Can you believe we are actresses now ?! ☺️☺️lol. Ok, not really but… we were asked to do a feature as “celebrity judges” for a Kasi cooking show that was part of the story line. How cool is that? We were asked us to play ourselves ☺️☺️ except, we are not celebrities or judges, lol. ?? but Ma’am Dorah Sitole is, so it’s the same thing… right?! ??.

We came in for two different days to shoot two different episode- days but it spread out to 4 episodes soo… we are professionals now?! ☺️☺️ we honestly have a new found respect for actors and actresses, it’s really no joke. We were on that set for hours and hours ??? lol, we decided to wear heels ? … bad idea!!! Lol. For the second episode we had to do some real life acting ☺️? we had a scene where we had to spit the food out and cough, lol. And we were like “we really have to pretend good here” and our baby Given Stuurman was like … “don’t pretend, act” ?? well then superstar… that was great advice though. ❤️

We had the best time ever with the loveliest and kindest cast ever❤️❤️. Very accommodating and sweet people, it was such an honor and a pleasure.

When you watch the episodes though, make sure you don’t blink ? ?? lol, you literally just might miss our close up… honest????!!! Lol ??. The first day we were on, my mom was expecting the episode to be about “the twins” I guess ??? lol and she was soooo disappointed that we were on for a few seconds ?? Haha, but we assured her that we’d have more seconds on the other episodes to come?… and our acting skills… on ?. We are literally ready to take on this career ??

But honestly though, it was a huge privilege and a huge honor, what a lovely opportunity. We are soo soo sooooo thankful ❤️

Food And Home Magazine Feature

December 22, 2017/in PR /by The Twins

Twin bloggers Tebogo and Lebogang Ndala are chefs by profession who came, who cooked and who conquered.

We were born and bred in Pretoria. After studying at the beautiful Hurst Campus on the Backsberg Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, our love of food drove us to becoming professional and private chefs, pop-up restaurateurs, food bloggers, assistant food editors and aspiring food stylists.

Our mom has always been a good cook and, when we were little, we loved helping her in the kitchen – that’s where the passion took flight. But it was our high school Hospitality teacher, Mrs Le Roux at Hoërskool Hendrik Verwoerd, Pretoria, who made the rage more fierce!

We always told our friends we could cook very well, but they never believed us. So, we started sharing pics of our food to prove our abilities. Our mentor, Ragmah Abrahams, told us to create a blog to keep a record of everything we make. And so, we started off by blogging on Tumblr.

The secret to blogging success is to be consistent – as easy as pie. Be constant and uniform in your work and posts alike – even on the bad days.

We’re besotted with Thai food, so we tend to add a dash of Thai curry paste to everything – be it butternut soup or pea soup. We’ll bring Thailand home, to any dish, at any chance we get.

We love cooking for our friends; they get excited to try our dishes! At the end of the day, that’s all that matters and the reason we cook: to make people happy.

Apart from spending time in the kitchen and taking food photographs, we’re obsessed with keeping fit and finding interesting new workout spots. Oh, and we delight in reading. Cuisine, hikes and books equal: The Twins.

We simply adore the crisp roast duck recipe on our blog. We work regularly with Ma’am Dorah Sitole and this is her recipe. She’s so sweet and always allows us to use her creations. We like preparing food that’s not intimidating and that’s why we love this dish. You can effortlessly impress your guests, without having to work yourself into a spin in the kitchen. Plus, it’s a foolproof recipe that’s super-delicious.

Mamelodi-born twins Lebo and Tebo Ndala might not yet have a television series like the famed twins Tia and Tamera, but the talented 23-year-olds would certainly put on an entertaining show.

The twins graduated from The Hurst Campus in Stellenbosch. As part of their training, they worked as interns in the kitchens of the Victoria & Albert Hotel and the Radisson Blu, respectively, after which they decided to branch out into other sectors of the food industry. They have now started their own business, With Love From The Twins, a pop-up food concept. The duo caters for intimate dinners; they are also freelance food editors and food stylists. Their company celebrated its first year in July.

“Being featured on Top Billing was a highlight. Collaborating with food brands has also been a highlight, and, of course, meeting the influential people in our industry and being featured on amazing media platforms,” Tebo says. “It’s encouraging because some days are tough, so when someone recognises our work, it’s a beautiful highlight.”

The Ndala twins have certainly had a very busy year, filled with ups and downs. “Not being taken seriously as young women is a big challenge. People assume we are just pretty faces and that’s it, but it’s not true,” Lebo says. “Also, being rejected: oh goodness, that’s hard.”

Despite these challenges, the young entrepreneurs continue to work hard to make a name for themselves. What is their long-term dream? “To own a studio with a functional kitchen, where we could do our food styling and food photography, and open it up to other food creatives who’d like to use the space,” Lebo says.
