaurant. Nevertheless, my curiosity definitely got the better of me and when […]
#JFWEpicRoadTrip: Beach Camping in Namaqua National Park
It’s safe to say that before we headed out for our second epic road trip (December 2017), I had some romantic notions in my head about camping on the beach. To assuage your fears, quite a bit of it was spot on. However, beach camping, especially in the no-frills […]
A Whore By Any Other Name …
The origin story of the name Jozi Food Whore is a short one! Since I’ve been asked countless times, I thought I’d post on it. As someone who values food, coming from a less-than-privileged background, I have never been a fan of wastage. When I started a social […]

Good Food & Wine Show (aka The Amazing Adventures of Spending All Your Money on Food)
I was excited for this year’s Good Food & Wine Show. And rightly so. Amazing chefs were going to be in attendance. But I was tardy and missed out on the big interviews, and I didn’t care to pay thousands for Chef’s Table tickets. So I decided I’d just head […]
