#SeveralColours

From a small kitchen in Kuruman comes a big lesson: great food doesn’t start with a qualification - it starts with heart. Desiree ‘Dezi’ Lengwati, the self-taught cook behind Dezi’s Cuisine & Catering, has turned her passion into a growing brand that blends soulful tradition with modern flair. Alongside her husband Johannes, she’s serving meals that feel like comfort but taste like celebration. We explore how one woman’s creativity, consistency, and community spirit are reshaping the Northern Cape food scene and proving that talent, when paired with purpose, can change lives.
