My name isana and I’m the food editor for drama magazine which means I literally cook for a living in the next few weeks you and I yes that means you and me will get to meet some of the most famous faces in Mani will hear what they love to eat or
Not eat and learn to cook their favorite recipes but with a little bit of a Twist [Applause] hi my name is imp and I’m a musician born and B in South Africa I tend to see cooking as an artistic form of expression as much as my music is it’s got to be perfect and it’s got to be entirely my own recipe I’m not a person
Who is Big on using recipe books the food must Feit more than the person it must also fit the soul I absolutely love prawns in every form so today um I had asked s to make me a prawn salad but I think that she’s Twisted the recipe a little bit so I
Can’t wait to see what she’s got for me one thing simpu and I have in common is that we are both from the Eastern cave I cannot sing as nice as her but both of us love to entertain well I like to cook occasionally and I like to cook for a
Lot of people depending on the mood that you’re in yeah I hope you’re in a cooking mood today we’re going to make some PRS with a sweet chili jam I love PRS yes at least I have one thing right going to make a very nice marinade for
The PRS we’ve got some honey garlic and ginger some soy sauce and the lemon juice and I’ll show you what to do with the sticks we’re going to put it on a stick and then pour the marinade over the porns so I just put in everything
And I just and then you just whisk it together so but before you do that let me show you how to put the prawns together so how would you make your own prawns at home well I like my prawns uncooked most of the time because then they retain all the flavors they’re very
Sensitive you know you cook them for 5 minutes they get dry they’re overcooked already you know and I think um all the nutrients and all the taste is actually in in the uncooked one in the uncooked on oh but where did you get that I know
She travels quite a lot maybe she got it in M or wherever did you did you get that like uncooked Pon I have no idea you know but what I do know is that the best prawns so far in all my travels come from mamb mozek go to mozek all
Right five so you will do the rest like that and then you’ll just pour the sauce over the lemon juice garlic and ginger soy sauce and the honey I’m now making the chili jam that we will serve with the beautiful PRS that we’re making I have garlic and ginger and what
Are you cooking in is it all butter or no no it’s olive oil no butter I hardly use any butter in my cooking I love butter is it for what for mainly desserts or no for cooking for cooking peppers I try to cook with olive oil cuz
My boyfriend prefers it it’s healthy I guess it’s good to cook with someone that you love well with wouldn’t be the word I would use cuz he doesn’t cook I’m the now we’ll add this baby tomatoes the Onion I’m not really good at following recipes I just I just do my own thing bit of chili usually people who don’t work up from recipes are very good Cooks so that says that says something about your cooking well I’ve had my hits and misses what can I say add my brown
Sugar and after that my balsamic vinegar it’s very much similar to Soy Sauce but if you don’t have it you can also use red wine vinegar or just normal Brown vinegar I grew up in a Township and one thing that I’ve always wanted to have simp is
Growing up in the rural areas you know actually the funny thing is that when I was a child I wanted to be a Township girl you know all the convenience of living in the city uh television electricity running water and as I grow up I actually like realized what
Privilege it was it was for me to grow up in the rural areas we grew up thinking that there’s nothing that we can’t do which is quite for me was something quite privileged and then also we we ate healthily we didn’t have that much sugar we didn’t eat that much meat
Well every time I used to go to like what we call it my grandparents would Slaughter like chickens and stuff so I thought that was like meat was eaten every no that was how it was done they was Slaughter because it’s a special occasion you see because you yes you
Know and then the next time they would Slaughter would be a month later kind of a thing you know and I mean even the eggs the kids didn’t eat eggs it was the adults who ate Eggs only so so sometimes we’ go in there and steal the eggs in
The chicken C because we wanted some but we had so much fun you know like we would go out and get wild fruit from the forest you know today like in in my music I’m very much Pro Africa because I realize the beauty of how we do things
