@FrysFamily Vegetarian Event @ Capsicum Culinary Studio, Johannesburg

Hi Guys,

Recently, I was invited to experience something I always wanted to learn. It was an introduction session to cooking Fry's Family products by Chef Candice-Lee Clark. The evening included an interactive cooking session instructed by the Chef along with enjoying the scrumptious vegetarian meals, we prepared using Fry's range of products.

Here is the amazing Veg Chicken-Style Burgers served to all the invitees. They tasted amazingly good with a slice of pineapple over a bun and Fry's Meat Free Burgers.

The venue for this event was Capsicum Culinary Studio in Johannesburg which is also in 5 other locations namely Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria and others.Follow them on twitter, facebook & instagram.

The Chef Candice-Lee taking all of us through some of the best cooking sessions and lessons for life. We were all given the same amount of ingredients and instructions to cook and present our dishes.

Here is my first dish made using Fry's Cruspy Prawns cooked in Coconut curry, Chick peas along with some rice and wrap.

The second round was to make salad using all the veggies available along with Fry's Chicken Style Strips. I used avocado to make the DOME and won a party for me and my 9 friends fully sponsored by the Fry's at my own house. They also gifted us with amazing range of Fry's products to make them at home along with a Fry's recipe book.

I really loved the amazing session and learnt a lot to cook Fry's food in the fastest possible time. Follow them on instagram, twitter, facebook, Pinterest, and website.

George Ferreira, VP & COO, Samsung Electronics Africa took the guests through some of the amazing services offered by Samsung on it's mobile products. He reiterated the fact that 10% broadband penetration helps to grow GDP by 1%. Samsung is driving Africa's Digital Economy along with Enhancing lives by giving world class service and Apps.

Robert Ngeru, Vice President, Samsung Electronics East Africa took the esteemed guests and invitees through all the features of the new Note 4. Chris Hopkirk, Sales Director Mobile Communication, Samsung Electronics South Africa also showcased some of the features live on stage.

Photo Note is the new way to take notes. This feature has really made the S Pen equivalent to PC mouse.

@SamsungMobileSA - GALAXY Note 4 #Media #Launch #CapeTown

Hi Guys,

Samsung Electronics South Africa launched their latest Galaxy phablet Note 4. They continued the trend of making powerful, sleek and intelligent devices packed with all the amazing features. In South Africa, GALAXY Note series is always launched in Cape Town and this time I was lucky enough to be at the launch event in the mother city. Dr. Michelle Potgieter, Director - Corporate Marketing and Communication welcomed all the media invitees and answered all the questions.

In 2011, Samsung invented an entirely new smartphone concept with the Samsung GALAXY Note, igniting the trend towards phablets (phone and tablet blend).

This 1.4 GHz dual core device ran Android Gingerbread, had an 8 megapixel camera, 5.3 inch WXGA HD screen and weighed a mere 178g. This was a huge risk but it paid off in the long run.

The Samsung GALAXY Note 2 boasted an impressive 5.5 inch HD screen, Android Jelly Bean, a 1.6 GHz quad core processor and an improved battery life when it was launched in 2012.

GALAXY Note 3 was an impressive 5.7 inches Full HD screen and the camera boasted 13 megapixels and the processor was 2.3 GHz quad-core and weighed a mere 168g. 5 million units were sold in just one month of it's launch.

One of the features that everyone really appreciates is the S Pen, as it maximizes the usability of the large screen and makes it even easier for the user to access features and functions on the go. The GALAXY Note 3 saw the arrival of the Air Command feature, whereby one can execute five major functions through intuitive taps and movements of the S Pen, as well as access to Action Memo, Scrapbook and Screen Write. This is what separates other phablets from Samsung's technology.

GALAXY Note 4 has been launched with a powerful combination of productivity and performance, with a 5.7 inch Quad HD screen, 16-megapixel camera, Android KitKat, a 2.7 GHz quad-core processor and an impressive battery life.

This new phablet is compatible with the Samsung GEAR S, Samsung’s next-generation smartwatch, which extends the features and applications of the GALAXY Note 4 and allows the user even more flexibility and freedom. This time Samsung launched the Note 4 device with accessories in collaboration with Mont Blanc and Swarovski to suit the tastes of niche segment.

Once you are hooked to a big-screen phablet and Note environment or ecosystem, you can never use any other product. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is definitely a device to go for and I really wanted the same for myself asap. Follow them on twitter and facebook.

Cheers!!!
