Mzansi home cooks and kitchen creatives, you’ve heeded the quarantine cooking call! And yes, I’m impressed. Honestly, all hats off, because you’ve flooded our socials with your favourite lockdown meals and delicacies.

Food For Mzansi’s followers accepted the challenge to get extra creative in the kitchen during the national lockdown by entering the #FFMLockdownMeals cooking competition. From walkie talkies and prawn curry to cottage pie and pizza, the images alone are mouthwatering.

While you still have a day to enter (hurry on over to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram), we couldn’t resist sharing lifting the lid of the pot for a peeking at the entries we’ve received so far.

What to cook? What to cook? Why not play around with those many potatoes in your cooking pantry like Greshan Madhan, who has made these lovely cottage pies. Presentation is key, so kudos.

Avoid unnecessary drama with the South African Police Service over bread rolls and make magwinya instead. These are now the sandwich replacement of choice according to Christine Saunders.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 11 global awards in the first three years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
