Another Week in the Kitchen, Karen Dudley

On our search of food, recipes and things that make you smile, we found Karen Dudley's, Another Week in The Kitchen, Karen Dudley's 2nd cookbook. 

Now lets backtrack for two moments, we are looking for anything that makes the heart happy, and food, is certainly one of those undeniable happy drugs, most often healthy, happy drugs, real happy drugs, and even when they are not so healthy, provided you know what you can and cannot eat, a little escapism in food wont harm. Now we are not talking A LOT of escapism, just a little, unless its healthy, then go ahead, make every day your cheat day. 

In MEDIA & GASTRONOMY this month, we end off with a fabulous recipe book by Ms Dudley, that will leave you wanting to eat all day, every day, and whilst we urge self-control, we also urge that you try cook everything in this book, it all looks so yummy. 

Ms Dudley grew up in Cape Town, celebrating diversity, and after studying all the wrong things at University, (don't we all), worked in a historical mansion in Washington DC, where she discovered new possibilities of what could be done with and to food. 

Karen also had a working stint in England at Finn's Chelsea Green, just off King's Road, where she learnt how to 'do' parties with and for the upper crust of London's elite, and there she gained acknowledgement as a chef to be reckoned with. 

But then Karen settled back into South Africa, in Cape Towns fabulous Woodstock and started her own catering business. The business has over time gained a strong following of dedicated clients and loyal staff, and then its own Shop-Front, 'The Kitchen'. Its her base for her catering business, but its also a celebrated eatery serving the fabulously talented and cool live-ins of Woodstock.

Woodstock if you don't know is awesome, and a must see, but go to Karen's Kitchen and see that too, move in if you have to, she'll feed you well with her legendary salads, healthy yay, and her Love Sandwiches, now how could say no to a little love.....
