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 J.
