FROM THE EDITOR
Kiswahili for “African
tale”), particularly
given OuR SOLE
FOCuS over the past
year – launching
the magnificent
Mall of Africa.
Our continent is rich in culture, natural resources and beautiful stories,
and through the establishment of Waterfall Estate and the largest single-phase
mall Africa’s ever seen, we can explore some of these with new eyes and get a
sense of Africa’s future. If you took a journey through this vibrant continent
of ours, Africa would unveil many of her different cultures and traditions, not
to mention her extraordinary scenic trails and elements, revealing her hidden
treasures. Those treasures range from north to south and from east to west.
For me, living in Africa means being close to the source of life, and being part
of the foundations and elements on which so much of the world depends. This
is what we celebrate in such style at the Mall of Africa – and it’s inherent in the
very architecture, inspired by Africa’s five elements throughout the mall’s five
main courts.
In the Oleum Court, your senses are ignited as you smell, feel and
experience Africa’s different pampering oils, made from luxurious flowers and
herbs. The Desert Court is the court of time: an opportunity to slow down and
take a moment for yourself. The Court of the Great Lakes combines relaxation
and calm, where you’re encouraged to appreciate Africa’s most treasured
resource – water. Next, visit the Forest Walk, where African trees ground you
and centre your soul. Finally, take in the magic of the Crystal Court, inspired by
the exquisite and unique diamonds and crystals of the subcontinent.
As you walk through the Park and into the Desert Court, the skies break
out in song, celebrating the sunrise. A new African story begins at the Mall of
Africa. Take the journey and experience it for yourself!

IN THE BEGINNING…
A journey through Africa would unveil its many cultures, natural resources
and magnificent tales. Tapping into the hidden stories from North to South,
and from East to West Africa, as you enter the Mall of Africa, you’re about
to embark on an African trail, revealing the hidden elements that make the
continent what it is. The mall is set among approximately 640ha of stylish
living: the Waterfall Residential Estates, which are comprised of the Country
Estate and Village, an Equestrian Estate and two mature lifestyle estates, namely
Waterfall Hills and Waterfall Valley. This Atterbury Property development is
now hailed as the largest residential property development in SA and is all
about spacious, secure and stylish living.
ECO LUXE
The strong focus on “green design” within the development is evident
everywhere, from the great Mall of Africa to the residential developments
in Waterfall. The aim? To create a healthy community who subscribe to
environmentally conscious principles. Sustainable development means living in
harmony with the natural environment, considering the social, environmental
and economic aspects of our decisions, and reducing our footprint by following
less energy-, water- and material-intensive lifestyles.
But it isn’t just about being green. It’s the epitome of style: to live light,
connected to our globalness, but still very present in our exquisite southern
African context. So there’s reason to celebrate the houses throughout Waterfall.
They tick all these boxes – and then some. And, in accordance with these green
and stylish rules, enter the magnificent Mall of Africa. Here’s to the Eco Age!

delicacies – and for some retail therapy, there are a number of stores

ON THINGS PHILANTHROPIC
The developer of Waterfall City and the Mall of Africa,
Atterbury Property, recently helped organise and cosponsored the “Manna vir die Boere” concert in Pretoria.
Almost R2,5 million was raised to support the plight of
drought-stricken farmers in SA. Now, that’s the stuff that
defines a big heart!
AFRICA’S FINEST
While the mall’s many environmentally friendly
architectural elements are worth a mention, so is the

hen it comes to winter immuneboosting, you probably can’t get
better than a fresh juice, loaded with all the
greens. The pure synchronicity between the
virtuous effects of ingredients like ginger,
and the seemingly pedestrian flavour of the
green veggies and fruits, create an overall result
that will have your taste-buds – and your
immune system – smiling.
According to American physician Dr
Joseph Mercola: “If you ever feel as if it’s
difficult eating enough veggies, making a small
investment in a high-quality juicer is one of
the best steps you can take for your health.
Raw juice is teeming with micro-nutrients
that many people are lacking. When you
drink freshly-made green juice, it’s almost like
receiving an intravenous infusion of vitamins,
minerals and enzymes because they go straight
into your system without having to be broken
down. Since the juice is already in an easily
digestible form, it can help revitalise your
energy levels in as little as 20 minutes.”
But focus on the green stuff, cautions
Mercola. “While you can add an apple, a
kiwi fruit or a handful of berries to give your
juice flavour, the bulk of it should come from
organic, green veggies – spinach, celery, kale,
Swiss chard, etc.”
And if you’re not making your own this
winter, head to one of these great juice stops
in the mall:
• Boost Juice (shop 1234). We love its Lean &
Green juices.
• Life Grand Café (shop 2061) – here, freshlysqueezed seasonal juices abound!
• Woolworths Café (shop 2027) – Juices are
pressed daily using fruit and veggies from
the Woolworths market.
Here’s to your health!

SA boasts
world-class
shopping
malls and the
latest one,
Gauteng’s
Mall of
Africa, is a
shopper’s
paradise
By GayE CROssLEy
T
ia Kanakakis, partner at MDS
Architecture and principal architect
on the Mall of Africa project, believes such
structures “set a new benchmark in retail
design” which will put not only SA, but the
entire continent on the map in terms of retail
development. Although not the biggest in SA,
the mall is Africa’s largest single-phase (built in
one go) retail project.
Kanakakis says it’s a prime showcase of the
quality of architecture coming out of the
continent. “The mall’s been designed and
developed by Africans, but it can stand proudly
among the most outstanding international
shopping centres globally,” she says.
African architecture as a whole is taking
on a unique and distinctive personality – a
fact which is underscored by this project, in
particular. Kanakakis believes this evolution
is due to the fact that African architects are
creating designs to international standards,
while still fitting into an African context.
“Our buildings need to cater to a large
diversity of users and visitors, yet at the
very high end, retail developments could be
positioned anywhere in the world and are of
an acceptably high standard,” she says.
The Mall of Africa’s design took four
years to complete, with each element being
carefully scrutinised and implemented.The
project also stands out as an engineering feat.
In fact, Kanakakis jokes that it’s “an engineer’s
nightmare, but an architect’s dream”.
INTERNATIONAL TRENDS MEET
LOCAL NEEDS
The latest international trends were
incorporated into the design of the mall,
which focuses on creating a spacious, light
and airy feel. “MDS wanted an interactive
internal-external relationship with its
surrounding context, given the large expanse
of clear roofing,” explains Kanakakis. “The
most popular shopping centres today are
developments which aren’t introverted
buildings, but welcome in the outside
environment, while offering the shopper a
one-stop destination.”This is precisely what
the Mall of Africa achieves.
Asked what her favourite feature of the mall
is, Kanakakis says there are many individual
design elements that make the development
stand out, but the one she’s proudest of is the
ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) roof
which bisects the mall from north to south.
ETFE is a highly specialised plastic with
a fluorine base. It can withstand very high
temperatures, is resistant to radiation and is
also extremely resistant to corrosion. As a
lightweight product, it’s ideal for constructing
roofs. Renowned projects using this polymer
for their roof structures include the Allianz
Arena football stadium in Munich, Germany,
the National Aquatic Centre in Beijing, China
and the Eden Project in Cornwall, UK.
The Mall of Africa’s ETFE roof extends
across 4 500m² using only four support

