Yummy Magazine Vol 12 - Pizza Fest | Page 5

EDITORIAL ALL FOR PIZZA! This month we celebrate many firsts at Yummy, the first being our birthday! That’s right...we’ve been bringing you all there is to know about food and drink in our gorgeous city for a year now, and we have loved every calorific minute of it! I ’d like to personally thank all of you for making the magazine what it is today. To the Yummy team that works endlessly to find the most delicious content, I am privileged to work with such passionate and talented food enthusiasts! To all our suppliers, you rock! And to our readers and budding foodies, we’d be nothing without you. Thank you for always picking up a copy and writing in to express your highlights of the month, making us both laugh and pause to ponder in equal measure. It is our absolute pleasure to bring you this magazine each month! Now to another first and one which I’m sure all avid foodies are counting down the days to…Pizza Festival! From the 5th to 9th of October, we present EatOut’s very first Pizza Festival which will be held at several of the best restaurants around the city. In a nutshell, you and your mates can step out (or order in) and enjoy 2 for 1 deals on pizza and Carlsberg beer for a week! This month’s magazine features all you need to know about the participating restaurants and a whole lot more. My advice; download the pizza passport pronto, map out a plan of spots to hit and buy bigger pants! A personal first was our visit to Brown’s cheese farm. Being the cheese addict that I am, I spent most of the afternoon slightly emotional (yes I love cheese that much) and in awe of this beautiful little factory tucked away in the lush tea plantations of Limuru. Their parmesan and camembert have always been my favourites but the creamy handmade Burrata that Delia helped us make was to die for! Be sure to read more on page 26. Our final first was a sneak peek at Kempinski’s latest addition; Tambourin. Specialising in Levantine cuisine and adorned with coloured lamps and luxurious draped fabrics, it is bound to become a favourite with many. Tambourin feels like a Middle Eastern palace. Their chef has created the most divine menu, and get this: they have a belly dancer and traditional customized flavours of shisha! Flip over to page 15 for more images and be sure to book a date soon as it opens this month. That’s it from me. Thank you once again to all our readers for helping make this magazine a success. I hope you’ll all join us in celebrating by indulging in a little pizza action! And hey, for you freebie lovers, be sure to keep an eye on our social media pages and tune into Capital FM for lots of Pizza Festival giveaways. Keep it Yummy! Michelle Slater, General Manager. 5.
