Easiest, tastiest treat ever ... frozen peanut butter-stuffed, chocolate-dipped dates.

Simply pop the pips out of the dates and replace with a half a spoon or so of crunchy peanut butter - or any nut butter of your choice.

Melt a slab of Beyers Sultry Dark Chocolate - it’s 57 per cent chocolate with cocoa nibs - in a double boiler, making sure the pan doesn’t touch the simmering water.

Once melted, give a good stir and then pop in each date to cover. Put onto a baking tin, and put into the freezer until frozen.

They keep in the freezer for ages, not that they’ll last very long! You’ll find Beyers chocolates at stores including Clicks, Checkers, Pick n Pay, Spar and Takealot.

Your journey to radiant skin starts here with Brightening Vitamin C Wipes (R39.99) and Brightening Vitamin C Serum (R199).
The wipes cleanse and refresh your skin and the serum is infused with a blend of vitamin C, vitamin E and ferulic acid. But what exactly do these ingredients do?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to neutralise free radicals, which can cause damage to the skin and lead to signs of ageing. Vitamin E and ferulic acid work alongside vitamin C to enhance its effectiveness, making it even more powerful at brightening the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and stimulating collagen production.
The result? Radiant, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. And with a 15% Vitamin C concentration, it’s just enough to brighten without causing irritation, and is suitable for most skin types. Both from Clicks

Being happy at 100. A murder in a retirement village. And aging disgracefully. There’s a load of fun to be had when you’re no longer nine to five-ing!

In Clare Pooley’s 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗼 𝗔𝗴𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆, Daphne knows that age is just a number, but that society no longer pays her any attention – something she’s happy to exploit to help her hide a somewhat chequered past. But finding herself alone on her 70th birthday, with only her plants to talk to and neighbours to stalk online, she decides she needs some friends. Joining a Senior Citizen’s Social Club, she’s horrified at the expectation she’ll spend her time enduring gentle crafting activities. Thankfully, the other members – including a failed actor addicted to shoplifting and a prolific yarn-bomber – agree. After a tragic accident, the local council threaten to close the club – but they have underestimated the wrong group of pensioners! Penguin

𝗜𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟬𝟬, 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗔𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆. Well, exactly! Rhee Kun Hoo was in his 70s and retired from his psychiatry career when he took up writing. Now in his twilight years, his lessons for a long and joyful life tells of the often-overlooked value of ageing. He shares his wisdom and philosophy for finding a life well-lived, exploring forgiveness, how to persevere (but also know when to quit) and opening yourself to the simple joys available to you every day. Life, he says, is a story worth reading until the very last page. Penguin Random House

After 30 years of marriage, Louisa is stunned when her husband asks for a divorce. He has, apparently, fallen in love with a young woman who, horrors, also happens to be the ex who broke their son’s heart. So off he goes to start his new life, while she sells up the family home and begins, after a while, to make some exciting life plans. Oh ... and that new life of his. Living that dream is now all as hunky as he thought it would be! 𝗔𝗻 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱 by Erica James is all family drama and humour and a wonderfully satisfying ending! HQ

The Summer of 1919, and following the end of the First World War, Constance is without prospects. While looking for a position as a bookkeeper or (horrors) a governess, she’s sent - rather reluctantly - as a lady’s companion to an old family friend convalescing at a seaside hotel. So sets the scene for the smashingly enjoyable new book by Helen Simsonson - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 ... all English high society and a country preparing to celebrate peace and - obviously - and handsome fighter pilot to warm things up a little. Bloomsbury

63-year-old Syliva is furious when she finds her husband in bed with another woman. But then it dawns on her ... she hates living in a retirement village - it’s for old people, and she’s certainly not old. She and her 70-year-old, tremendously glamorous friend head to Manhattan to start a new life ... which includes reviving her wedding planning business and being back in the dating game. Hillary Yablon’s 𝗦𝘆𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝘁 is an hilarious feel-good read, showing how growing older may not always mean growing wiser, but it certainly does mean having a lot of fun! Orion

There’s been a murder in the Shady Oaks retirement centre. The victim is a retired policeman, and his murder is soon followed by another body being discovered - that of the home’s head of security. Add one ace detective and her partner, throw in a love interest and two marvellous old biddies and you’ve a heart-stoppingly exciting read. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 by Karen Rose. Headline

Tired of making an endless supply of aubergine bhajis, Mrs Sidhu - caterer and amateur sleuth - is delighted when she gets offered a position as chef in a quiet village. Until she discovers that a murderer is apparently picking victims through the fairground raffle. 𝗠𝗿𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗵𝘂’𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗲 by Suk Pannu is delightfully dark. Harper Collins UK

