Welcome to the first episode of South African Food Stories. Today I sit down with two of the most exciting voices shaping South Africa’s food culture, J Something and Cordelia da Fonseca
J Something is best known as front-man for Micasa, but behind the scenes he has built a powerful presence in the culinary world, blending Portuguese heritage, storytelling, and a deep love of food into everything he does. From restaurants to cookbooks to television, his journey shows how food can be both deeply personal and powerfully cultural. Cordelia brings her own perspective to the table, sharing her passion for food, creativity, and the stories that connect people through what we eat.
Together, the conversation explores identity, heritage, creativity, and the role food plays in shaping who we are. We talk about where inspiration comes from, how food connects communities, and why the South African food story is one of the most exciting in the world right now.
If you care about food, culture, creativity, and the people behind the plates, this episode is a fascinating look into the heart of South African cuisine.
