Cape Town's Online Magazine: Discoveries. For Moments of Joy

The Festival of Yellow, celebrating the canola fields

Where to see the flowers & get a free B-well cookbook

Last updated: 9 September 2024

Every year the Western Cape’s canola fields bloom into a dazzling sea of yellow.

And every year our Festival of Yellow celebrates these golden flowers (with a big thanks to B-well for making this possible).

The big surprise in our fourth year is that we’re introducing a theme for the first time: Cooking with Canola.

Probably like you, it took some of us a moment to connect the yellow fields to the cooking oil that’s made from it, and its trove of health benefits.

So we’re sharing the love with the world by giving you a free cookbook and showing you how to cook with it.

And as always, we have a giveaway for you. See more details on the epic weekend getaway giveaway below.
