Whats for dinner? J’Something has all the answers
Knorr is continually striving to make simple home cooking an integral part of every South African family’s routine. Knorr, J’Something and a range of top South African celebrities will bring these simple and delicious recipes to busy Moms (and Dads!) across SA with a weekly TV show called Knorr Whatsfordinner? with J’Something. Catch it every Saturday at 7pm on SABC 3. Here’s what the SoulProviders team wanted to know from J’Something… Angie: What’s the worst dish you’ve ever eaten, and who cooked it? Did you eat all of it or try hide it? Not going to mention names, but I’ve had some horrible experiences. I once went to a friend’s house and it was a traditional cabbage poitjie, not my vibe at all but I had it. I took my time, I won’t lie. Andy: What do you love most about cooking? Plating :). I love making food look appealing. I also just love cooking and zoning out, thinking about life around all my favorite flavours. Lindelwa: How would you describe the experience of sharing an intimate space (kitchen) with strangers? It’s been an AMAZING experience, honestly! Just meeting all these incredible moms and women has been nothing short of incredible. There were so many different characters and ways of cooking. Cooking with these women has really had a huge impact on me. It made me appreciate the moments so much more. Andy: If you could pick ONE, what would be your favourite, most versatile ingredient to cook with? Knorr Dry Cook in Sauce Spaghetti Bolognaise. That product is incredible! Lindelwa: What’s the most interesting dish you’ve ever made that is a blend of South African and Portuguese cuisine? Umngqusho alla feijoada. Go watch the first episode of my first-ever cooking show Something’s Cooking on YouTube. It was DELICIOUS! Nos: Do you see yourself quitting music in the future to pursue your love of cooking? NEVER! I wouldn’t be able to cook if I couldn’t sing; singing is what makes my heart beat. Ingrid: What advice would you have for someone who doesn’t like cooking at all, to motivate him or her to get involved in the kitchen? Make cooking an event, a moment. I always find that gets me more excited. So create a theme around it, and if you don’t cook, it’s going to be even more of a moment for your guests/family/friends. So, if it’s eating with Ingrid night your friends/family will be so excited and possibly nervous...

An extraordinary musical experience brought to you by Nakhane Toure, Moonchild and Johnny Cradle
Over the years, the Eastern Cape has given us a number of great musicians. And now out of that comes the new breed; a bunch of musicians who are informed by their tradition, but who are not afraid to look outside. On the 26th of June, Monchhichi, on 23 Fox Street in Downtown Johannesburg, will be hosting three of these musicians: Nakhane Toure, Moonchild Sannelly and Johnny Cradle. SAMA winner for Best Alternative album, Nakhane Toure was born in Alice and raised predominately in Port Elizabeth. His debut album, Brave Confusion owes as much to traditional African music as it does to recent Alternative music, ‘60s soul and ‘70s jazz. He may have taken the name Touré in homage to his idol Ali Farka Touré, but he is as likely to cite Morrissey, Nina Simone, Black Flag or Radiohead as influences. And he’ll as often pluck the strings of an acoustic guitar as play electric rock riffs or slinky, Prince-style funk. Nakhane will also be performing a few songs from his upcoming second album. Moonchild Sannelly, the “Future-ghetto-funk”, blue headed girl was born in Port Elizabeth. Having being raised by a mother whose independence was ahead of her time, she possessed an unstoppable will with whatever she put her mind on. She studied fashion in Durban before turning her talents to music. Performing at myriad festivals in Kwa-Zulu Natal, she decided to relocate to Johannesburg where she started collaborating with the likes of Tshepang Ramoba (who eventually produced her debut album Rabulapha), Thandiswa Mazwai and Toya DeLazy. She has gone on to score chart hits with her singles ‘Rabubi’ and ‘Cut the Cake’. Johnny Cradle (known to his friends as Sakie) has been making waves with a genre he has dubbed Roots Electro. His bio stipulates his disdain for convention. In this otherworldly music he summons elements from a myriad of musical styles. Born and bred in the Eastern Cape, his minimalist style has brought him to the attention of established media like Okay Africa where he said that his music is “the journey of the DIY artist person of this day. I couldn’t afford tertiary education but have made a career in illustration with work for all the top banks and companies in the country. The I do it from my own pocket and knowledge write your music, play it, record it, shoot it, edit it and deliver it f#ck ‘em all do it attitude.” EVENT DETAILS Date: 26th June 2015 Venue: Monchhichi Address: 23 Fox Street, Downtown JHB (opposite Magistrate’s Court) Time: Doors open at 20:00. First performance at 21:00 Entrance Fee: R100 (pre-sale tickets & before 22:00), R120...
