A good week for Bridget Mangwandi

Cooking at home has become something of an art form after a recent surge of TV programmes, among them the widely popular MasterChef series. Begun in the UK, it has been taken to Australia and, from time to time, even to South Africa. The latest local winner, Bridget Mangwandi, 20, started cooking at the age of seven, when her parents divorced. She began with pork chops, winning high praise from her mom. Since then she has progressed to more innovative meals, winning the title along with prize money of R1m.
