Durban food blogger, Janice Tripepi, will be competing in this week’s episode of “ Dinner Divas” on SABC2, on Saturday, at 8.30am.
Tripepi’s blog can be seen at http://www.janicetripepi.co.za/ and this week she will be cooking some signature Italian dishes – from stuffed chicken breasts with accompaniments to panforte pastries with orange mascarpone.
She will be up against Cape Town contestant, Thuli Gogela, and one contestant will leave at the end of the show.
Food blogging is becoming a hot topic as foodies, from career high-flyers, housewives and professional cooks, go online to share their recipes and link up with other foodies.
In the 13 episodes of Dinner Divas, sponsored by Sasko, each finalist prepares her favourite three dishes for judges in restaurants and on location at the Dinner Diva kitchen in Cape Town.
Each week, a finalist is eliminated and in the final episode on January, the triumphant dinner diva will walk off with some fabulous prizes, including a book deal, R50 000 cash and R25 000 worth of kitchen appliances.
Each meal is judged on taste, seasonality, styling and nutrition and the contestants are encouraged to showcase their passion and flair with food to demonstrate their blog.
