The Deli

Faith Rubin, well known Jozi cook and foodie, has taken Foodspace @ Verlorenkloof from zero to almost hero. Her signature ALMELBA biscotti, interesting home-made ice-cream and ZEST! lemonade are made in a huge new kitchen with spectacular outlooks. The products also sell at selected outlets in Gauteng and Mpumalanga.

In the wonderful space of the Lodge food products abound. An expanded range of biscuits now includes shortbread (traditional, orange zest , lavender), delicately coloured & flavoured Melting Meringues (vanilla, almond, rose, citrus). Chocolate chip cookies & about – to – come – on – stream Peanutbutter Cookies.

Also on sale are a variety of crisp Crostini to eat with our Smoked Trout & Chicken Liver Pate’s – just add Bread & Butter Pickle. Good friend Isabel Dickson, of Rietbokspruit Dairy, is producing delicious cheeses – delicate & complex Gouda, nutty white Cheddar, Mozzarella textured as it should be & the best ever Halloumi to put under the grill.

Elsa Venter, producer of our delectable Fig Preserves & Jams, is growing vegetables for us – specialist lettuces & tomatoes – to say nothing of her gorgeous broccoli, cauliflower, beetroot et al. We keep adding more products as in the freezer are pies made in the Tradition Cape Malay way with freerangechicken from Dion Terblanche in Schoemanskloof.

Available are staples – which you may have forgotten in your dash to get here - sugar, butter, flour, eggs, Jersey cream, farm milk…

The Story of Brunch

Definition – The Free Merriman – Webster Dictionary

Brunch (n) A combination of breakfast and lunch, usually served late morning when one rises too late for breakfast. Typically from 10h00 to early afternoon. Portmanteau word of breakfast and lunch.

The word has been in use since 1896. The meal was most common in the United States – but has now spread around the world. In China they serve “dim-sum brunches”. Like “The Simpsons” say “it’s not quite breakfast, it’s not quite lunch…..” Brunch is more relaxed than breakfast, less formal than lunch. It is often served after a morning event (trout fishing) or before an afternoon event (trout fishing).

Often hotels and resorts serve buffet brunches – generally on Sundays. A brunch menu usually includes elements of breakfast with elements of lunch.

At Foodspace@Verlorenkloof we serve themed Sunday brunches, so bring along your guests and JOIN US next time you are here.

Bring your own wine – we’ve got glasses!
