Adorned caught up with an avid food lover who is a whizz in the kitchen and loves everything about good food! Better described as a ‘fun foodie’ who is absolutely passionate about cooking, Pholosho Matondolo brings to her craft – a great ability to delight. Her marvellous creations, served with love and laughter, make healthy eating seem so easy. To top it off, being a non-meat-eater herself, she still makes the most delicious meat dishes!
She often says: “When passion speaks, nothing can stop you”. What keeps her going is her love for cooking. She enjoys cooking for her husband, family and friends “and for everybody too” she says.
Pholosho loves exploring different food cuisines and her experience in the hospitality industry both locally and internationally opened her eyes to the abundance of creativity to be discovered in cooking. This experience taught her that when you are passionate there is no limit.
She strongly believes that cooking comes from within – an idea instilled in her from a young age. She also believes that her knowledge of food and creating new simple recipes is a gift from God. Her love for serving God and people is what drives her. It brings her joy to be able to share her knowledge and ideas for simple, fresh recipes with everyone.
