What's Cooking
The New Kid on The Block
Emakhaya or ezilalini – ko makhulu no tato’mkhulu. Apho inkaba yam ikhoyo. We all know that feeling of being home is many things: relaxation, reconnecting, rejuvenation, refuelling on love, strengthening bonds and last but not least, ukudla kwa sekhaya (home-cooked food). It just tastes better.
Different foods conjure up different memories and emotions; none more than uphuthu…a staple. You mix uphuthu (mphokoqo in isiXhosa) with amasi, it becomes umvubo…i-favourite ka Tata. You add inyama noshatini (meat and tomato chutney in isiZulu) and the whole family is smiling ear-to-ear.
Ayikho into edlula uthando lwasekhaya. From the food we eat, how we prepare it and to who actually prepares it. Sometimes, ekhaya akudliwa without umakhelwane who knows just the right amount of usawoti to add to a dish, transforming it from something ordinary to soothing or extraordinary.
So, when we talk about ubumnandi basekhaya, we talk about laughter, we talk about a proper catch up with abo-mamgobhozi bendawo, we talk about eating together and uphuthu is always at the centre of it all. #UbumnandiBasekhaya
