"There has been a massive explosion in foodie culture and cooking shows all over the world. Chefs and wanna-be chefs have become household names and there are plenty of shows that offer amateur cooks the chance to be in the spotlight," says Nkateko Mabaso, M-Net's director for local interest channels.
"Something’s Cooking turns that on its head, with a household name launching his own cooking show."
"When I don't sing I cook," says J'Something in a statement. "Life is a classic recipe of hard work, good friends and a perfect grilled sarmie. Something's Cooking is who I am, not perfect but passionate."
