Celebrity chef and TV personality Siba Mtongana continues to rock the culinary world. 

As is the case with her international TV show, Siba's Table, her recently released cookbook, My Table, has become an instant hit.

My Table has taken South Africa by storm and has already made history as the best-selling cookbook ever to have been stocked by retail giant, Woolworths SA. Thus far it has sold over 33 percent more copies than any other cookbook Woolworths SA has ever carried. The self-published book, produced by her company, The Siba Co, has about 120 “Sibalicious” recipes for food lovers to try out at home.

Commenting on the extraordinary demand for her cookbook, Siba said she was “humbled and grateful for the love and support I’ve received from my home, South Africa". 

"This cookbook has been a long-held dream and putting it together was a labour of love that demanded lots of sacrifice, hard work, innovation, focus and determination. Writing the book was my favourite part of the process,” she said.

“What's even more exciting is that many people told me that they were buying a cookbook for the very first time. I’m incredibly glad that I’ve introduced them to a new world of experimentation, flavour, friendship and fun. I couldn’t be happier!”

International fans can also soon expect to see My Table launched in the more than 130 countries where her shows are also aired. - release by Clayton Morar
