Radio Interview with MasterChef South Africa winner Shawn Godfrey
Recently (April 1st 2022), Bongani Bingwa interviewed me on “Weekend Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa” on 702. If you missed it, you can still listen to the recording. I spoke about my reaction to be winning the competition, the pressure of being a part of it, and what to expect from me in the future.
What You Didn’t See on the First Episode of Masterchef South Africa Season 4
The first episode of MasterChef South Africa Season 4 was broadcast on M-Net last night (read a review here), and I watched the show with some close friends and family members. Everyone brought a pizza of their choice - I wasn’t going to cook this time!
Meet the MasterChef SA Season 4 Contestants
Since I rubbed shoulders with these up-and-coming food legends, I can tell you a few things about them. MasterChef South Africa Season 4 aired in February and March 2022.
How I became a MasterChef SA Contestant
The news is out! Today, M-Net released a promo video that showed some of the contestants for MasterChef SA 2022, and so I can finally tell you that I was part of the show!

Emazulwini - a Heavenly Experience
With my parents in Cape Town for the festive season, we have the benefit of two great babysitters on-hand and we took full advantage last Friday night.
We had been wanting to go to Emazulwini for a while, and with guests and fellow foodies down from Johannesburg for a long weekend, it was the perfect timing.
Meat Free Mondays…
I had so much fun experimenting with the concept of meat free Mondays. The challenge set myself recently is to create a vegetarian and zero-waste dish at least once a week. This came from the realisation that I am daunted by cooking vegetarian dishes.
Riebeeck Kasteel
After a hectic few weeks my wife and I decided it was time to go for a weekend away. With two small children and a third on the way, it needed to be close enough to Cape Town to be able to drive to for a short two-night stay, yet far away to make it feel like the little get-away we needed.
The Early Beginnings of The Roasted Dad
It all started in the middle of the pandemic. During lockdown, I started to experiment with cooking more, trying out new techniques and buying different ingredients to create nice dishes with. To capture that journey, I opened a new Instagram account. It was in our kitchen, while enjoying a glass of red, that we threw a few name ideas around, until The Roasted Dad was born.
