KitchenCOZA - a webshow about the culinary world of South Africa!

update (06 Oct 2015): Pick n Pay has uploaded the first episode of the second season of KitchenCoZA. Farm-styled Pumpkin Fritters! Yum!

One of the largest supermarket chains in South Africa, Pick n Pay, has started a web cooking show about traditional South African dishes on YouTube in May 2015. The show, hosted by Lentswe Benghu (Africa on a Plate!) and his colleagues Sue Ann and Alet (Tiaan in season two), features typical recipes such as Oxtail Potjie, Chakalaka, Koeksisters, Chicken Biryani and many more. Watching the episodes you get step-by-step instructions on how to cook the particular dishes as well as a link to the full recipe and a list of all ingredients. Some of the ingredients might not be available at stores outside South Africa, but I am sure that - with some imagination and improvisation - you can easily replace most of the spice mixes, ready mades and Pick n Pay-labelled products. If not, feel free to ask and we try to find it out for you!

South Africa: Four new episodes of "Africa on a plate"

update (04 March 2013): I had a chat with the dudes from "Africa on a plate" over the weekend. Their show will get hosted on mweb.co.za from the 11 March 2013 and another 12 episodes are in the making! Awesome!

Do you remember the webseries "Africa on a plate" with host/chef Lentswe Bhengu? Well, Lentswe and team are back with a couple of new episodes. I just stumpled on a trailer for season one (!?!?), as well as about four new episodes. It also seems that "Africa on a plate" will soon be a regular web show on mweb.co.za. Anyway, enjoy the four new episodes filmed at the Tokai EarthFair Food Market, at Madame Zingara's "The Sidewalk Cafe", at the Vergelegen Wine Estate and at Josephine's Cookhouse. We will keep you posted as soon as we know a little more about the future plans of the webseries "exploring the wild & real culinary world of Africa".
