COUNTRYSIDE GOODNESS
La Stalla (“the stable”) is Chef James Diack’s fourth Jo’burg eatery – his other restaurants are Coobs in Parkhurst and The National and Il Contadino in Parktown North. This farm-to-table eatery in Melville is like a mini Il Contadino and 100% sustainable. Almost all the ingredients
are from James’s organic family farm, Brightside, in Magaliesburg. Ingredients such as the fl our for the pizza, which is from Champagne Valley, are carefully sourced. James and his Head Chef, Rausharn Griffi n, always drive out to visit farms if they’re sourcing produce.
Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu focuses on rustic food inspired by the Spanish, French and Italian countryside – pastas, pizzas, charcuterie boards, salads and wood-fi red dishes. The hearty breakfasts are excellent and inexpensive, at R75 each. Try the pumpkin
pancakes with burnt sage butter, ricotta, honey and wild boar bacon, or the artisanal bread with mozzarella, pork sausage, spinach and napolitana. Tel: 010 900 4876.

WATER-WISE KITCHEN TIPS • While waiting for the water to warm up in the sink, bottle the cold water. This can be used later for tea and coff ee.
• Wash your dishes at the end of the day before going to bed. That way, you’re washing everything at once. • If there’s ice left over in your drinks, toss it into the garden or into a pot plant indoors. • Don’t wash your fruit and veggies – rather use the SoPure Naturally Fruit & Veg Sterilizing Spray (R80).
