[WATCH] It’s another 11 out of 10! Local Tiktok cook sensation

Hello everyone!

Hope you all well and doing lekker! This week I wanna turn my focus to something somewhat different.

Today I focus on the socials and the app that is taking the world by storm, TikTok or as I the hear the older generation call it – tikkie tokkie lol.

I am there for all the cooking videos. I love watching people cook away with the camera rolling and making lekker kos.

huis kos recipes catches my attention and I know everyone has their favourite TikTok foodie but today I want to chat about one of my favourites Isma-eel Syce.

He is 25 years young, vibrant energetic and although he is in the Health and Fitness industry by being a certified personal trainer by profession, but cooking and creating foodie content on TikTok is his passion.

He is super kwaai in front of the camera and his excitement and love for cooking is really evident in his videos.

He makes simple lekker huiskos and he usually uses simple ingredients and alles werk en kom so mooi te saam! I love how he re-labelled cheese… Kaashiefa instead of kaas and when you watch his videos, he just gives new meaning to making local lekker!

“My goal is to make people’s day and to show that cooking is for everyone. If I can cook, the rest of the universe can cook,” says Syce.