columns. “The roof comprises
a number of ‘inflated pillows’
on an undulating diagrid,”
explains Kanakakis. “It also ties
in many of the design elements
used across the mall.”
She adds that the design
of the roof alone took
a year to complete.The
diagrid, a diagonal grid using
less structural steel than a
conventional frame, resulted
in significant savings in terms
of the amount of steel used
in the construction (the roof
material comprises recycled
tin and metal), making it very
progressive in terms of South
African building practices.
Apart from being functional,
it also gives the roof a unique
aesthetic quality. “An extensive
LED lighting design has been
combined with the ETFE roof
which will provide lighting
and animation to the key
centralised areas, with three
trillion colours! It’s truly aweinspiring,” says Kanakakis.
OFF THE GRID AND
SELF-SUFFICIENT
However, the roof isn’t
the only environmentally
advanced element of the mall.
“No architect can practise
today without being mindful
of sustainable design and
technologies,” says Kanakakis.
With this in mind, she and
MDS presented what she
terms a “strong argument”
to the client, Atterbury &
Attacq, to follow “best
design principles”.
As far as possible, materials
were sourced locally, with
the aim of minimising the
building’s carbon footprint. In
addition, all materials – from
WORLD-CLASS DESIGN,
AFRICAN
ETHOS
38
structural to design finishes – were
carefully selected and audited, with
preference going to environmentally
friendly options, as can be seen in
the roof.
What’s more, the sustainable
mindset extends beyond the building.
A greywater (relatively clean waste
water) harvesting system has been
installed which will flush all nine of
the public toilet blocks in the mall,
as well as providing irrigation for
the complex’s gardens and the
adjacent park.
There’s also a water harvesting
element to the mall. “This was done
in view of the fact that water will
become a scarce resource over time.
The mall’s been designed to be as
independent as possible. Our water
harvesting system will provide a
back-up water supply for three days,”
explains Kanakakis.
The mall also boasts a massive
photo-voltaic installation on the roof.
This is the largest installation of its
kind in Africa, which can provide 4,8
mega-volt amps of sustainable power
to the centre, allowing the mall to run
off the grid, if necessary.
In addition to solar power,
Kanakakis also ensured that natural
light was maximised throughout the
building. “Natural light forms part of
the mall’s unique design environment,”
she explains. “The main lengths of the
mall have maximised double-glazed
skylights which provide enough
natural light to make it unnecessary to
use electric lights in the mall on good
sunlight days. Extensive solar studies
have also been undertaken to ensure
that temperature comfort levels are
maintained in the mall throughout
the year.”
The option of taking the power
and water systems off the grid was an
expensive one, but Kanakakis believes
the long-term returns of the decision
will yield their own rewards.
DESIGN MUSINGS
MDS ensured that the look, feel and emotions which the design evokes in shoppers
are masterpieces in their own right. “I wanted shoppers to be inspired by the
beautiful architecture, feel comfortable in the mall and want to spend more time
there,” explains Kanakakis.
In order to achieve this, the designers drew on elements from both SA and the
broader continent in terms of its scenic beauty and natural resources, including the
Sahara Desert of North Africa, the oil of West Africa, the Great Lakes of East Africa,
the tropical forests of Central Africa and the mineral wealth of the subcontinent.
These five elements correlate with the compass points of the mall.
Desert: The north court follows the wind-blown sand
aesthetic of the desert regions of North Africa. “The
materials and patterns are chosen to reflect the warm
colours, soft textures and contours found in the Sahara,
which is the largest desert in the world.The details reflect
the traditional Berber and nomadic patterns found in the
carpets and architecture of that region,” says Kanakakis.
Oil: The aesthetic concept for the court on the western
end of the centre was inspired by the trading and oil wealth
found in West Africa. “Colours and details are bold, with
dramatic patterns which reflect the dark richness of
unrefined oil and the warm amber glow of refined oil,”
says Kanakakis.
Great Lakes: The inspiration for the court on the
eastern end of the centre is taken from the Great Lakes of
Africa, in the east of the continent. “The colours, materials
and patterns of the Great Lakes court are taken from the
calming waters of the eastern coastline of Africa.The details
relay the movement of water in the lakes, the sails of the
fishing boats and the soft, gentle breezes,” says Kanakakis.
Tropical forests: The inspiration for the central area is
drawn from the geographic elements of Central Africa,
which are dominated by the Congo River and its amazing
rainforest. “The Forest Walk is a key area in the mall because
it links various offerings, thus providing a seamless retail
experience,” explains Kanakakis. “The central axis has a
double-height volume at its centre, with a distinctive roof
feature that enhances natural light by day and accentuates
the spine at night.The distinctive floor patterns and
materials mimic the sinuous rivers, warm timbers and
foliage found in the rainforest.”
Mineral wealth: The aesthetic concept for the south
court draws its inspiration from the rich mineral wealth
and dramatic landscape of the subcontinent. “The details
were inspired by diamonds, gold and platinum,” explains
Kanakakis. “The colours and materials strongly reflect
the dramatic forms found in crystals and diamonds, with
bold geometric patterns reflecting the specific aesthetic
influence of the southern African geographical region.”
The malls (aisles) between these nodes have been kept very

have a neutral palette, with accent patterns that reflect the colourful
and vibrant beadwork which is unique to Africa,” says Kanakakis.

