Rami Chuene has Dinner at Somizi’s
Rami Chuene is Somizi’s first guest. In the first episode of Dinner at Somizi’s the irreverent entertainer hosts actress, singer and author Rami Chuene for a night of good food and honest conversations on this cooking-show-cum-talk-show.
Viewers dive into the world of the charismatic Chuene as she opens up about the industry – its hard truths, her love life and her feisty social media presence. Don’t miss her on-cue impromptu acting with Somizi too.
In this first season of Dinner at Somizi’s, Somizi cooks up a mouth-watering storm and lays out his finest china for family and friends in a unique cooking show that sees culinary deftness meeting hearty and honest conversations, a perfect fly-on-the-wall format that will show off more about the indomitable Somizi and his guests.
The Idols SA judge and radio personality, accompanied by his husband Mohale Motaung-Mhlongo open the doors of their house to the guests and Somizi shares his story about the guests before heading out to the kitchen to introduce the ingredients and the meal he will make.
The show is vintage Somizi, complete with his own language and invented words making for an engaging interaction. From a traditional dish or bake to exotic concoction, Somizi brings his kasi flavour and typical humour as he experiments with his favourite recipes and techniques. The best part of this unscripted show is between the cooking, when Somizi and guests talk, play games and make cocktails.
