Superkabza's Cookout



When I started cooking and most of my friends and their friends knew I cooked, the most common question I would get is "When will I taste your food?" or "When will you cook for me?", mainly from the ladies, because the guys always knew we would have a braai (BBQ) so it didn't matter to them that much as they'd tasted my food. 

But in all this, I never had time to cook for everyone and it wasn't possible for me to do that. What came from this was that it pushed me to want to do something for my friends.

That's when I thought of a cookout where I invited friends and which came with their friends for the day at the local dam. I also invited my fellow chef and friend Theo (@cheftheo) to help me achieve the good day.

We located the cookout in a place where we all can make it and I draw up the menu to compliment the day with small eats, salads and nothing heavy. Myself and Theo cooked chicken, fish, prawns, beef, lamb,  pork,  "South African Potjie" (which is cooking meat with potatoes, carrots, onions and herbs in a cast iron pot on an open fire for hours on a low heat till its tender, you can always add anything you want) and had a braai. But everything is cooked in two different ways: his style and mine. Since it's a social day with friends, we enjoyed some beer with the good food.

What I love about this cookout is that when cooking, our friends see it from the beginning to the end and they get involved by asking questions, and even get to help out a bit.

It's also nice that it's in the outdoors and we only cook on open fire, no stoves, no gas or anything. For a first time it went well and I got calls from my friend saying they want more. Check out some pictures.

Introducing Superkabza

Hello! I want to start this blog by introducing myself. I am Kabelo Kalebe, 24 year old cook. I was born in South Africa and I have a love for good and healthy food. The main reason of starting this blog is to share with you my passion for food, culture, photography and my knowledge and experience of taking day by day ingredients and making a simple and healthy light meal in a short time. I will also tell you about my adventures which got me to this point. So where did my passion come from?

That´s when I realised that I wanted to be in the culinary world. So I decided to study to be a cook in the Mafikeng Institute of Hotel Management in the North West Province, South Africa and graduated in the year 2012. I realized that before studying, I was already passionate about cooking. My mother and aunts are my main inspirations. It is known

Ceviche

Classic Ceviche: Fish, Aji limo, Lime, Choclo (Peruvian Corn), Sweet potatoes, Red onions. Personally, I never knew it and besides me being a chef and all I'm still learning a lot of things and the food world. About a year and a half while working in the USA I met this lady Andrea from Peru in South America. She introduced me to ceviche and all the ingredients they add to it, but I didn't get the whole cooking thing.  What I knew was that on the classic ceviche they use white fish most of the times and one spicy chilli which they blend into the mixture called "leche de tigre" or "tigger's milk" and mix it with the fish. So I asked if we going to fry it and she said "no we cook the fish with lime for a few minutes then it's done".  "Aji Amarillo" and "Aji Limo" are the most popular chillis for ceviche Peruvian Lime, really acid. Where she comes from, Peru it's a normal thing to have it and there
