Karen Dudley’s fifth recipe book, Upwards, coincides with a new offering at Marble Cape Town – the city’s temple to live-fire cooking. Forget the dusty crackers and uninspired bries of the past. Marble has unveiled a reimagined cheese and wine menu that feels less like a course and more like a curated gallery of South African soul.

A culinary icon synonymous with Cape flavour, Dudley has infused the experience with a playful, “naughty-but-nice” energy inspired by the region’s Cape Malay roots.
