Jenny Morris

Jenny Morris – AKA The Giggling Gourmet – is one of South Africa‘s most-loved food personalities, she is an author, magazine writer, radio and TV presenter, celebrity chef, teacher, caterer and culinary tour guide who has had an ongoing love affair with food since she was a child, when she started making mouth watering treats for school fundraisers. It’s a love affair in the true sense of the word, one that employs all the senses

Taste is the most obvious, as is aroma. For Jenny Morris touch is also important. “Feeling your food is important,” she says. “Caress it, stroke it, know it intimately.” How you eat your food will reveal what kind of lover you are. “You don’t want someone who eats a sosatie (kebab) with a knife and fork,” says Jenny with the naughty spontaneous laugh that has earned her the moniker of Giggling Gourmet. ” And if I can get presidents and heads of state to eat with their hands, I can do it for anyone!” Among her kitchen essentials Jenny lists garlic, butter, olive oil, trusty zester, and dhania (cilantro).

Jenny’s formula for success is to “entertain informatively and inform entertainingly,” something she does with flair. Not only has she conquered radio but Jenny has made several television appearances both locally and internationally.

Jenny is also regularly much in demand for events such as Food Festivals and Expos, making regular appearances around and outside the country, and is often commissioned by leading brands for both recipe and menu development as well as promoting, demonstrating food and related products, she is an examiner for The Culinary Academy, a judge for various food competitions, and is in regular demand as the first choice SA Celebrity Chef to make appearances at various functions and product launches. Jenny also has a networking relationship with a number well known of international celebrity chefs.
