Speaking to The South African about her restaurant, Dineo said: “I am just a home cook who loves to cook, but I have surrounded myself with a team of very skilled culinary chefs that head my kitchen… I love to cook and am good at it, so why not?”
She added, “We are the place you come to for guilt-free eating… We are very mindful in our kitchen practices and cooking practices, and we also encourage mindful eating. ”The media personality is undoubtedly stepping back from the spotlight and moving into the kitchen.”
