and co-hosting several African Artists since 2000 including Hugh
Masekela, Oliver Mtukudzi and Chiwoniso. Patience also has co-hosted
several events including but not limited to African artists. She remains
one of the truly outstanding rising entrepreneurs and model to the
African youth globally.
Wine Dine Africa is a new chapter for Africans & friends of the continent. This is not a cooking show or magazine that just caters to one community or race but a huge cultural bridge that brings unity
amongst all cultures through our love of food .
As she describes it in her own words: "Wine Dine Africa is the first and only cooking show and magazine promoting Africa and
African-fusion cuisine worldwide at this level ."
As a food professional, Patience feels a deep sense of responsibility to present African food to the Western world She lives her philosophy in her writing, speaking and her energetic commitment to promoting Africa in a positive light.
Patience is also a prolific author. Currently finishing up her book - African cooking @ home with exciting and easy to make recipes. This book will explore food from Morocco to Madagascar, Nigeria to South Africa, Congo to Zimbabwe, Sudan to Sierra Leone ...cooking ethnic food is getting very popular in the Western food scene. In this book Patience will play with traditional African recipes, incorporating Western Ingredients to preserve the original recipe while enhancing it with flavoring and ingredients found locally in Canada,USA. UK, Australia and Worldwide. Excerpts from her future book will be published soon.
Patience's approach to cooking is simple: fresh, seasonal and local, organic where at all possible. Use the best ingredients you can afford, and do as little as possible to them. "African Food should taste of itself. Making and sharing African food is the best way I know to celebrate the joy of being African-Canadian."
In addition to her writing and event management Patience is a Mother, Analyst, African recipe
developer and
lifestyle writer with a humorous, hands-on
approach to cooking in live demonstrations. Patience is available for food-and-wine pairing events
on request in 2012.
"Sharing food unites people and it helps us discover and honour our common values. I love cooking !"