STAND-OUT FEATURES
Besides a unique design and ethos, the mall also offers shoppers
convenience and comfort in practical design elements, says Kanakakis.
The first thing she points out is space and airiness. “The centre has
maximised the mall width space and the shopfront heights vary from
4m to 5,5m and 6,5m, with an abundance of natural light.”
MDS has also given special consideration to the complex’s parking.
As a single-phase development, it enabled the architects to design these
spaces from the get-go. As a result, each of the 28 entrances leading
into the shopping centre is equally accessible, offering the same space
and convenience.
“The ease of access to the Mall of Africa is one of its major
attractions,” says Kanakakis. “Whether the shopper comes from the
north, the south, the east or the west, they can easily enter the complex
through the redeveloped and enlarged Allandale off-ramp or through
the western end of the Waterfall CBD.”
The mall design has also factored in a large taxi area for the
convenience of shoppers using public transport, as well as making
disabled access a priority.
ICONIC SHOPPING
Kanakakis is excited by the fact that the Mall of Africa accommodates
an interesting and dynamic mix of retail outlets. “It provides an allencompassing retail experience under one roof: luxury retail therapy,
food and entertainment. Not only have familiar local retailers taken
up space, but there are many stand-alone stores and new international
brands.The local brands are all providing flagship stores not seen
elsewhere in the South African retail development,” she says. “It will be
an iconic centre.”
THE COMPANY BEHIND THE DESIGN
Tia Kanakakis is one of eight partners at
MDS Architecture, the creative force behind
the Mall of Africa. “I’ve been a partner
there for 22 years. Besides leading the Mall
of Africa project, I’m also the Managing
Partner of the practice, which comprises 95
employees.” In addition, she’s responsible
for the financial management of the firm.
MDS is no stranger to the challenges
of retail space design. Formed in 1954 as
Gluckman & De Beer, the firm has always
enjoyed a reputation for being at the
forefront of architectural trends.
In 2000 it branched out to create Design
Base, its interior design arm. The move
cemented MDS’s belief that interior design
can help realise the design intent of a
building and is, in fact, an extension of the
structural design. This view is well illustrated
in the Mall of Africa, which features perfect
integration between its external design and
internal finishes.
MDS specialises in commercial projects
and has been involved in many of the
country’s and the subcontinent’s premier
mall developments. Its guiding mission
is based on a passion for thoughtful
architecture. “We create functional,
aesthetically pleasing and commercially
viable buildings for our clients,”
says Kanakakis.
The firm’s recent shopping centre
projects include: The Mall of Rosebank,
Johannesburg; The Mall of Mozambique,
Maputo; The Mall of Zimbabwe, Harare;
Sandton City Phase 1, Johannesburg; The
Atrium on 5th, Sandton, Johannesburg;
Nicolway, Bryanston, Johannesburg;
Middelburg Mall, Mpumalanga; and Mall of
the North, Polokwane.
MDS is also recognised within the industry
for its contribution to architecture across the
continent. It’s received awards for its work
on the Middelburg Mall, Sandton City Phase
1 and Mall of the North projects, among
several others. The Mall of Africa will no
doubt be next to gain it accolades.

et’s consider the evolution of masculinity over the past 30
years or so. First there was the New Man. He arrived in
1987 with that famous Athena poster of model Adam Perry
holding a baby. (At the time, David Beckham was 12.) Then
came the men of the Nineties: on the one hand, grungy androgyny
(Kurt Cobain) and on the other, New Laddism (Noel Gallagher).
Next followed the Noughties and the golden age of the metrosexual
(Blair Underwood – oh, and Beckham came of age and took over the
world), followed by the über-sexual when the metrosexual became too
narcissistic and annoying (Will Smith, Kevin Hart, George Clooney
and, again, Beckham). Most recently, we met the lumbersexual, the
bearded, plaid-shirted hipster.
The two things we can learn from this are, firstly, that masculinity is
constantly evolving and changing and secondly, that the more things

change, the more they stay the same.
But if you look at those few decades
again, a pattern emerges: the male ideal
seems to shuttle between macho and
metro every 10 years or so. It veers
between the Marlboro man and the
whining emo boy with his emotions
and eyeliner, from beards to facial
moisturiser and back again. Are men
destined to forever travel this endless
loop from man’s man to girlie boy to
man’s man?
Thankfully, a whole new kind of male
has arrived: the New Gentleman, in
THE METROSEXUAL
The term “metrosexual” was coined 22 years ago by journalist Mark
Simpson to describe a new breed of man who wore moisturiser, had
manicures and cared deeply about the way he dressed. He wasn’t afraid to
wear a sarong. Or eat quiche. Trend analyst Marian Salzman also used it
a year later, when metrosexuality was a revolution. Women were allowed
to look at men as objects of beauty and men were prepared to beautify
themselves. It was all rather liberating. It suggested gender equality. It
signalled hope that the old gender battles might be over. But then the sexy
metro devolved into the vain, plucked, primped and oiled fashion freak of
the Noughties.
Later, we became cynical about metrosexuality. While its rejection
of traditional masculinity might have been a step forward for gender
stereotypes, women got tired of it.
THE ÜBER-SEXUAL SOLUTION
Some time later, Salzman coined the term “über-sexual” to mean
something more advanced: a more evolved, perfect version of a man
who successfully balanced sensitivity and success. “Compared with the
metrosexual, the über-sexual is more into relationships than into himself.
He’s neither sensual nor at all self-conscious. He dresses for himself more
than others (choosing a consistent personal style over fashion fads),” she
wrote. “Like the metrosexual, the über-sexual enjoys shopping, but his
approach is more focused; he shops for particular items that enhance his
collection, rather than shopping as entertainment (he has better things to
do than hang out at the mall). His best friends are male; he doesn’t consider
the women in his life his ‘buddies’.”
MASCULINITY IN CRISIS
You’ll remember all the talk a few years back about the crisis in masculinity.
Society reached a point where men were no longer required to be providers
and protectors. Women had jobs and independence. Damn, they could even
have babies without men! At the same time, the economic crisis of the late
Noughties made it more or less impossible for men to follow the pendulum
back to feminised, decadent, conspicuous consumption for another round
of gender role-swapping. But most men couldn’t live up to the traditional
expectations of masculinity either. They no longer earned enough to be sole
providers, were no longer needed to protect their women and children and,
in fact, seemed to have become redundant. But nothing in our culture had
come along to replace their status.

EXIT THE HIPSTER
Inevitably, the age of the real hipster had to end. The
problem with cultural movements that have their roots
in some sort of parody is that as time goes by and they’re
more widely adopted, they actually become little more
than parodies. As hipsterism went mainstream, people
adopted its style, but not its substance. (Well, let’s face it,
hipsters were always very into posturing.) While there’s
been some real effect in the shift from true ethical
consumption to conspicuous consumption, mainstream
brands have climbed on the bandwagon and realised the
buying power of the creative class, marketing the same old
stuff to them with hipster values. And with that, the hipster
officially left the building. But before he left, it’s undeniable
that he did something important in the evolution of the
new male.

