Pagecast at Franschhoek Literary Festival - Africa Melane in conversation with Fehmz

Loading player...
This one's pure joy.

Live from the Franschhoek Literary Festival Pagecast Studio, Africa Melane and Fehmz get into food, family, and the stories behind the recipes, and you can hear the laughter from a mile off.

Fehmz's debut cookbook Damn Good Food features over 80 recipes.

Fehmz is a city girl from Johannesburg chasing her dreams as a food, lifestyle and travel influencer. She is a strong believer in keeping things real and authentic, and her vibrant personality infuses every recipe with energy, colour, and bold flavours inspired by her Muslim heritage.

Africa Melane is a South African broadcaster, journalist, and moderator known for hosting the Early Breakfast Show on both CapeTalk and 702.

He is admired for his measured, inquisitive, and respectful interview style, and brings more than a decade of experience in South African broadcasting.
