Celebrity chef Lorna Maseko whets palates

TV personality and celebrity chef Lorna Maseko is returning to the small screen.

 It has been a while since fans have seen her. She was on the celebrity edition of M-Net's MasterChef SA, she hosted Top Chef SA and then bagged her own cooking show, The Hostess with Lorna Maseko, on SABC3.


And the award-winning cookbook author of Celebrate with Lorna Maseko will once again be doing talking food and tucking into the best of what Mzansi has to offer, on BBC Lifestyle's Homegrown Tastes South Africa.

The new food show offers something different. It looks at everything from gourmet cuisine to urban street food culture.

It also delves deeper by looking at ingredients unique to different regions, sustainability in the food sector and fynbos foraging.

Every place she travels to has an interesting story that celebrates food, flavour and technique.

In each episode, she gleans expert knowledge from a renowned chef and is joined by a celebrity who happily joins her journey of culinary finds. 

Homegrown Tastes South Africa premieres on BBC Lifestyle (DSTV Channel 174) on Wednesday, March 23, at 8pm
