We are on our way to Culinary Equipment Company. It is a place to wander
through, to admire and to have something to eat. Take your time and enjoy the
second-hand cook books, the cooking equipment; just feel the passion of the
owner not only for food, but for the interior of his emporium! It is not a
business. It is an emporium. Yes, get something to eat. The menu is something
else. And the food is specially prepared for each guest as if you are the most
important person in the entire world. This is really a place to visit. I am not
on their personnel list and I don’t get paid for this blog post! Culinary did
not ask me to write it. I just decided to do it.

You want to buy a stove? Your pockets have to be very deep. I had a look
at this Lancache – only from a distance.
I don’t know anybody in possession of such stove! I wish! Let alone to
cook on one.
We had to brave the Friday traffic on our way to the Lanseria area and
back. Fortunately, it was good weather conditions and the traffic was calm; not
like last night on our way home from Rosebank. I never felt to be in danger at
all; we were safe even with the taxis swirling around us; the trick amongst
these cowboys is not to become aggressive nor should you try to push them around
as it were. My tactic is to stay outwardly calm and give way to them, because a
few moments later they will give way to you. Treat them with respect and treat
them fairly. And that will repay you abundantly.
This place is next to Lanseria Airport; it is possible that you have
seen it driving past on your way to Lanseria. And it is possible that you were
in a hurry on your way – either for business flying off to Capetown or where
ever; or on your way to enjoy a short break. The best time to visit Culinary is
probably if you go there specially and on purpose. It will take effort and it
will take precious time; and then you spend precious time at the emporium
admiring the equipment and the people and the food.
Fresh produce: carrots, potatoes, huge tomatoes, peaches, apples, honey,
meat: lamb and beef, chillies. This is not exhaustive at all. Besides all the
rest of the equipment and tasties.
We are back from Culinary. It was worth our while. My wife and I shared the
lunch. But we did not share our appreciation of the food. This is somewhat
ambiguous not so? What do I mean? We physically shared the food. But not so our
appreciation. I was100% satisfied. And she was just as satisfied.
Gesondheid!
Do you enjoy good food? You probably guessed it; I like good food too.
And I like to cook good food with the proviso that my wife be standing next to
me or she should be close by and not too far off into the house. Well, I
started cooking more or less 2015 and the learning curve it very steep. This
learning curve includes our normal braai [for you who don’t know what a “braai”
is, it is a barbeque].
