The show is proudly sponsored by Woolworths and the store has teamed up with a number of our favourite ZAlebs to compete against each other in the ultimate winter cook off.
The Lazy Makoti's Guide to the Kitchen author Mogau Seshoene, fondly known as The Lazy Makoti will be leading the other team with Bring Back My Smile's presenter Kayise Ngqula.
The other team will be led by Youtuber Mpoomy Ledwaba and Food Stylist Keletso Motau. Their job will be to show viewers how easy it is to make meals this winter especially with everything that is happening in the country.

Taking to Twitter to detail her ordeal, Sive "Black Rose" Nkukwana said, "The way I was mistreated when I worked on Real Talk, I vowed to treat people who work with/under my lead with compassion and empathy. Everyone must feel seen and heard. I make sure I elevate and uplift the good side of my team. I make sure they know how important their role is."
Sive's sentiments did not fall on deaf ears as tweeps came out with their own stories on the abuse that creatives suffer in TV Production.
Sive also said her passion carried her and the host of the show, Anele Mdoda. She said that Real Talk was her dream job at the time, "I was a guest and by the time I left their studios, I knew I wanted to work there. I’d just left craz-e (career highlight) so Real Talk felt like a graduation of some sort"
Viewers can catch the cooking special on Mzansi Magic, channel 161 on 17 July at 6pm. It will also air on Honey (DStv channel 173) on 19 July 2021 at 8 pm.
