 Bread, glorious bread!

It seems only appropriate that my very first entry begin with one of the most simple ingredients, the basis of most excellent meals….bread. Simple, unadulterated bread. Its not only the smell as it comes out of the oven, the way butter just melts and ooozes into warm, fresh bread, the texture of it, the way we all drool when its brought to the table before a meal (come on, we all know its true) but the SIMPLICITY of it all. Add a filling or two between two slices of fresh bread and you are set!

So with this in mind I would like to introduce to you my lucky find! For all those bread lovers out there, get down to Kalk Bay and visit ‘Ce La Vie’. Found up a cobbled side road, this simple bakery offers fresh breads of all descriptions, using only French stone ground flour. Décor is simple and understated and service is excellent. Enjoy freshly blended juices (apple, mint and ginger is a must have!) while munching down on a fresh bagette with your favorite fillings.
Unlicensed but do feel free to bring your own bottle. My recommendation- a crisp, lingering Sauvignon Blanc to complement your sarmie!

After your meal enjoy proper (the best!) french roast coffee this side of Europe.
