OCD Cocktail Tasting

OCD is a very new and exciting venue, that specialise in stunning food and astonishing cocktails. We were recently approached by them to do the label designs for an event that we thought was a great idea!

They approached a number of twitter influentials - some being Nicki Dadic, Joanne Lurie, Thulane, David Dadic, Mike Sharman, and 6 others - and custom designed a cocktail for each twitter influential, judged by their likes, interests and tweets.

Here are our label designs:

Here are some of the photos taken of the event and cocktails:

Yummy Presents!

Yesterday Jen and I traipsed all over Johannesburg, delivering these little goodies to some of our super clients! We can't really believe that it's that time of year already - but we're also kinda glad that it is! It's been a long and sometimes grim year, but I'm glad to say that Jen and I have come out of it all with smiles on our faces (Especially because of a few special people we get to work for and with.)

Our friend Meg, from The Counter, managed to find these great original Cuban Cigar boxes which we just had to get our grubby little paws on. Better than that - she filled them with her most delicious treats (A Brownie to die for, Rocky Road that makes you weak at the knees and a bottle of Salted Caramel which makes you feel as if you've just had the dirtiest, but sexiest, affair.) Even better - the money spent on the boxes goes to charity!

So, we thought we'd put something together for all of those people who have made our jobs that little bit easier and pleasant this year!

Thank You!

Higher Ground Menu

Here is a small peak at the menu designs we did for Higher Ground - for the launch of their new summer menu. You can view more of the menu on eat out.

We were lucky enough to try a few dishes from the menu when we were briefed on doing the designs, and wow-wee were we impressed! It's amazing how a few ingredients put together can make you "feel" summer. This is what I ate -

Salmon and Chickpea Salad - Smoked salmon, chickpeas, red onion, feta cheese, basil pesto and avocado. Makes me hungry again just thinking about it!

The menu has proven to be a hit with their regulars! If you haven't had a chance to try out any of the new dishes yet, be sure to book a table this week: (011) 024 - 3433.

The Counters Feature in Crush

Hi All

Our lovely friends at the The Counter were recently featured in the monthly online food magazine - Crush. Such little clevers! And we're really proud of them, so here it all is.

When The Counter found out they were going to be featured in the magazine they decided to throw a delicious lunch for all the people they felt helped them get to where they are today. We were truly privileged to be invited and had the best day drinking good beer, taking photos and eating ourselves in to food comas.

If you think all the food in the pictures above looks too yumm to handle then you should definitely check the issue out at http://petal.ceros.com/crushonline/issue20/page/1 because all the recipes are in the mag. (I could die.)

Have a good week everyone. Enjoy the food coma.