As Africans I know your third album has come and I’m dying to hear something not on radio but you singing in my kitchen I’ll send you a c you can’t treat me like that just one just one okay let me think about it think maybe dessert time she would have
Thought of something maybe okay and then I’m just going to pour this sauce Li Li over my PRS though I’m not a liberal everything is in now for the jam and we’re just going to let it simmer for a while up until it’s nicely cooked and
After that we’re going to blend it sure you have kids at home always make sure that the handle is not like this cuz you can just knock it over and it might fall the handle must always be on the side okay so if you do walk the pan doesn’t
Fall over zazi that’s my daughter she’s seven and she wants to cook with me I cook but I try to keep her away from the fire cuz I’m worried that something might happen might happen I’m one of those worry words as a parent you know
And my son Pao is five he doesn’t mind staying away from the kitchen such a boy yeah it’s like it’s okay Mommy I won’t be in the kitchen the meaning of of his name has been lost but Pao was um the first king I guess we can tell my
Aspirations for my for your son most African names if not all of them have a meaning simpure means the one who’s been given to us is sh for oh we are beautiful we are beautiful shall I step back you can you must be really careful doing this because it’s cooked sugar
Caramelized and should you burn that would be a horrible one we done this is how it must look the dip took longer than the PRS it’s all about the sauce people it’s a bit darker it’s because we use balsamic vinegar but if you were to use normal
Vinegar or any other vinegar then it would be slightly lighter perhaps if you like and now let’s go to our prawns I thought the PRS were done PRS no you’re not having them they’re perfect for just for me just for me let’s do them we’re using a grill pan so you want
To give it a very nice almost like bride effect yeah let’s try one if I’m wrong only if you try first they have to be cooked come on try it okay let me try you only need once here you [Laughter] go oh no you didn’t like it I don’t like it it’s an acquired taste it’s like snails I don’t like snails just something very wrong about eating a sale For is really daring and different it’s really not a rumor I’ve experienced It let’s use the tongs now it’s my turn to DARE oh please it’s not even a dare I can eat FS when they’re cooked too I like them in all all forms all forms definitely thank you just don’t burn yourself yeah let’s wait for it
To it’s hot good I think they cooked now she does not need to kill them so let’s remove it okay let’s taste M you like they’re perfect can take all of them home would you like another one uh I would love another one but I don’t want everyone to see how much I
Eat so let going [Applause] Enjoy I propos to Saba that uh we make a dish with lentils today I started really appreciating lentils when I was a vegetarian I’m not the one who likes to have those veggie petties that they make that look like meat I prefer to just have another alternative
That had nothing to do or didn’t even look like meat so that is when I Started Loving lenticles cuz they’re a great source of protein as well I’m looking forward to see what she’s got for Me I know you love cuscus but I decided to actually use po instead of the couscous and she loves lentils as well so I’m going to have a beautiful sauce that I’m going to make with tomatoes and so on but with lentils in them okay don’t worry I love Penta absolutely oh
As well yes I do that’s good so you will help me with drizzling all the ingredients that go with the veggies it will be a roast as you can see we’ve got some honey some cumin seeds some oil a little bit of salt and pepper for taste
So you can do that for me and I will do the penta okay very problem I have here boiling water and I’m going to add POA it’s an Italian staple is very similar to PB slightly softer than PB than PB PB basically yellow P Italian PB
It’s just as Italian but it’s still PB still PB it’s like we call here sparkling white wine sparkling white wine and they call it champagne in France but it’s still the same thing isn’t it yeah yeah the trick to this a stirring like you would po up to make
Sure that we don’t have any lumps you can actually buy a already made one but it’s nice to actually see how it’s made from scratch and also because you’re going to add extra ingredients to it it’s much better to make your own One come on so what we do now is we add I prepared mustard this is the whole grein one and it gives it such a nice taste not only that but it gives it a beautiful color and texture once it’s all mixed up okay you will see just now smell
That M it smells lovely it looks even better tell me what you need the butter and then the cheese oh so you do use butter after all after all certain things yes go you can’t do away with butter hey okay now we just have the smelly cheese they say uh it’s actually
