Midlife is not a decline. It is an invitation to rise.

What a wonderful evening we shared at Midlife Rising with the warm and incredibly generous Dr Simone Silver.

Dr Silver gave us a refreshing new perspective on Midlife, encouraging us to approach this season with greater knowledge, intention and confidence. We left reminded that ageing well is not simply about living longer, but about living those years with vitality, purpose and possibility.

Thank you to every member and friend who joined us and helped make the evening so meaningful. If you missed out and want to be at the next one... Join our broadcast channel via the link in our bio.

Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to our generous sponsors and partners:
Strauss & Co Auctioneers, Van Hunks, Dermalogica, Rio Largo, Petals, Dr. Simone Silver and Ina Paarman.
Your support helped us create a beautiful evening while continuing the Adele Searll 100 Club’s fundraising work in support of our bursars and charitable initiatives.

Here’s to rising! Healthier, wiser and together.

When shopping for extra virgin olive oil, there’s one date you should pay more attention to than the best by date: the harvest date.

A best by date tells you how long a producer expects the extra virgin olive oil to maintain its quality. A harvest date tells you when the olives were actually picked.

And because freshness matters so much to the flavor, aroma, and beneficial compounds in extra virgin olive oil, knowing when it was harvested can tell you a lot more about what’s inside the bottle.

Hear Soraya explain why we always look for the harvest date. 🫒

Today on Coming Together With Shawn, we’re back with @halioduor and this time, we’re making a steak dinner that feels special without being complicated. ✨

A beautifully seasoned steak, seared in butter until golden and tender, served with pan-roasted grapes finished with olive oil, thyme and rosemary. The grapes become soft, jammy and caramelised, adding the most delicious sweet-and-savoury contrast to the steak.

The inspiration for this recipe came from @thecherrytomato , and it’s quickly become one of my favourite ways to make a simple dinner feel a little more lovely.

Listen, I’ve missed the living lights out of @woolworths_sa, and really, nothing compares. So, what better way to celebrate my new @riolargooliveestate EVOO than to pair it with a crisp, tart apple and roasted walnut salad? Ah and the ultimate admin procrastination, shredded spring onion and baby beet salad 😂, It’s a faff about for lunch, but I do enjoy it. Here’s to many more!

This dish is dressed to impress! Just a few simple ingredients and you’ve got yourself a zesty twist on a classic appetizer 🍋🫒

For the marinade:
🍋 2tbsp Lemon Olive oil from @theolivecellarke (this does most of the heavy lifting)
🍋 1tbsp Balsamic Vinegar from @theolivecellarke
🍋 Pinch of thyme
🍋 Salt and Pepper
🍋 A little maple syrup or brown sugar

🍋 Punnet of cherry tomatoes (halved)
🍋 10-15 basil leaves (cut into ribbons)
🍋 Fresh Burrata from @queendeli_ke
🍋 Brown garlic bread from @zucchini_ke

Just 5 minutes of prep! Let your cherry tomatoes marinate in the fridge for 1-2hours. Grill your garlic bread in the oven. Plate it all together and enjoy!

Captured some candid commentary as we dug in and safe to say that my guests loved this and the Lemon Olive oil was an absolute hit! 🍋

I recently had the privilege of attending one of Elsa van der Nest’s masterclasses. From the moment I stepped into her Constantia home, I knew I wanted to return to capture, in words and photographs, something of the fascinating woman behind the experience.

Art, books and beautiful objects collected across continents fill her home. The table may be set with vintage Russian glassware, French cutlery and handcrafted napery collected during her travels through France and Italy. Nothing is there by accident.

That attention to detail has defined Elsa’s culinary career for more than 30 years.

Classically trained at Silwood and mentored by Raymond Blanc at the two-Michelin-starred Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, she began her career in South Africa before spending two decades in Singapore.

Elsa has created culinary experiences for Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Chanel, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels; consulted on Art SG events at Marina Bay Sands; and oversaw the food and beverage operation for the film Crazy Rich Asians.

For her, food never exists in isolation. A menu must respond to the people, occasion, space and story. Her experience allows her to cook with instinct, while remaining grounded in seasonality, freshness and “handling ingredients with passion and respect”.

I believe strongly in collaboration and in using our platforms to support one another. So, beyond sharing Elsa’s story, I would also like to share how you can experience her work.

Elsa hosts private lunches and dinners for 10 to 12 guests at her Constantia home, as well as culinary masterclasses. She also advises restaurants and hotels on concepts, menus, operations, cost control and staff training.