Love to wine and dine? Well how about this … front row seats to a bustling kitchen where you, as the dinner guest, get to capture every bit of a full-service dinner rush, and have dish after dish after dish make its way to a decked-out chef’s table in the midst of it all.
Usually an experience only available during Restaurant Week South Africa, The Chef’s Table is now a permanent feature at 54 on Bath’s Level Four Restaurant kitchen. Only a well-orchestrated kitchen would brave having their dinner guest observe every minute from preparing to plating … and the team at this splendid spot are nothing if not brave.
The experience is curated by Executive Chef Donaldson Madubela and is for a maximum of four people each night. On the menu are nine courses inspired by his international culinary career – he’s worked at luxury destinations from Hermanus and the Seychelles to the Bazaruto Island, blending a fusion of Mediterranean and South African cuisine. We were treated to an evening of wining and dining to Chef Donaldson’s innovative menu … and were blown away.

Lights, camera, dinner! Please take a seat, while we introduce you to a must-book experience that’s going to blow all your senses. The sensory, experimental dinner show at the Eclipse Restaurant, which sits above Sandton on the fifth floor of Hotel Sky Sandton, is a mythical musical … all powerful drumming, fight and dance scenes, aerial acrobatics, served up alongside a sensational three course meal. It’s a extravagant dining experience you will not forget, from the moment you step into the restaurant … a dazzling combination of Chicago, burlesque glamour and exquisite elegance and sip on your complimentary gin-infused welcome drink. For dinner, prepared by head chef Ken Phuduhuduto (ex The Test Kitchen, The Greenhouse, Terroir and Glenda’s) there’s a choice of a three course menu … we’re talking (and loving) the fine-looking Vichyssoise starter... crispy potato ring, vichyssoise cloud, leek fluff with a basamic dehydrated onion, the luscious smoked exotic mushroom Gnocchi mains, and a sweet, sweet ending with a very tempting Textures of Chocolate dessert. During dinner, you’ll be entranced the Warrior Moon show … hosted by the extraordinarily talented Isabella Jane (she with the voice sweeter than the dessert). Without giving too much away - as we really do want you to go and experience this spectacular show for yourself, Warrior Moon is about a warrior princess who embarks upon a quest to set free the captives of the gods and is forced to overcome immeasurable odds. It's intimate and immersive and you’ll find yourself drumming to the beats from start to finish. It’s a whimsical, theatrical dining experience, and we can’t recommend it enough. R895 a person includes a welcome drink, a three-course set menu and the entertainment. Only on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 6.30pm for 7pm. Bookings are essential.

We went to visit Dr S’lindile Ndwalane from the Specialist Laser & Cosmetic Institute (SCIN) in Hyde Park, and she gave us the low down on their Exlilis treatment ... a non-invasive skin tightening treatment with no downtime. We got to try it for ourselves (we do love our jobs!) and after just one a quick session could noticeably see the change. There’s no pain at all ... rather just a slight warm sensation - almost as if you were having a hot stone massage. The heat waves safely destroy fat cells, firming skin and helping collagen production. The sessions are quick - between 15 and 30 minutes, and you can treat multiple areas from head to toe and walk out ready to get back into your daily routine. It’s innovative, non-invasive and the results are instant!

Cadbury In Our Own Words

Cadbury Dairy Milk is on a mission … to help inspire a love of reading in children, with a library of children’s stories in their mother tongue. “A love of reading is sparked when children see themselves in stories and relate it to their lives, even more so when it is shared in their home language,” says Xolisa Guzula, an early literary specialist. However, the first book many South African children read is not the immersive experience Xolisa describes, as very few are able to enjoy storybooks in their home language. A survey by the Publishers Association SA (2016) highlighted the fact that only 2 per cent of children’s books published commercially in South Africa are in local African languages. And in a country where 80 per cent of the population speak a home language other than English or Afrikaans there are not enough relatable stories available. Cadbury Dairy Milk wants to change this and help inspire a love for reading amongst children. What better way to do this than by creating a library of enchanting children’s stories in their mother tongue. According to Langa Khanyile, Chocolate Equity Lead, Sub Saharan Africa, “Cadbury Dairy Milk has always been a brand that aims to bring people closer together, we are founded in the spirit of generosity and pioneering social impact.” Lara Sidersky, Mondelez SA Category Lead For Chocolate, adds, “That is why we want to impact the future of our children and are asking all South Africans to generously translate just one word to help co-author a library of children’s stories in African languages. We believe there’s a glass and a half of goodness in all South Africans and can’t wait to see what they share.’’ With this small act of generosity, everyone can help Cadbury Dairy Milk and Nal’ibali realise the goal of co-authoring 1500 children’s stories in African languages by 2023. By simply sharing one word as part of the In Our Own Words initiative, South Africans will be part of the change.
