"I learnt to cook from my mom and grandma," said Jill Levenberg (Mymoena). "I've always been surrounded by my aunties, and you spend so much time in the kitchen. It's where traditions are handed down over the years from generation to generation."
"The kitchen is where you're healed, where you laugh, where you cry. It was my time with my mom and my grandma. You watch them intently as a child and as you grow up and where my recipes come from. It's something really special."
