For the final week of August, we are passing the mic to Zola Nene and her Isinkwa Sommbila and Chakalaka, paired with a Leopard’s Leap 2019 Pinotage.<\/p>\n

SA’s Culinary Sweetheart, Zola Nene<\/h4>\n

Down-to-earth, bubbly, stylish, talented and South Africa\u2019s culinary sweetheart; these are but a few of the many superlatives that describe two-time cookbook author, TV chef and food stylist Zola Nene. With a personality that packs a lot of flavour and an inescapable passion for food, Nene swapped her B Comm Law studies for the invigorating smells of the kitchen. A choice which has led her to a successful culinary career spanning over 10 years.<\/p>\n

With a number of Gourmand World Cookbook awards under her belt and her own TV series, Zola is using her bubbly personality to spread her passion for food all around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zola remembers Gogo’s Isinkwa Sommbila<\/h4>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a>Zola cherishes the memories of her maternal gogo teaching her how to make Isinkwa Sommbila, or steamed mealie bread.<\/p>\n

She would sit me on the kitchen table and show me how to crank her manual hand grinder as she picked the kernels off the mielies before mixing it into a batter and steaming it for hours to form a delicious bread.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zola\u2019s version pays homage to her late grandmother, an excellent cook who instilled in Zola a passion for food and sharing love around the dinner table.<\/p>\n

Pair with …<\/h4>\n

Zola pairs her Isinkwa Sommbila and Chakalaka with the Leopard’s Leap 2019 Pinotage. Pinotage is uniqe to South African and makes for a charming choice when paired with quintessential South Africa flavours. The fruitiness and flexibility pair perfectly with the Chakalaka’s spice and sweetness of the Isinkwa Sommbila.<\/p>\n
