When it comes to showcasing some of South Africa’s most authentic traditions media personality and renowned chef Lorna Maseko is pulling out all the stops in introducing Africa to the world.
Known for culinary knowledge, Lorna has built herself quite a reputation both locally and abroad. Her love for food and how it brings cultures together has seen her travelling all over the world including the United States.
Earlier this year, she achieved a milestone moment when her face appeared on the billboards in New York’s Time Square.
And now she has taken it even further. In a video posted on her Instagram page Lorna can be seen teaching TV chef Bobby Flay a thing or two in the kitchen.
As for the menu – a South African favourite – Kota.
In her caption she wrote: “It was such a treat to cook with @bobbyflay in his home kitchen after judging a couple of episodes of #BeatBobbyFlay this season! Bobby is officially one of my favorite humans, so I had to bring him one of the best bites of South African street food: a Kota!”
Although lacking a few traditional ingredients the esteemed chef (Lorna) created one of the most top-notch dishes that Bobby has ever experienced.

“We took a quarter loaf of bread, hollowed it out and stuffed it with fries, cheese, atchar, sausage, lots of sauce, and an egg — this kota is a little bougie… but we’re in Tribeca after all, so it fits, right? The South African flavor was definitely there!” she ended.
Those in the comments applauded her, adding some popular favourites they would have added to their kota.
