Taste, voted Best South African Magazine of the year, has just made my week a memorable one. They have done an article in this month's edition on South African blogs and food websites and chose their Top 5. Guess what???? We're in it. What makes this recognition so special, is that if it was not for all of you motivating and inspiring me, I would not find the reason to get up at 5am each day to do this.
The Top five blogs and websites that they have chosen, are as follows.
1. Best SA Blogger from abroad: Ronelle at My French Kitchen
2. Best for Local Living: Sophia at Sophia Lindop
3. Best Make-me-now pics - That's me!!!
4. Best Veteran site: Jeanne at Cooksister
5. Best leisurely read: Inge at Vanielje

OMG, I'm a veteran!!! Wonder if I can sue for defamation of character... :o)
What a fab list and I'm glad to see that I "know" everyone on the list and have met 2 of them in person. It's getting to feel like more of a community round here :) And best of all, my best friend flew in from PE this morning, hopefully with a copy of the Taste mag in her suitcase - yippeeee!