ENTER THE HIPSTER
Then a new breed of man evolved. Enter the hipster: a
man with tattoos wearing plaid workmen’s shirts and boots,
sporting a big, manly beard and driving a vintage Land Rover.
He looked like a labourer. In fact, his hobbies probably
involved some version of traditional labour: woodwork, beerbrewing or leathercraft. He listened to folk music. But he
wasn’t a lumberjack. He was an urban creature with a creative
job that involved working on his iMac in cafés and sharing
office spaces where artisanal, micro-batch, house-roasted free
trade coffee was lovingly served by bearded baristas.
Hipster masculinity was obsessed with the image of a
traditionally masculine man who was outdoorsy and tough.
It was nostalgic about the past, about preserving craft and
traditional skills, but it didn’t celebrate the violence or
dominance associated with tough-guy machismo. The hipster
guy was sensitive and introspective, to the point of being
navel-gazing and self-absorbed. He adopted workmen’s
clothes with a degree of irony and subversion, as well as
celebration. While hipsters were obsessed with authenticity
and provenance (real, vintage design and ethically sourced
produce), their whole fashion sense was parody.
Their tattoos and beards were a counter-reaction to the
metrosexual’s careless, conspicuous consumptions and vanity.
They were very well groomed and looked like Marlboro men,
but they were by no means a return to the traditional gender
role. Rather, hipsters arose from the ashes of both traditional
masculinity, as the world tried to remedy its exploitation of
the planet, and from the ashes of corrupt financial systems.
And men finally stopped returning to blurring the distinction
between men and women as a solution to masculinity’s crises.
They returned to traditional masculinity, but tried to make
it better.
ANOTHER OPTION
In the background, running throughout the Noughties, was the Don
Draper ideal. Although the smoking, drinking, philandering anti-hero
of Mad Men was created to critique Sixties masculinity in crisis, as it
battled to adapt to a fast-changing world, everyone loved these mad men
for their style. The three-piece suits, the formality of dressing for work,
the square-jawed suaveness. There was nostalgia in the way that style
was picked up: in a way, a deliberate missing the point of the show and
longing for a time when things were simpler – when men were men.
But the hipster guy had already opened a door to a new masculinity.
The New Gentleman can become the natural successor of the hipster.
Just as someone who looks like a lumberjack can be a sensitive, caring
and nurturing guy, so can a man in a suit. Just as hipsters reinvented an
antiquated idea of a man without reverting to type, so modern men can
take on the traditional attributes of the gentleman without becoming
Victorian in their views. They can trace a masculine golden thread to
the past without repeating the mistakes of Don Draper (or those of
their fathers).
So the post-millennial male has trimmed his beard, donned a tweed
suit, turned up his trouser cuffs and stepped bravely into the future.
Exactly how it will unfold is hard to tell. But no matter: Beckham’s beard
is neat again. He’s dusted off his lapel, he’ll show us the way – and he’s
well and truly bending it!

hen the temperature drops just a few degrees, it saps the
humidity out the air.This has an adverse effect on the
skin, making it drier. Come winter, you want products that will
soothe, calm, protect and hydrate your skin. Here are a few tweaks
you can make to your beauty regime to ensure your skin, body
and hair stay looking their very best during the cold months.
CLEANSING
Consider swapping your foaming facial wash for a cream
cleansing formula or a cleansing oil – both are far gentler on the
skin. Normal, dry, sensitive and even oily skin types can benefit
from using an oil cleanser, which actually lifts oil off the skin,
leaving it clean, yet hydrated.
Cream cleansers also remove make-up, dirt and debris from
the skin really effectively without stripping it of moisture. If
you’re using a cream cleanser, it’s best to use a toner afterwards,
as this will ensure any residue on the skin is removed. A toner
also works to balance the PH of the skin.

EXFOLIATING
Exfoliating is essential, as it removes the dead, dry layer
of cells on the surface of the skin. Exfoliating also
softens and smooths the skin, enabling the products
you use afterwards to work more effectively (as
they’re able to penetrate the skin more easily).You
should be exfoliating both your face and body at
least once a week.
There are two types of exfoliators: enzymatic and
granular. For those with dry and sensitive skin, an
enzymatic option is best, as it’s gentler. These types of
exfoliators use enzymes (often from fruits like papaya) to
gently dislodge dead cells from the surface of the skin.
Granular exfoliators are great for normal, combination
or oily skin types which aren’t overly sensitive. They
contain small particles, or micro-beads, that are gently
massaged into the skin using a gentle, circular motion.
Don’t forget to scrub your body to keep your skin
soft and supple. Apply your exfoliator onto damp skin,
working in a circular motion, starting at your feet and
working your way upwards. Be gentle when scrubbing
areas like the décolletage, breasts and bikini area. Rinse
off with warm water.

another for the winter months.
Both can be combined to match
your complexion colour.
You could also add a little
moisturiser to your foundation to
create a tinted moisturiser, should
you want lighter coverage.
Winter is a good time to try a
darker, more dramatic lip colour
like burgundy, dark brown or even
classic red.

MOISTURISING
In summer, we tend to use lightweight moisturising formulas
that are absorbed quickly. Come winter, we should invest in
a richer formula like a balm or oil that’s intensely nourishing.
You want a formula that will leave your skin looking dewy and
hydrated, but not greasy.Your moisturiser should perform the
all-important functions of making your skin feel comfortable,
while creating a smooth canvas for foundation. For the body,
opt for hydrating body butters or formulas containing vitamin
E, argan or coconut oil.

HEALTHY-LOOKING HAIR
In winter, we tend to use heating tools such as flatirons, curling wands and hairdryers. Make sure you
avoid damaging your locks by always using a heatprotectant product.
Flaky scalp is another common issue in winter,
because cold weather zaps the moisture out of the
hair and scalp. However, this condition is easily
managed by applying a daily hydrating treatment to
the scalp. Exfoliation is beneficial not only for the
face and body, but also for the scalp. Make your own
exfoliator by mixing a tablespoon of sugar with your
shampoo. Massage it gently onto the scalp and rinse
it off thoroughly.
Most hairdressers recommend switching to a richer
shampoo and conditioner in winter. Look for creamy
formulas (as opposed to transparent ones) which are
gentler on the hair and contain hydrating ingredients
like panthenol.

