Award-winning chef and TV personality Lorna Maseko returns to BBC Lifestyle to celebrate the hidden gems of our local culinary landscape.

Homegrown Tastes South Africa Season 2 sees Lorna travel off the beaten track to areas such as Cederberg, Klein Karoo, Muldersdrift and the Eastern Cape, with 10 celebrity guides to discover the hero ingredients of the region. In each episode, Lorna will tour the area with a celebrity guide, from  Luthando Shosha, Gert Johan Coetzee,  Anton Jeftha, Blue Mbombo,  and Sandile Mahlangu (the list goes on!), and prepare a dish inspired by the local cuisine. Leaving no stone unturned, Lorna will track down the local producers and hero ingredients to create her own delicious meal for her and the celebrity guide to enjoy.

What to expect on the first episode of Homegrown Tastes South Africa Season 2

In Episode One, Lorna meets Actor Anton Jephta in the town of Clanwilliam in the Cederberg region – home to two of South Africa’s famous teas – Rooibos and Buchu.

The pair head off on a mystical tour of the beautiful Cederberg region which is encompassed by Clanwilliam, Citrusdal with its towering mountains and Lambertsbaai and Elandsbaai, with their perfect waves for surfing.
