Parmesan chargrilled Corn on the Cob

My second time on “Your Feel Good Morning Show”…

… was a lot less nerve wracking than the first time I was a guest on the Expresso show. I knew what to expect this time. You can watch all the footage and hear more about my experience on the show in this blog post: Using a Gas Braai on the Expresso Show.

How To Make Parmesan Chargrilled Corn Cobs (Mielies with a Twist)

Corn on the Cob is always a win and a popular side dish in most South African homes. Our kids absolutely love them, and they regularly get them as a pre-dinner snack if their tummies can’t wait any longer but the meat is still cooking!

Shawn Godfrey is an entrepreneur based in Cape Town, South Africa. After the Covid-19 lockdown saw his business in financial distress, cooking was the creative outlet that helped to keep him sane. To keep track of his recipes, and encourage friends and families to join him, he starts his instagram account The Roasted Dad.

Fast-forward to late 2021 - on a whim Shawn (encouraged by his wife Lianne) enters MasterChef South Africa. It is a crazy time of life: running a 200 people business and struggling to keep it profitable, two small children with a third on the way, and about to move into a new house. But when Shawn gets selected to be one of the 20 contestants participating in the fourth season of MasterChef South Africa, he decides to go all in. Leaving his 7-month-pregnant wife to look after their then three and one-year-old children, he battles it out and comes back home five weeks later with the trophy and a million rand prize money in his pocket.

It all started with an Instagram account, but The Roasted Dad is so much more now. Shawn has stayed his entrepreneurial self and whilst he hosts Private Dinner Parties and Cook-with-Me Demos, does Restaurant Take-Overs, he still runs the lighting company and several other businesses.

On his blog, Shawn shares Restaurant Reviews and Accommodation Reviews, and gives an insight into the wild and wonderful life he leads together with his wife Lianne, and their three children Aiden (6), Olivia (4) and Harvey (2).
