Cooking with Azania is a half-hour show that looks at the lifestyle of eating in South Africa, both at home and out. The main features of the show are restaurant reviews, cooking with a celebrity and great recipes.
The restaurant review is about taking viewers to a great restaurant in South Africa, going into their kitchens and finding out what their signature dishes are.
Each week some of South Africa's biggest names cook with Azania as well as share their favourite recipe with the audience. Azania also shares ideas and recipes of her own that she loves and enjoys; keeping it distinctly South African.
The show also includes coverage of food and wine events, competitions and vox pops. An added feature of Cooking with Azania is a mobile app for added convenience.
This is a fresh take on cooking shows as Azania explores the lifestyle associated with food and eating that South Africans enjoy.
An avid cook and gardener, Cooking with Azania shows us a different side of TV and radio personality Azania Mosaka. She has worked in these industries for more than a decade and currently hosts Metro FM's mid morning show "Total Bliss".
As a single mother of two - and between managing the demands associated with radio - she is also a television producer, columnist, voice over artist and MC for corporate, media and entertainment events.
She was also a judge on two seasons of the reality competition Popstars.