LOVELY LIPS
The skin on your lips doesn’t contain any
oil glands, which is why they become dry,
cracked and may even bleed during winter.
One of the easiest and healthiest ways to
combat dry lips is by drinking more water,
which keeps you hydrated from within.
When choosing a lip balm, look for
moisturising ingredients like jojoba oil,
vitamin e and shea butter. It’s also a good
idea to choose a formula with a built-in SPF
to prevent lips from harmful uV rays.

DON’T STOP THE SPF!
Just because the weather’s cooler,
don’t imagine the sun’s rays are any
less harmful! It needn’t be a sunny day
for solar rays to penetrate and damage
the skin, causing wrinkles, dark spots,
pigmentation and even skin cancer. It’s
essential to protect your skin every day
with an SPF of at least 20.
You can either opt for a moisturiser
with a built-in SPF (although you’ll
then need a separate night cream)
or simply apply an SPF over your
daily moisturiser. Many foundations,
beauty balms, colour-correcting
creams and tinted moisturisers have a
high SPF included in their formula –
seek these out and use them for
extra protection.

HELPING HANDS
let’s face it – winter is hard on
our hands. The drop in humidity
in the outside air, regular washing
(to prevent colds and flu) and
indoor heating all dehydrate the
skin, leaving hands dry, red, rough
and chapped.
The best way to treat them is by
moisturising them regularly. keep
a tube of hand cream in your
handbag, office desk and bedside
drawer.
When it comes to nail colours,
choose rich reds, shades of berry
and dark blues to ensure your tips
are on trend.

Wellness trends
you can’t afford to
ignore – and why

here’s a change taking place in the world of health – a shift in
thinking. Health practitioners of various persuasions – including
many Western doctors – are moving away from seeing health
as simply being the absence of disease, or the management of
illnesses. Instead, the focus is on promoting wellness holistically.
Sandton wellness coach Simone Hultzer explains these new trends.
Patient-Practitioner PartnershiP
“In the past, if you had a health issue, you went to a doctor and relied
completely on his or her diagnosis,” says Hultzer. “It was an autocratic
relationship. But there’s been a shift in this – patients are no longer handing
over the responsibility for their health to their doctors.”
Hultzer isn’t suggesting that patients shouldn’t take their doctors’ advice.
Rather, she’s advocating a partnership: a kind of joint venture. “It’s vital
that people remain empowered,” she says. “They must ask questions, take
responsibility and work with their doctors to heal. There are many studies
showing that your relationship with your healthcare provider contributes
WELLNESS
Mechanistic to holistic health
Part of the move towards a focus on wellness,
rather than illness, means that healthcare
practitioners are moving away from what Hultzer
calls a “mechanistic” approach to healing. Instead,
they’re adopting a much more holistic approach.
This goes beyond simply acknowledging the
placebo effect: it includes seeing the patient
as a whole (physically, mentally, spiritually and
emotionally) and acknowledging that what works
for one patient might not work for another.
Patients are individuals and need to be treated
as such.
Regarding the mind-body connection, many
doctors are even embracing alternative health
interventions. It’s not uncommon to find a GP

Reactive to pRoactive
Your mother always said prevention was better than
cure – and she was right. There’s a definite move
towards lifestyle choices that can stave off disease in
the future, rather than having to cure a condition
that’s already taken hold.
These choices includes eating healthily,
exercising regularly, drinking moderately and not
smoking. They also involve finding healthy ways to
deal with stress and trying to live a more balanced
life – something Hultzer says has become far more
urgent, as our daily routines and workload become
more demanding.
The beauty of the global village and the Internet
is that we now have access to alternative ways of
doing things and a rich pool of global knowledge
to draw on.
who’s also a trained homeopath, or a practitioner
of Chinese medicine. Physiotherapists employ
techniques taken from acupuncture; surgeons
prescribe natural remedies for pain. American
cardiologist Dr Mehmet Oz employs Reiki
Masters in his operating theatre.
With this comes a move away from fads because
in health, one size doesn’t fit all. “For example, we
know that diets don’t work,” says Hultzer. “It’s far
more effective for people to eat in an intuitive,
mindful way – to be in touch with what their
bodies need. And one body will need something
very different from another.
“Healthcare practitioners are seeing that there’s
a need to address the whole picture,” she says. “It’s
no longer about treating the symptoms – it’s about
addressing the cause.
“People are also becoming more spiritually
attuned and open to holistic therapies. We’ve
moved away from a fear-based culture and towards
a love-based one. Compare the way you were
schooled and parented with the way your children
are treated at school – or raised by you – and you
can see the shift.”

significantly to your healing. So there must be
accountability from both parties.”
Certainly, many doctors will welcome this move.
One Johannesburg doctor we spoke to says he no
longer even bothers encouraging his patients to
make lifestyle changes when managing conditions
like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and
Type II diabetes. “I just put them straight onto
medication,” he says. “When you try to suggest the
lifestyle changes, you can see their eyes glazing over.
So I just give them the medication in the hope that
we’ll get those other issues under control. If they’d
only work with me, instead of against me, they’d be
much healthier and off the medication.”

ChemiCal to natural remedies
when it comes to medication, western medicine’s approach is
typically to find a natural ingredient that has a therapeutic effect and
then to either refine that active ingredient or synthesise the relevant
molecules in some way.
in contrast, traditional african medicine and other ancient healing
arts, such as ayurvedic or chinese medicine, not only consider the
whole patient, but also use the whole plant in which the active
medication is found, since the other ingredients in it must contribute
to its efficacy. often, these ancient healing systems – which use
natural, rather than synthetic medicines – have remedies that don’t
produce the side-effects of western medicines.
again, this isn’t to say you should completely discount allopathic
medicines or ignore your doctor, especially when it comes to lifethreatening illnesses and emergencies. but it’s helpful to acknowledge
the success of chinese doctors, for example, in treating patients with
herbs and acupuncture for centuries. the western world may not
understand exactly how those treatments work, but that doesn’t mean
they’re fraudulent or ineffective.
the environment’s effeCt on your genes
You can try to blame the “junk in your trunk” on your genetics (after
all, everyone in your family has the same derrière), but unfortunately,
science begs to differ. “Your genes are influenced by the environment
– and you can do something about the environment,” Hultzer
points out.
there’s a famous study of Japanese women who came from a
community that was free of breast cancer. they moved to the usa
and soon their rates of breast cancer were equal to american ones.
what had changed? their environment – chiefly their diet. simply
put, they’d moved from eating fresh fish, rice and raw vegetables
to a diet high in burgers and fries. the result was an increase in
cancer rates.
so the good news is that you don’t have to be a slave to your genes.
You can make proactive lifestyle choices and do something about the
health predilections you’ve inherited. the bad news is that you’ll have
to get off the couch, get moving and give up (or, at least, drastically
reduce) your fast-food treats.

