Rhumarie de Saint Aubin Rhum
John was fortunate enough to have a work trip to Mauritius, and he brought me back a tasting pack of Saint Aubin Rhum. I have been exploring rum these last few months and learning more about rum in general.

Coconut Panna Cotta
In December I started with a series on boozy desserts with my tiramisu with whisky recipe. This recipe proved to be very popular. Also, towards the end of 2017, Backsberg Winery invited a few food and wine bloggers to join in a #MyBacksbergRecipe campaign. The goal was to create the ultimate recipe to pair with the Pinotage Rosé.
Rhumerie de Chamarel
Situated on the lush green hills on the South Western side of Mauritius is the Rhumerie de Chamarel. Hills filled with sugar cane as far as you can see, clumps of pineapples and coconut trees and colourful hibiscus dot the landscape. Spots of yellow and purple flowers transform the dense green sugar cane fields into a patchwork of colour.

I have been trying to pair whisky and olives for ages. I found this small little olive shop online. Tapenade has a big selection of the best olive products from the numerous South African olive estates.
