    The digital era has powered us to consume content The digital era has powered us to consume content faster and easier than before. Whilst we relied solely on print media or television before image sharing apps were made accessible, the 'word-of-mouth' canvassing through friends, family and associates were the only real way to hear about a brand and access any sort of new product knowledge. - This in its own right was a subliminal form of influencer marketing. - Instagram and Facebook have made experiencing a wider range of content more helpful and accessible. It aids in being a part of purchase-making decisions, hearing about new products, new experiences or even dining experiences. - Whilst these experiences are shared, a consumer ultimately is the final decision maker. How you choose to consume content rests solely on you as an individual. - I've seen Date and Halloumi Salads all over Instagram this past week, and I'm glad that you're heading out and giving my favourite restaurants a try. Although I can't come close to how Andria and her team make it at Olives & Plates, I head out consistently to support the staff. If you're not in Joburg, I attempted recreating it at home (saved on my Vegetarian Highlights tab). - Campaign shot by @charl_steyn_photo and @1920productions - With special thanks to the staff for their continued commitment and dedication. You are appreciated. - @tashascafe @olives_and_plates @just___teddy - #partnership
    Step into O&P in @hpchydeparkcorner and breathe in Step into O&P in @hpchydeparkcorner and breathe in the perfume of books and baking. I love how they've transformed the culture of browsing then brunching with their eatery being located within the @exclusivebooks in Hyde Park Corner. - While you're there, pick up a copy of The Beginning. Available at all Exclusive Books countrywide.
    “Is it nice my precious? Is it juicy? Is it scru “Is it nice my precious? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?” - @olives_and_plates wins hands down being Lord of the Salad Ring with their carefully crafted and familiar crispy ring that's used to garnish most salads on the menu. - I'm predictable and usually gravitate towards the Halloumi entwined Kataifi piled high with Baby Spinach, Onion, Peanut Brittle, Croutons, Dates and Avo salad layered on a bed of garden greens with spiralized vegetable, fresh tomato and red onions. My other recommendations are: Falafel and Lemon Tahini dressing and the Mediterranean Sesame crusted Feta Salad. - These are best eaten over slow dinner conversations. There are so many layers to the salads that it takes time to get through it all. I love how generous the portion sizes are and that the combination of flavours are a delicate balance between light and zesty, and more hearty and satisfying. - Olives & Plates have found the perfect way to showcase their salads and really strive to elevate the natural flavours in their ingredients. If you ever find yourself in @hpchydeparkcorner give my recommendation a try and let me know if I'm spot on about it being juicy, crunchable. And precious -😀-
    "You can't just eat good food. You've got to talk "You can't just eat good food. You've got to talk about it too." - Social media has changed our consumption behaviour. Just seeing certain food online can trigger certain behaviourial responses; we even look at food based on its 'Instagram potential'. - I know that I'm most likely to try a dish at a preferred restaurant menu if I've seen it online. This behaviour is hugely influenced by its social context; we are able to visualise our food online before even visiting a restaurant. I'm glad that our current social media landscape has its rightful place in how we are influenced by food. And if by any means this helps in the support of the industry at this time, I'm glad that social media has made a positive shift. - #LoveHPC #MadeToEnjoy

Hit us up in the comments section. - #Madetoenjoy #LoveHPC
    With French-Lebanese roots, the Zakis run @just___ With French-Lebanese roots, the Zakis run @just___teddy in @hpchydeparkcorner and one can easily tell that they are great at working diligently by how unified their family is; they are all present from start to finish of most work days. - Just Teddy is one of my most preferred lunch and afternoon tea spots in Joburg, mostly because as a family they're conscious of being Halaal-friendly with storage, preparation and production of hot foods being separated. These practices are strictly enforced in their kitchen where Teddy personally operates as the head chef. - Through the years, I've had an opportunity to sample most of the menu items and some of the cakes. Their food combines French nuances and Lebanese flavours; with a classic example of this being served at High Tea. This delicate selection of sweet and savoury features Scones, Lebanese (vegetarian) small dips and canapés and the last tier holds a selection of French patisserie. In fact, I love the idea of ordering this for lunch, and with the correct company, it can extend well into teatime! - They've also recently introduced Karak which I think complements it all rather delightfully. Late Sunday afternoons are my preference with just a single Petite Four to welcome in the new week. - Pictured: Spicy Gnocchi (I requested it without Macon). My guests ordered the Prawn Ritz, Salmon Bagel and Chicken and Pesto Sandwich. - #LoveHPC #MadeToEnjoy
