INTERVIEW: Z

Your Full name: Mareli Zaneta Burger - but I don't like Mareli and don't call me that ever!!!!!

What do you do for a living?: I work as a product developer for Leisure Books concentrating on illustrated and children's titles - yeah fun

Your claim to fame: Other than the fact that everyone loves me?

Restaurants you have chosen so far: Poplars and 95 Keerom

What is your favourite restaurant and why?: Hard to say...can't single out one, but any restaurant with a good crème brulee has my vote. If I recall, Veranda's was excellent so I will have to go for Veranda for now :)

What is your favourite food?: I have to say chocolate!  And yes I know it is not widely considered to be food, but hey, rules are made to be broken and I vote chocolate to be food!

Is there anything you don't eat?: I used to hate rice, but started eating it when I was pregnant.  Mmm...I like brussel sprouts and people normally don't eat that... ah allikrik! (don't know how you spell it, but it is a shell fish thingy that Spuy's gran makes and it is horrible!)

Who is your favourite celebrity chef?: Love Jamie!  Not necessarily his cooking, but he is cute and I can watch him for hours!

What is your ideal way of spending a night out?: Friends and lots of drinks...and some eyecandy would be nice. Love dancing and if there are enough drinks it might end up with some dancing!

Name the things you can't live without: Chocolate, lipice, Spuy and Danielle.

Can you cook?  If so what is your signature dish?: I can cook - suppose everyone can, but I just don't enjoy it!!!!!  I make a mean macaroni & cheese, and I make a butternut dish that a) easy b) super fast and c) yummy!

What is your favourite cocktail?: Anything creamy will do

If they were too name a cocktail after you, what would be in it and what would it be called?: Yikes...can't think right now...  Would definitely have lots of creamy liquor in it .....  can I come back to you on this one...have to think long and hard! And since I can't make up my mind as to what will be in it, it will be called "indecisive"
