Today we feature the sounds of Los Angeles based, South African musician Ashlinn Gray.

Today's interview forms part of our 25@25 series, where we'll be interviewing interesting 25 year old's to get their perspective of South Africa and the world. The reason we're doing so, is because they share a birth year with CapeTalk, which first went to air in October 1997.

LEGAL TALK – SECURITY GUARDS In Legal Talk today I want to pick up on a query raised by a Cape Talk listener. They asked for input on the legality of private citizens hiring their own security guards to keep watch on their streets.

OTTOLENGHI

What a treat to be able to share with you a new cookbook from one of the world’s most acclaimed and influential chefs, a man who has built a food empire since the early days of opening his first delicatessen in London.

The name Yotam Ottolenghi is synonymous with clean, fresh flavours that sing of his Middle Eastern upbringing, and for plates that can elevate even the most humble vegetable into a work of food art. Not only has he published multiple best-selling cookbooks, he has also set up the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen where his team continuously tests, refines and creates new dishes for his 7 resturants and deli outlets.

The latest cookbook is a product of that test kitchen, written in tandem with chef Noor Murad who heads up the team there. It’s called Extra Good Things and it is a celebration of the little something extra that lifts a dish from merely good to great. Think amazing sauces, pickles, sprinkles and salsas, and you’re on the right page. The book offers a collection of over 70 of these, with recipes featuring them across sweet and savoury dishes

CARTE BLANCHE

As someone who spent a LOT of my school years standing in the choir stalls, I’ve always been interested in the stories coming out of the Drakensberg Boys Choir School. It’s an institution in South Africa, created in 1967 and producing the highest calibre of male choristers ever since. A few of my own friends had the privilege of studying there, and all spoke of not just the joy of the wonderful music they made together, but the deep bonds of friendship that were formed between the boys.

There was a lovely example shared on Carte Blanche last night as producer Liz Fish took viewers into the school to meet two young pupils from very different backgrounds, who have found a sense of sanctuary at the school.
