		<description><![CDATA[Make this Christmas Dinner the most sumptuous ever with a lavish six-course festive meal conceived and prepared by Executive Chef Paul Nash of The Conservatory at The Cellars-Hohenort in Constantia, Cape Town. The jewel of the Constantia Valley, The Cellars-Hohenort is an impeccably appointed five-star hotel located in a majestic heritage building and surrounded by 9 acres of award-winning gardens. The Conservatory offers panoramic views out onto the renowned grounds of the hotel, which, combined with the tasteful interior design and fine food, all serve to enhance the experience. It’s an incredible setting with a delectable menu – what better for your festivities? Whether you’re in Cape Town on holiday, staying at the hotel, or a resident Capetonian who prefers to enjoy Christmas in gourmet style rather than slave away in the kitchen for days, The Conservatory is a welcoming, family-friendly destination for a memorable festive celebration. Chef Paul has taken the yuletide spirit to heart and opens the meal with a themed Christmas cocktail. The clear Christmas Turkey consommé is a contemporary play on the traditional bird; as is the classic gammon terrine, which is accompanied by roasted apple and pear. Artisan breads and butters round off the starters. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With staycations versus overseas trips on the radar this December, consider holidaying at the Overberg’s star destination, Hermanus. Famed for its “champagne air” and sea views galore, Hermanus is the toast of the coastline. And if you’re looking for a premier venue to raise a glass to life and the spirit of giving this Christmas, then look no further than Hermanus’s pinnacle hospitality property, The Marine. This five-star luxury hotel will be hosting a sumptuous Christmas feast this year, for Christmas Eve Dinner and Christmas Day Lunch, with bookings open to both resident hotel guests and visitors alike. The meal begins with views of the ocean and the sea cliffs and pre-dinner drinks and canapés. These include a traditional combination of pork and cranberry that has been transformed into dainty sausage rolls. There are also chimichurri steak bites and grilled zucchini and goat’s cheese roll ups. For vegetarians, the sausage rolls make way for halloumi fries with roasted garlic aioli, and the steak is replaced with mushroom. To start, the smoked white fish tartare is dressed with lime, crème fraîche, edamame beans and herb oil. The vegetarian option sees avocado and red onion in place of the fish. This is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The annual Christmas Night &#38; Day Slow Market weekend returns to Stellenbosch this year from Friday 27 November to Sunday 29 November 2015 – this time adding an element of copper to the celebration! The use of copper for kitchen accessories such as pots, pans and jelly moulds reflects the original Cape style kitchen dating back to the 1600’s – the same period in which Stellenbosch was founded and named after Dutch settler, Simon van der Stel. What better way to celebrate Christmas than with our very own Cape heritage and the hearty, wholesome food for which Slow Market is renowned? Surrounded by vineyards, oak trees and dangling copper décor, the Night Market, in addition to Saturday’s Christmas Day Market, promises to enchant your senses with over 100 specialty traders in local foods, wine, fashion and craft – the perfect opportunity to get all your Christmas shopping in the bag! There will be a wide selection of authentic items including fynbos topiaries, artisanal Christmas fruitcakes and handmade arts and crafts. Expect copper pots and spoons dishing up Christmas favourites such as gammon rolls, turkey, mince pies, German Bratwurst, Christmas puddings and champagne. Heavenly voices from the SA Youth Choir singing live carols will float about in the air, complimented by the soothing smell of real Elgin [...]]]></description>
