I first noticed Carla Latsky’s work a couple of months ago, wandering through Zeitz MOCAA one morning while we were on holiday in Cape Town.

A few years ago I became obsessed with plant-based dairy alternatives while I was living in Shanghai. The reason for this was the sudden onset of adult acne.

If you haven’t seen Baked Feta Pasta somewhere online lately, then I’m afraid to say you’ve been living under a rock. I’m really not one to jump on the food trend bandwagon for the sake of staying current, but when it comes to quick and easy pasta dishes, I’m game.

Fig & Cherry Cakelette

3rd Feb 2021featured recipe, recipes 

Baking is like therapy for me. The entire act from start to finish brings me an insane amount of joy. When I feel the need for a baking session to clear my head, it’s what comes after that which deters me from starting in the first place.

✨Before & After✨ Made in small batches from q ✨Before & After✨

Made in small batches from quality ingredients, this decadent and highly-addictive Caramelised White Chocolate Sauce is exquisite on ice cream and can be used to decorate cakes and cupcakes. The nature of the ingredients used causes it to harden as it cools, creating a beautiful chocolate shell. 

Available to shop online with nationwide delivery 📦

✨NEW CURATED WALL ART✨ The first time I laid ✨NEW CURATED WALL ART✨

The first time I laid eyes on @littlelatsky’s ‘Resting Bitch Flakes’ at @zeitzmocaa when I was in Cape Town, I knew that I absolutely had to include it as part of my new online store’s Curated Collection. 

Very excited to announce that I’m now selling a few pieces from Little Latsky’s Pretty Average series (scroll to see all four). 

As someone who suffers from serious imposter syndrome and self-doubt, these pieces resonate with me BIG TIME. 

Carla is a South African designer and illustrator who works from home in Woodstock, Cape Town. She has experience designing editorial content, branding small businesses and illustrating. Latsky is her surname, it’s Polish (she isn’t) but most of her friends, teachers and colleagues have used it as a nickname from day 1, which she’s always liked. When Carla isn’t in front of her computer, you’ll find her making accessories, reading local zines or (pre-pandemic) in the crowds at exhibition openings and concerts in the city.

Available in sizes A3 - A0, printed on 230gm premium matte photo paper, framed, delivered and ready to hang. 

Choose from either a box frame in white or a narrow solid wood frame in kiaat, maple or natural.

This Horchata Oat & Fig Bowl is made using homemade Horchata, a delicious rice-based drink originating from Mexico. That paired with oats, fresh figs from @thefigary, @buttanuttspreads Cinnamon Macadamia, raw honey and granola, and you’re in for a banging breakfast bowl 🙌🏼

The NEW @ukonserve_sa (clear as glass) Silicone + The NEW @ukonserve_sa (clear as glass) Silicone + Stainless Steel range of reusable, durable and dishwasher-safe containers are now available to buy in the Pantry section of my online shop (or right here on Instagram if you tap to view the product tag) 🙌🏽

I’m loving them for storing leftovers in the fridge or freezer and for packed picnics, padkos, breakfast and lunches. You won’t ever want another plastic container in your kitchen again after using these.

My love/hate relationship with IG continues as I c My love/hate relationship with IG continues as I constantly battle the algorithm. I’m not alone though! 

Small business owners and content creators with very tiny or non-existent budgets to spend on paid advertising are working extremely hard trying to grow organically. 

It’s not so much about liking and commenting anymore, you need to save and share as well! These two actions are actually now deemed more important than a comment or like according to the IG algorithm. 

So if you’d like to support local, small content creators, brands and business owners, do us a fave and hit that save or share button. It might seem small and trivial but it goes a long way 🙌🏼

THANK FIG IT’S FIGGIN’ FRIDAY! Not sure abou THANK FIG IT’S FIGGIN’ FRIDAY! 

Not sure about you, but this has been one hellish week. We’re going away at the end of the month for a long weekend in the bush and counting the sleeps I’m so desperate. 

Nothing is going as planned. I’ve got suppliers who are out of stock of things I need, am finding suppliers who won’t sell me anything until I can guarantee spending a minimum of R50k a month with them (although, goals) and just generally feeling like a lot of the work I’m putting in isn’t going anywhere. Spend portions of my day either wondering why I’m bothering with my own business, or insanely inspired and motivated. It’s exhausting!

I’m definitely ready for the weekend...
