As chef and TV personality, Lorna Maseko, celebrates her new venture, some South Africans are throwing shade at her cooking.

Maseko announced this week that she’ll be in charge of South African Airways’ (SAA) menu for this financial year, as the Executive Chef.

The former Top Billing presenter also recently launched her own 10-part television series, Lorna’s Pantry, which premiered this month.

Maseko has also flown the country’s flag high, featuring as a judge on the popular Food Network show, Beat Bobby Flay Holiday Throwdown, last year alongside international chefs.

She has stamped her presence in the culinary world and has presented several popular cooking TV shows such as Homegrown Tastes South Africa, and hosts cooking seminars.

Maseko also finished in the top six on Celebrity Masterchef SA.

Despite these achievements, however, social media users were divided over whether she deserves the deal or not.

Her critics went as far as accusing the TV personality, chef and cookbook author of not knowing how to cook.

However other’s congratulated her.
