I think this was the first time I was referred to as “former MasterChef SA winner” and technically, it’s not true. The top ten MasterChef SA season 5 contestants are still battling it out and the season’s winner will only be crowned later this year. So until then, I’m going to claim my spot as current MasterChef winner, even though season 4 aired a few years ago.

Recently, Gugu Mhlungu interviewed me on “Weekend Breakfast with Gugu Mhlungu” on 702. If you missed it, you can listen to the recording below. I spoke about the recipes I share here on The Roasted Dad, what it was like to win MasterChef season 4, and what it was like to be back in the studio, but this time without needing to cook! I also shared how I’ve been involved in the current season 5 from the get-go, as my company LED Lighting SA was the lighting sponsor.

The Algoa FM Breakfast Show with Wayne, Lee and Charlie T were adament that even though I have been described as Capetonian in the media, the word needed to get out there, that actually I am Gqeberha-born, even though I am now based in Cape Town.

Recently (April 1st 2022), Bongani Bingwa interviewed me on “Weekend Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa” on 702. If you missed it, you can still listen to the recording. I spoke about my reaction to be winning the competition, the pressure of being a part of it, and what to expect from me in the future.
