NEW COOKING SHOW ON DSTV
New cooking show my Botswana plate launches on DSTV, says HONEY TV
Food has the undeniable power to bring people together and is truly the cornerstone of almost any celebration and when it comes to our culture here in Botswana, we all know that no one has as much power as the one commanding the pots at the magadi ko gae, Christmas lunch or any significant family gathering.
DStv says HONEY TV will be launching My Botswana Plate on the 11th of February on channel 173, a cooking entertainment show hosted by a young Motswana foodie and cook, Rachel Tlagae, known in the show as Chef Rachel.
“One of the commitments we made as a business when we began operating in Botswana is to strive to have content that is local to Botswana. We’ve done this in the past with shows such as Date My Family Botswana in 2019, and over the years we’ve worked tirelessly to expand on this and do more not only for our DStv Botswana viewers but to also showcase Botswana’s talent across Africa,” says MultiChoice Managing Director, Stephanie Pillay.
Rachel was selected amongst various other local food influencers, cooks and chefs, from Botswana to host this exciting cooking show. HONEY TV is a pan-African lifestyle channel that’s available on the DStv Premium, Compact Plus and Compact packages. The show has over thirteen episodes running for over two months, My Botswana Plate is set to showcase traditional Setswana meals with a new-age twist.
“It’s such a surreal feeling to be part of something this big, not only for me but for Botswana. I remain completely grateful and humbled by the opportunity to put my beautiful country on the map with something so simple yet so special to me- the love of food,” said Chef Rachel.
Each episode of My Botswana Plate is themed according to different significant aspects of Setswana culture and traditions from both the old school to the new school.