For some, the words “private island’ conjure up visions
of indulgence in pleasure and luxury. For others, it’s
where time stands still
MAGIC
IN MOZAMBIQUE
by INGRID WOOD
56
| Winter 2016
F
rom the moment I first saw the aerial
photograph of Anantara Medjumbe, I was
longing to visit this exclusive resort on the
private island in Mozambique’s Quirimbas, which
won the 2015 World Travel Award for Africa’s
Leading Private Island Resort and recently underwent
a refurbishment.
Flying out of SA, the most convenient route is
with Airlink from OR Tambo to Pemba Airport in
northern Mozambique. From there, a 45-minute
charter flight touches down within walking distance
of the resort’s front door.
The Cessna Caravan flight is an integral part of
the experience, affording a bird’s-eye view of eight
of the southernmost islands in the Quirimbas
archipelago, which consists of 32 islands in total. Some
are large and well inhabited, like Ibo, where Vasco da
Gama reportedly rested in 1502. It was also a slave
port in the late 18th century and is now one of the
more popular island attractions in the Quirimbas
National Park.
Medjumbe is a smaller, more remote island. At
only 1km in length and about 500m wide, it takes
less than an hour to walk around it, with numerous
photo stops.The resort comprises only 12 luxury
villas, a main dining/lounge and pool area and a
treatment villa.
While I always prefer to be outdoors and enjoy the
views when travelling, the recent soft refurbishment
really does entice one to spend time wallowing in
luxury. Each villa has its own lukewarm plunge pool
and deck, all with uninterrupted beach and sea views
and an outdoor lounge area where you can enjoy a
book and a snooze.The pool has a “champagne step”

so that you can relax with a glass of bubbles in hand.
Each of the spacious villas has a king-size bed, a workstation, a
large bathroom (with an ocean view, of course), a changing and
wardrobe area and an outside shower.
While this is the perfect location to do almost nothing but rest,
recuperate and soak up the view, I highly recommend the activities
– not only because you may feel the need, as I did, to work off
the delicious (and abundant) food and cocktails, but also because
it’s the ideal way to explore the island and surrounds from a
different perspective.
WHAT TO DO
• You can snorkel off two points of the island, or take a short boat
ride to neighbouring (uninhabited) Quissanga Island. Here we
enjoyed an afternoon indulging in fresh seafood cooked on hot
coals and snorkelling over the reefs. It’s a pristine area that will
hopefully remain that way.
• In addition to motorised watersports and diving, there’s kayaking
and stand-up paddle boarding – the latter is a great way to cruise
around the island before the tide goes out. Quietly rowing on
the calm ocean, with only the sound of the oars flicking the
water, was a close-to-nature experience.
• The loft lounge is stacked with books and games, while the
main pool deck has the ubiquitous island views.
• Don’t miss the “Dare to Dhow Discovery”. Other than the
sound of the dhow carving through the water, all you’ll
hear is the skipper pointing out birds and fish, or offering
cold beverages.
• The bird life is prolific, with water birds taking centre stage. Pack
your binoculars, as the resort doesn’t have any.

Anantara Medjumbe’s soft refurb took place towards the end
of 2015, under the eye of Savile Row, a South African-based
architecture and interior design firm. Mall of Africa caught up
with the design team of Joanne Venter, Roxanne Ferreira and
Adrian Davidson.
What were some of the challenges you faced? An
extremely tight budget made this project a big challenge.We
had to think out of the box and come up with clever solutions
to get the most out of every cent.The logistics of getting
everything to the island (in one piece!) also presented a slew of
obstacles that had to be overcome.
Then, once on the island, we had to make do with what
we had – we couldn’t just take a quick drive to the nearest
hardware store! A lot of planning, packing and preparation
was essential.
From where were the bulk of the items sourced? The
bulk of furniture and lighting was sourced from or custommade in South Africa and Semerang in Indonesia.The artworks
and accessories were sourced from all over Africa.We found
the beautiful capulanas (the Mozambican term for the wax
print fabrics) at a market in Pemba, and had them stretched
and framed. A lot of care and attention to detail went into the
design of the lighting, and the lights were mostly custom-made
for the island – from the white and colourful woven pendants
in the main building to the glazed ceramic wall lights that can
be seen throughout the resort.
What was the inspiration behind the colour palette?
Firstly, the warmth and vibrancy of the Mozambican people
and their culture, and secondly, the beautiful beaches and
hypnotic waters that surround you.We wanted to brighten
everything up, so we added vibrancy and playfulness while still
keeping it feeling calm and relaxed.We worked with a base of
warm whites and aquas, and layered onto that darker blues, soft
greens and hints of red throughout.

sell a wide selection of wooden carvings, bowls and leather bracelets.

Visitors to
Jo’burg say
it’s one of
the most
exciting cities
in the world
– something
its residents
tend to forget.
Here’s how to
get the most
out of Egoli
this winter
By GrAhAm WOOd
L
ast year Johannesburg was listed as
No 1 in The Rough Guide’s Top 10 Cities
to Visit (internationally).The guide was
looking for, among other things, “the world’s
most exciting places for food and music” and
praised its “exciting cultural hubs… [and]
clusters of forward-thinking museums, galleries
and shops”. British publication GQ named
Jo’burg the “new cool capital of the Southern
Hemisphere” and declared that it has “one
of the world’s most exciting theatre, art and
music scenes”. Last year, the UK’s edition of
The Times also sang the praises of Jozi’s “cool
bars, boutique hotels, trendy shops and foodie
markets”. And in 2014, the Wall Street Journal
named Jo’burg as one of “Four Emerging Art
Cities You Should Know”.
The message? If you’re spending winter
cuddled up on the couch under a blanket,
you’re missing out. One of the world’s most
vibrant and exciting cities is on your doorstep.
Here’s your guide to the best of what’s
happening in it this season.
FOOD AND SHOPPING MARKETS
What’s really put Jo’burg on the map and
got excited visitors from around the world
streaming into the city are its miraculous nodes
of urban revival: Braamfontein, Maboneng
and Newtown. Head out to one or all of
them, stroll through the streets, hang out in
the cafés and restaurants, visit the galleries and
browse the trendy and unique shops. Best of
all, explore each one’s fabulous food and craft
market, where you can also enjoy music and
other performing arts and soak up the eclectic,
gregarious vibe.
These markets take place both
during the week and over weekends:
the Neighbourgoods Market (www.
neighbourgoodsmarket.co.za) on a Saturday
in Braamfontein and the Market on Main
(www.marketonmain.co.za) at Arts on Main
in miraculous Maboneng on Sunday.The
Sheds@1Fox (www.1fox.co.za) precinct has a
selection of food stalls from Tuesday-Saturday,
but the place really comes alive on Friday
night and Saturday with the Joziburg Market
(www.joziburgmarket.co.za).
The newest and sleekest kid on the block,
distinguished by its upmarket local fashion
angle, is Work Shop Newtown (WSNT)
(www.workshopnewtown.com) at the
relatively new Newtown Junction mall, where
century-old railway sheds have been lovingly
preserved and restored.WSNT is packed with
high-end local designs, accessories and art, and
has a great Afro-Asian dim sum place called
TOWN. It’s also very accessible – simply hop
across the Nelson Mandela Bridge, do a dogleg
and you’re at the underground parking for
Newtown Junction.
On the other side of town, the Fourways
Farmers’ Market (www.ffmarket.co.za)
is open on Sundays from 9am-4pm
and offers excellent craft fare, food and
performances by local musicians. UPMARKET DOWNTIME
For a posh and thrilling day out, the Waterfall
Polo Estate is the place to be. Catch exciting
fixtures such as the Prince of Wales Cup
from 12-14 August and the annual major
event, the BMW International Polo Series
on Sunday, 4 September. This year it’s
against Uruguay. Go see and be seen!

