Summer time eating, for me, equals delighting in light and fresh morsels in beautiful, sun-dappled surrounds, preferably with a glass of wine in hand. Luckily we are spoilt for choice when it comes to summer time dining options in the Cape. This week we bring you three: Leigh Andrews reviews Allée Bleue's chic summer picnic; while Louise Marsland samples the new Spanish style summer tapas menu at Steenberg's Bistro Sixteen82; and I report back on the innovative and fresh new menu at The Kitchen at Maison.

In other top story news we interview Toya Delazy about her musical direction shift and recent African tour.

One of the nicest events for a picnic, the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts, are back and we have two tickets up for grabs for the first concert of the season featuring Jimmy Nevis!

Happy weekend all, lets not get too down in the 'trumps'.
