Meals created by a celeb chef. Sunrise yoga. Glori

Meals created by a celeb chef. Sunrise yoga. Glorious gardens and fine wines and spa treatments. This isn’t your everyday weekend escape.😊
Imagine. Luxurious accommodation. Exceptional meals by a celeb chef. Fine, fine wine tastings. Throw in award winning, breathtakingly beautiful gardens. Spa treatments. A helicopter flip. This, obviously, is not your common-or-garden-variety weekend away.😎
Brahman Hills in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, is always a treat. But this promises to be something completely OTT indulgent. The Brahman Hills Experience is an exclusive weekend boasting an enchanting blend of experiences for guests seeking an extraordinary fusion of comfort, culinary excellence, artistic beauty, and thrilling adventures.
🍷🍷Guests will indulge in exceptional dinners prepared by celebrity chef Pete Goffe-Wood. Along with dinners, there’ll be wine tastings from some of South Africa’s finest wine estates ... think Mullineux, L’Ormarins, Haute Cabriere and Bruce Jack Wines.
You’ll also have the chance to explore the 26 distinct garden rooms on the property, as well as the unique art and sculptures in the guided garden and art walks by designer landscaper, Tim Steyn and art curator Tyron Selmon-Butler.
For relaxation, there will be a Saturday sunrise yoga session, and an indulgent 90-minute spa treatment at the Healing Earth Spa. And for thrills ... a 15-minute heli ride over the five-and-a-half hectare, award-winning gardens.
Rumour has it there’ll be a few national rugby icons on the weekend escape, so you’ll get to rub (very broad) shoulders with the sports stars … we’re talking Tendai Mtawarira (Beast), Stefan Terblanche, Duane Vermeulen, and Hanyani Shimange
The Brahman Hills Experience has three packages – Platinum, Gold, and Silver – each tailored to cater to different preferences and budgets, all of which will include the accommodation, meals, non-alcoholic drinks, guided walks and yoga. Add ons (the heli flip and spa treatments) are available for the less expensive packages.😉
The experience is from Friday to Sunday May 10 to 12, rates are from R8400 to R11500 a person, sharing, and bookings can be made on the Brahman Hills website. @brahmanhills

Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We $Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We all know exercising is essential for our well-being. But those workouts or walks, runs or cycles sometimes bring on the aches and pains. Strains and sprains, stiffness and soreness ... which can range from being uncomfortable to being completely debilitating. Biokineticist Kevin Oliver tells us more about sports injuries and helps us understand inflammation, which is the body's natural response to injury or trauma, and many sports injuries - including sprains, strains, fractures, and tendonitis - involve inflammation, characterised by swelling, pain, heat, redness, and loss of function. Read what he has to say on our Get It Lowveld website. Managing inflammation is essential to avoid a prolonged or chronic inflammatory state, to reduce pain and restore functionality. Conventional treatments may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid medications. However, many people pursuing healthy lifestyles prefer natural and holistic solutions that are free from side-effects. If you prefer to go the natural route, there are plenty of plants with anti-inflammatory properties - peppermint, rosemary, ginger and eucalyptus are a few. The Aromatic Apothecary Sport range includes roll-on, spray on and rub-on products that can be frequently applied on-the-go and provide quick relief throughout the day. The Sport Roll-on Relief is gel-based, and the roll-on applicator not only delivers active ingredients that are quickly absorbed into the sore muscle or joint, but it’s also a mini-massage. The Sport Spray-on Relief is a water-based solution, so perfect for larger, sore areas, such as an entire foot or shoulder, with no massage necessary so no sticky or oily hands. And the Sport Rub-on Relief is an easily absorbed cream that needs just a brief rub into sore muscles and joints for targeted relief. There’s also a massage oil, and the magnificently effective Sport Mustard Milk Soak Bath Crystals.

Herbs are the perfect garnish ... It has always be

Herbs are the perfect garnish ... It has always been used to flavour food, not just in cooking, but as tasty and appealing toppings or garnishes.

Herb leaves, whether chopped or used whole, add a burst of flavour, colour and texture to savoury and sweet dishes, as well as drinks. The art of garnishing is quite simple and, as the word 'art' implies, also creative if your aim is to produce a masterpiece on a plate.

Edible flowers like nasturtiums, pansies and violas, borage and lavender can be used to decorate desserts, cakes and other baked goods, as well as cocktails, fruity drinks and the ever-popular gin and tonic.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀
- Less is more: Don’t smother a dish, rather sprinkle the herbs with a light hand.
- Match the flavour, aroma and character of the herb with the other ingredients in the dish.
- Add the garnish seconds before serving so that it is still fresh and crunchy.
- Also think in terms of contrast or colour. A simple example is a tomato or butternut soup decorated with a swirl of cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives.

Safety first: Bear in mind that you should never use pesticides on your herbs or edible flowers.

Find out what five cool seasonal herbs to grow as garnishes on the Get It Lowveld website.
