Edik Van Nantes and Edik Van Nantes: Winter (Showmax)
Singer-turned-lifestyle host Nataniël puts on a full-scale production in his shows, with a little help from his sidekick brother Erik. Episodes are about 20 minutes but you’re not just getting a recipe, it’s a full-on party-planning session with the pair telling you how to put on a feast for the eyes. And if you’re questioning Nataniël’s skills in the kitchen, just remember that he’s the guy who put cooking’s Mr Mean, Gordon Ramsay, in his place.

Now on Season 12, this is a hearty mix of cooking show meets social experiment, where people from all walks of life come together over that most sacred of South African traditions: the braai.

Don’t be intimidated by that – he makes the most fiddly recipes easy enough to follow in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Jan Braai Vir Erfenis (Showmax)
You don’t need to be a kitchen king or queen to cook up a storm. Coal-conquering Jan Braai travels South Africa, building fires, marinating and meeting new people as he braais to perfection.