If it’s mainstrean shopping you’re after, there

ART WORTH VIEWING
In winter, Jo’burg’s reputation for art comes to the fore.
A staple on any art-lover’s calendar is the Nirox Winter
Sculpture Fair (www.wintersculpturefair.co.za) from
7-8 May, when the rolling green landscape of the
sculpture park in the Cradle of Humankind is filled with
works and you can soak up the glorious Highveld sunshine
in beautiful surroundings, with great wine, food and
imaginative miracles. Book early – it sells out fast.
If the weather isn’t great, there are many indoor
exhibitions to visit. One that has everyone talking this
winter is Henri Matisse: Rhythm and Meaning at the
Standard Bank Gallery (www.standardbankarts.com), which
runs from 13 July-17 September. It’s the first time this
great Impressionist’s work has been shown in SA like this
and his works are bright, brilliant and uplifting.
At the Wits Art Museum (www.wits.ac.za/wam),
there’ll be I Invented Myself:The Five Lives of Walter
Battiss, a retrospective of SA’s own most famous modernist.
It will feature over 500 works and the event will include
the launching of a Walter Battiss Research Centre at the
museum. It runs from 6 July-9 October.
Back in 2009, a Matisse sold for a record-breaking
€32,1 million (R543,49 million). But not to worry –
there’s also affordable art out there.The Turbine Art
Fair (www.turbineartfair.co.za) at the beautifully restored
Turbine Hall in Newtown offers works priced under
R40 000, including some costing just a grand or two.
There’s also glorious food and a kids’ area. It’s on from
14-17 July.
The Joburg Art Fair (www.fnbjoburgartfair.co.za)
was the one that kick-started most other South African
art fairs and helped inject energy into the local art scene.

need and budget – but only one supermall. Waterfall’s
Mall of Africa is the largest single-phase shopping centre
in the country.
And if you’re seeking small, urban redevelopments where
you can find Jozi gems you wouldn’t obtain anywhere
else, head to 44 Stanley in Milpark (www.44stanley.
co.za), which offers food, design, fashion and music, and
was arguably the first successful experiment in mixed-use
urban reinvention in the city.The same developers were
responsible for transforming Kramerville’s 6 Desmond
Street from an industrial area into a hub of local decor
and design. In Norwood, The Factory on Grant
(www.thefactoryongrant.co.za) has revived shopping in
the area with a similar model offering a colourful, vibey
mix of arts, crafts, design and music.

It still delivers the goods. It takes place at the Sandton
Convention Centre from 9-11 September.
But you don’t have to wait for a major fair or
travelling exhibition to get your art fix. First Thursdays
(www.first-thursdays.co.za/johannesburg) take place
on the first Thursday of each month. All the galleries
in Braamfontein, Rosebank and Newtown stay open
until late, as do many cafés and restaurants. It’s a great
nocturnal art trawl.
MUSIC AND THEATRE
Jo’burg’s world-famous Market Theatre in Newtown
was the primary showcase for protest and avant-garde
works during the apartheid era.Today it retains its
proud legacy of innovative drama and includes smaller
stages where up-and-coming talents can perform
their works. In Braamfontein, the Joburg Theatre
(www.joburgtheatre.com) offers everything from ballet
and poetry to children’s productions. On the other
side of the scale, in Maboneng, the POPArt Theatre
(www.popartcentre.co.za) has injected new energy into
the scene.
Jozi’s music scene has plenty to offer too.This season it
includes concerts by international artists such as Mariah
Carey, Seal, Iron Maiden, Chris de Burgh, George Benson
and Josh Groban.There are also regular performances you
can catch, from opera to house. If you’re a jazz baby, don’t
miss visiting The Orbit in Braamfontein (www.theorbit.
co.za), probably the finest and most exciting jazz venue
in the country, with a weekly line-up of major local and
international artists, as well as great food. The Bassline
(www.bassline.co.za) in Newtown also hosts good Afrojazz and blues. And if it’s traditional, big-band jazz you
crave, head to the legendary Radium Beer Hall (www.
theradium.co.za) in Orange Grove, where you can also
enjoy one of the best steaks in the city.
Jo’burg also hosts a variety of music festivals
throughout the year, including the world-famous Joy of
Jazz each September at the Sandton
Convention Centre.
MUSEUMS
While tourist guides might praise our “forward-thinking
museums”, locals tend to delay visiting them, assuming they’ll
be there forever, so there’s no rush. However, visiting them is
a great way to explore or reconnect with the city’s roots and
heritage. The Apartheid Museum (www.apartheidmuseum.
org) in Gold Reef City is an architectural wonder, designed
to bring SA’s brutal past to bear for the present generation
in truthful, thoughtful and powerful ways. Constitution
Hill (www.constitutionhill.org.za) in Braamfontein – which
includes the notorious Fort, where many of the country’s
male and female political prisoners were incarcerated – is
another site which has transformed former oppression into
an uplifting celebration of freedom.Today the complex
includes a spectacular art collection and, as the home of
SA’s Constitutional Court, is SA’s most important symbol of
democracy and diversity.
Another heritage site which is both profoundly moving and
symbolically powerful is Liliesleaf Farm (www.liliesleaf.co.za)
in Rivonia. Once the nerve centre of SA’s liberation struggle,
it was also where many of the Rivonia Trialists were captured.
Today it includes a museum and conference centre.
TOURS WORTH TAKING
Perhaps the best way to reconnect with Jozi is by going for a
walk or a bike ride, immersing yourself in the sights and sounds
of the streets. Past Experiences (www.pastexperiences.co.za)
offers walking tours of the inner city with a lot of fascinating
information, from its history and architecture to its graffiti.
Gerald Garner, author of the must-have Joburg Places &
Spaces (David Krut) and the man behind Sheds@1Fox, leads
regular tours through historical and regenerated Jo’burg (www.
joburgplaces.com/tours). Alternatively, cycle through Soweto
with Soweto Bicycle Tours (www.sowetobicycletours.com)
for a fascinating perspective of its history and culture.

