Come Cook, Taste, and Celebrate

This summer at Makers Landing, we’re turning up the heat with a season-long celebration of local flavour, creativity, and community. Join us for our Saturday Makers Summer Sessions — a vibrant line-up of hands-on cooking workshops and pop-up experiences led by some of South Africa’s most exciting food innovators.

On Saturday, 13 December, we welcome Khanya Mzongwana to the Makers Landing Residency for this season’s must-attend pop-up food experience.

About Khanya
Khanya Mzongwana is a South African chef-trained food creative and stylist known for her soulful, contemporary approach to flavour and visual storytelling.

“Cooking is compassion. Food shouldn’t perplex you. I never want anyone to leave feeling confused or overwhelmed. This is the food of my youth. Not impressive just is what it is. I know nostalgia is done to death in these parts but for good reason. Food is good when you shed a tear, or at least want to. I cried a little, too. Don’t know why, but I was happy when I did cause I knew it meant I care. And I remember.” – Khanya Mzongwana
