Justin Bonello - SA's favourite foodie

Much-loved local boytjie and SA's best-known TV foodie,Justin Bonello, is on the hunt for really good food.

As a presenter and producer of international hit television series Cooked, Getaway to Africa and Exploring the Vine, Justin Bonello has combined his three favourite things – Southern Africa, food and friends – into his daily work…if you can call it that.

With his earliest kitchen memories dating back to his grandmother teaching him to make pancakes, Justin insists he is not a chef, but a cook – “an average Joe with a passion for life, love, food and my friends.”

If you’ve watched any of his Cooked TV series or read his best-selling book Cooked in Africa, you’ll know how passionate he is about good food and good times.

JUSTIN'S SEARCH FOR GOOD FOOD

Right now Justin is filming Cooked V Living Free across the country - read his blog as he goes from farm to farm. At the same time he is joined by Aussie Bill Granger as they hunt for good food around Southern Africa.

They are discovering Farming for the Future in Limpopo, braaiing in the Kruger National park, visiting an Ayrshire Dairy in the Natal Midlands and trying out free-range steak in Namibia.

From 2 June until 7 August we'll be following them as they traverse the country, and we'd love you to join them on their journey, learning, as they do, why Woolworths' food is good for you, and good for the planet.

For more on Justin, visit www.cookedinAfrica.com. You can also download a map of his trip here. You will need to have the Adobe® Acrobat® Reader™ plug-in installed in your browser, though. If you don't have the plug-in, you can download it for free.

PS: Justin will be stying connected with Blackberry and MTN.
