FOOD: Christmas Cakes get a glow up for the season

Lunch with Pippa Hudson

About

Pippa Hudson speaks to chef Mynhardt Joubert about his annual festive cakes, which have become the stuff of legends, bulging with decadent dried fruit and nuts and the warming aromas of Christmas spices and brandy.

Lunch with Pippa Hudson is CapeTalk’s mid-afternoon show. 

This 2-hour respite from hard news encourages the audience to take the time to explore, taste, read and reflect. The show - presented by former journalist, baker and water sports enthusiast Pippa Hudson - is unashamedly lifestyle-driven. Popular features include a daily profile interview #OnTheCouch at 1:10 pm. Consumer issues are in the spotlight every Wednesday, while the team also unpacks all things related to health, wealth & the environment.