Better to buy parmesan cheese and Grate yourself than buying the already grated one cuz apparently you lose the flavor if you buy the ungrated the grated one so we pour this in parmeson gives a very nice taste what we do is we take this we line the dish with clean wrap then we
Pour it over put it in the fridge okay and it chills and then it sits obviously will see if it’s chilled I’ve already done that P isn’t that called cheating it’s called Magic called Magic okay cool yeah this is what we do I know you guys don’t really have
Much time so I have to be you know on the Run okay so we going to cut this into long Fingers then how you measure it is that you take this one and you put it on top of the other to make sure that they’re the same size so you try are you a perfectionist simp I can see that way you’re cutting it’s so perfect uh yeah I do suffer from that
Disease what can I say and and and how do you handle it do you get an Noy when people don’t do things you know the way you would have liked well if I can’t get people to do things the way I’d like I just prefer to do them
Myself then you end up doing everything exactly I knew that and cut it in half cut it in half can make it perfect squares by cutting off the edges as well seems like you perfectionist too okay I won’t lie sometimes only sometimes but now Can I taste now is it ready to taste
It even taste like pup it even tastes like pup yeah we’re still going to fry this then after that going to roast the vegetables and then you serve it with the sauce but why it’s perfect now as is it’s not deep fit frying it’s just on the sides just to make it nice
And crispy on theid on The Griddle you can make it on the griddle she clever you can make it on the griddle or you can make it in a normal pan but this time I’m going to use a normal pan okay shall I bring the veggies oh yeah it’s
Perfect timing for the veg out put the v in oh are God I’m so D I’m thinking we’re putting them in there then there no they’re roasting oh and then one thank you maybe one more not anym otherwise won’t be able to turn it okay now where
Do the lentils and the tomorrow the Tom go this is going to be almost like a starch then we have the vegetables then we top it off with the sauce can you see what I was talking about yeah I wanted that beautiful when I used to be a vegetarian
I ate lentil almost every day why did you stop why did I stop being vegetarian you miss meat no I pregnancy a you crave for meat yes with your second child my first one or with your first one oh all right cool this is now done and now for
My favorite the sauce we’ve got garlic and ginger which we frying in olive oil and my smoked paprika which gives it a beautiful reddish color it’s quite similar simpure as you say to cane pepper yeah but it it it has a different smell all together and it’s not as
Spicy our lentils are actually our proteins for the day instead of meat but you can make this you can add mints to this you can add chicken or anything really and now for the tomatoes do you mind if I would take a little bit of a Penta again again no
Problem just to taste ion even take it just take it you take one and you can taste it with this can just dip it in there but it’s so it’s much nicer though with the vegetables inside well we’ll have that that’s why I just want the
Taste for now cuz I can’t wait you can’t Wait very nice thank you I’ll see you just now see I want to eat off camera she likes eating off camera N I absolutely love chocolate sticky drippy warm over a pudding over fruit I don’t care I just want to have my chocolate in my dessert and I’m not so sure if Saba has chocolate this time around I know you like chocolate but I thought I don’t want to encourage that
So I want to give you a very nice option to rather having chocolate for dessert that’s not fair I mean everything else was so health hey could have indulged now a little bit but you’ll still enjoy it I promise I promise this is a berry soet mhm we have strawberries
Raspberries we can have even more types of berries lemon juice and sugar that’s all you need the berries first while I switch this on you going to cook them yeah come see all right there you go very easy I’m learning Something okay there you go let me add this okay I’m ready to stick it to stick it but you still owe me ah okay no just stick this focus focus she she’s trying to avoid the singing I know I know okay cool okay so I’m blend that up and down
There we go I like this I like this it has a very calming action to it mhm it’s like being in the spa right she’s beginning to enjoy it now put that’s good are you sure yeah I mean I could do some more you want some more go ahead it’s very
