It is a time for me to get all wrapped up in my favorite things. Talking of favorite things. My lifelong dream of writing a cookbook came true for me this …

The excitement is almost tangible as my dream finally comes to fruition. Boardroom to the Kitchen with Nomfundo Mcoyi, a cookbook of easy to prepare recipes, is in the process of being published.

My dream of turning my cookbook into a reality

Posted on 6th Oct 20206th Oct 2020 by Editor

My love for food and cooking started at an early age. When I attended primary school, I lived in Richmond, KwaZulu Natal, with my grandmother’s cousin and her husband – KwaNtshangase.

It was a meal that I cooked with great care and took pride in creating. I think that it was at this moment where my love affa…
