"Wow, you don't look like a chef!" This statement is something Chef
Lesego Semenya has heard many a time over the years. His response
is always: "So, what does a chef look like?"
With his bulging tattooed upper arms, soft-spoken nature and
obvious passion for South African cuisine and giving it his unique
twist, Lesego probably doesn’t fit the generic look of a self-made top chef. It
is his unconventional personality and approach to food that has
kept South Africans coming back for more over the years. Having
cooked for billionaires such as Richard Brandson, Bill Gates and
Warren Buffet, starring on the judging panel of foodie programme
Top Chef South Africa, being the resident chef for various
newspapers and radio shows, and then building his successful
culinary brand LesDaChef, he finally brings his foodie fans his
first cookbook, Dijo - My Food, My Journey.
Every dish that will be featured in Dijo has a story that speaks of passion and nostalgia.
Sharing both the recipes and their history will give foodies a way
of getting to know Lesego’s food background while growing up in
Soweto, as well as the fine-dining techniques he learned at chef
school and a few hot chef secrets, too.
Divided into three sections that span his food journey, Dijo is an
affirmation of South African cuisine, its heritage and its unique flavours.
Readers will go on a journey through the simplest yet most-loved of township dishes, to
the more complex fine-dining molecular gastronomy creations he has
become known for. It truly is a reflection of his life lived
through food.
Lesego is also very active on social media and has
used this platform to not only build his brand, LesDaChef, but also
to educate, inform and, sometimes, challenge his followers to learn
and understand exactly what they're consuming - whether it be food
or beverages.
