This week our celebration of life and lifestyle with a South Asian connection comes to you from the Armani Suite of La Residence – with interior elegance complemented by the natural beauty of the Franschhoek Valley.  As always it’s our goal to let the content off the show mirror the variety and quality of the setting – as you can see in this morning’s line-up...

•    Style – J JValaya – Grand Finale: The influence of Turkish dress on European clothing dates back many centuries to the simple jacket, trousers and buttons – but Ottoman aesthetics have also had an impact in the East.  J JValaya found inspiration in the Topkapi archives – and from this sprang a collection of uncommon beauty...

•    Hot Stuff – AbdughKiar: We tend to think of soup as a winter dish – but ice-cold versions can be incredibly refreshing on a hot day.  Yoghurt and herb soups are popular throughout the Middle East – and today Chef Chris Smit will be preparing an Iranian recipe, with walnuts and raisins.  Your response to his ostrich curry was hugely positive – so we’re sure you’ll enjoy AbdughKiar with Barberi bread...
