This debut cookbook by Chef Thilivhali Mugwena, popularly known as Chef Mash, reflects her dedication to keeping heritage recipes alive and empowering home cooks everywhere to bring these flavours into their kitchens.
Thilivhali Mugwena originally trained as an accountant at Nelson Mandela University, and later attended Capsicum Culinary Studio. In 2019, she launched Meals with Mash, a brand named in honour of her mother and built on the belief that cooking should feel approachable, joyful, and deeply rooted in who we are.
