The Good Food & Wine Show will be in Durban at the end of the month and we are giving away 3 x double (standard entry) tickets to 3 lucky Durbanites!! To enter leave a comment at the end of this post telling us which you love more, FOOD or WINE and why… *Std. T&Cs apply
Joao Fonseca – best known to most of his fans as J’Something – is better recognised for his catchy tunes and hypotonic moves as the lead singer of award-winning South African band Mi Casa. However, visitors to the GFWS will be able to catch J’Something cooking up a storm in both the Celebrity Chefs Theatre (Friday, October 30 at 12.50) and the well.i.am kitchen (Saturday, October 31 at 12.20). He will also be doing a Q&A session at the SABC3 stand at the show on the Friday at 15.00.
In early October 2014, word of a J’Something cooking show made the rounds and the ‘aspiring chef’ and his team soon announced a much-anticipated Something’s Cooking TV series. The 13-episode season proved to be a resounding success reaching over two million viewers. Since the launch of J’s cooking show his brand has grown leaps and bounds and he recently hosted another cooking show, called What’s For Dinner, on SABC 3 that reached more than 10 million viewers. J’s food philosophy is simple: “It’s not necessarily about the cost, the complexity or the look but what’s in your heart when you are making the dish,” he says.
He has also become very involved with his own nutrition and has learnt to find a balance between good food and good health; his goal is to make food that is delicious yet healthy. So what will this muso/chef be cooking at the show in Durban?
“It’s a surprise,” he says, “but trust me it will be delicious and simple. It will be down to earth and – more than anything else – my demo will be the most fun out of all of them.”
J ‘Something will be joined by a host of international chefs, including Rick Stein, Brent Owens, Reza Mahammed and Renae Smith, as well as some of the best local chefs including Jenny Morris, Asha Maharaj, Executive Chef of Hartford House, Constantijn Hahndiek, Durban Curry author Erica Platter, Executive Chef of The Oyster Box Hotel Kevin Joseph, Head Chef of the Sun Coast Towers Hotel, Sandren Govender, Sheila Somers, and Peter Ayub.
The Durban Good Food & Wine Show takes place from October 30 to November 1 at the Durban Exhibition Centre in association with Durban Tourism. There will be book signings with all the celebrity chefs at the show, along with Q&As and the Big Durban Curry Cook-Off.

Food ❤
There Is Nothing In This Entire World That Can Brighten Up My Day As Much As Food Can! It’s So Vast And Diverse, The Different Flavours And Textures Are Just Absolutely Amazing, We Have Definitely Come A Long Way From The Hunters And Gatherers That Once Roamed The Earth Eating Raw Meat And Plants. It Is Truly A Wonder As To How One Can Create Something That Looks So Good And Tastes Even Better. I Am Not One Of Those People But There Is Nothing I Enjoy More Than Tasting The Beautiful Creations. I Would Love To Win This And I Think My Parents And Grandparents Would Love Share This With Me As It Will Be Our First Good Food And Wine Experience, And After The Wine I’m Pretty Sure That I Will Be Driving Home! ?

It is nearly an impossibility to choose between food or wine. We need food for a sustainable living but what better why to enjoy your food than with a glass of wine. It just brings the flavour of the food through. The two just compliment each other. Therefore for myself, there is no differentiation between the two.

I would so love to take my mom and mom-in-law to this awesome show that showcases the best food and wine in the World with the most fantastsic stalls and people – they both so badly want to go and I would love to make this dream come true for them. As they are both pensioners it would really help them to have tickets to a show they are dreaming of going to.