When do you serve breakfast? We
serve breakfast from 7am-12.30pm
from Monday-Saturday and from
8am-12.30pm on Sundays
What’s your favourite breakfast dish?
I can’t choose a specific one. It’s a toss-up
between properly done classics like our Benedicts,
the Mediterranean breakfast (which is more rustic and has
forno [oven-baked] flavours) or the delicious and healthy
avocado toastie.
What can we expect to see on your breakfast menu?
* Mediterranean breakfast: Delicious, forno-baked health loaf
filled with marinated feta, caramelised onions, rosa tomatoes
and grilled mushrooms, topped with mozzarella cheese.
* Eggs Benedict:Traditional poached eggs with hickory ham,
topped with homemade Hollandaise sauce.
* Avocado toastie: A healthy helping of grilled double-health loaf
with fresh avocado, sumac-marinated tomatoes, radishes and
fresh coriander.
It’s hearty and healthy food enjoyed in a sumptuous,
inviting environment.

food to take away.
Tell us about your favourite options. Everything on our menu is
freshly made in our own kitchen and delicious. Pushed to choose, I’d
probably go for a freshly squeezed juice with a hot breakfast dish, or
perhaps one of our famous cruffins (croissant-style muffins with various
fillings) which, like all our bakery goods, are made with free-range eggs.
I’d definitely combine this with one of our coffees, which are all 100%
African and organic.

Welcome to the

| Winter 2016
by MaNdy COlliNs
ot so long ago, if you needed to meet with someone
for work, you did so in a company meeting room or
boardroom. If you were meeting friends or a first date, you
went to a restaurant or a pub. today, chances are that you’re
going to do those things in a coffee shop.
and no matter what your preference, there’s a coffee brand and
environment for everyone, with Johannesburg probably rivalling Milan
when it comes to the number of coffee shops per capita. In fact, in many
international cities today, it’s not unusual to see several espresso shops and
stands within walking distance of each other or on opposite corners of
the same intersection, with customers being very loyal to the brands of
coffee they prefer. and thank goodness for that – it means more choices,
more variety and, of course, more big players in the café culture. Enter
Starbucks, which – until very recently – South africans could only
experience on overseas trips, joining a legion of great institutions that feed
our caffeine desires.
While it would seem that coffee culture is a fairly new phenomenon, it
actually dates back to 14th-century turkey. In addition, in Western Europe
and the Eastern Mediterranean areas, coffee-houses have long been social,
intellectual and artistic hubs. In the late 17th and 18th centuries, coffeehouses in london were popular meeting places for artists, writers and
socialites, and were also the centres for much political and commercial
activity. Probably not unlike today’s café scenario, only with far fewer
manifestations of the coffee bean, requiring far less coffee terminology.
today, if you can master the café lingo, you’ll ace any coffee shop tinder
date. according to www.coffeereview.com, these are the basic essentials:
GallO iMaGEs/GETTy iMaGEs/isTOCkphOTO
SkINNy,

a healthy heart.” These benefits are apparently due to
the numerous biologically active compounds in coffee,
which include phenolic acids, potassium and caffeine.
Anything to justify our daily fix!
So with the wide variety of places to go, coffee
types to try and brands to order – and whether you’re
chalking up your third espresso to pure pleasure, health
or even social reasons – salut!

THE STARBUCKS STORY
In April this year, Taste holdings, the
South African licence-holder for
Starbucks, opens the first and second
Starbucks outlets in the country in
rosebank and the Mall of Africa.
The Starbucks story began in 1971,
when the company was a roaster and
retailer of whole bean and ground coffee,
tea and spices, with a single store in Seattle’s
pike place Market. It was opened by three
partners who met while they were students at the University of
San francisco: english teacher Jerry baldwin, history teacher Zev
Siegl and writer Gordon bowker. In 1987 the original owners
sold the Starbucks chain to former employee howard Schultz,
who rebranded his Il Giornale coffee outlets as Starbucks and
quickly began to expand.
by 1989, 46 stores existed across the north-west and midwest
and Starbucks was roasting about a million kilograms of coffee
a year. but Schultz wanted to create something bigger than a
coffee roastery, says Carlo Gonzaga, Ceo of Taste holdings. “he
had a vision of what he called a ‘third place’ – one that wasn’t
work or home, but somewhere in between. he wanted to create
an extension of work and home, a concept that’s evolved over
time. We’ve really taken this on board in the design of the South
African stores.”
Starbucks is on the centre’s upper level (shop 2077).
– Carlo Gonzaga

Cappuccino: An espresso drink comprised of one serving
of espresso topped with hot milk and froth.
Espresso: Used to describe both a roast of coffee and a
method of brewing in which hot water is forced under
pressure through a compressed bed of finely ground coffee.
Americano: An espresso lengthened with hot water.
Caffè latte: A serving of espresso combined with about
three times as much hot milk and topped with froth.
Barista: Italian term for a skilful and experienced espresso
bar operator.
Espresso macchiato: A serving of espresso “stained” or
marked with a small quantity of hot, frothy milk.
Babyccino: A drink of frothy milk without coffee (hence
no caffeine).
While pure enjoyment is reason enough to have another
cup, there are also some serious health benefits to coffee.
According to Joseph nordqvist at www.medicalnewstoday.
com: “The potential health benefits associated with
drinking coffee include protecting against type 2 diabetes,
parkinson’s disease and liver diseases, as well as promoting
“Coffee ShopS
Aren’T bArS –
they’re safe places,
providing a good
opportunity for
the youth to
find resonance.”
