Jade de Waal
Founder and Host of Food Jams
 
Food Jams's Jade de Waal and Chef Lu join us in the loft as she teaches us how to use exotic foods in our cooking.
 
Jade made a name for herself as one of the contestants on the first MasterChef South Africa. Since then, she has had a significant impact on the culinary industry in the country.
 
She started Food Jams in 2010 whilst studying jazz. While jamming out with other musicians, Jade realised that the nights would often end with the musicians being hungry. As a result, she would invite the group to her place where she would serve them food.
 
After seeing her love of the culinary arts, Jade’s friends began asking her to teach them how to cook. They went from jamming music to jamming food together and the concept of Food James was established. 
 
Food James is a cooking party for both friends and family. Food Jams currently has 6 hosts, including Jade. The venue is situated at Salt Orchard Precinct in Salt River.
