By introduction, Jade is a 27 year old food jammer and saxophonist born and raised in Cape Town. She started Food Jams in 2010 in a bid to teach her friends how to cook – based on music, and now uses it as a way of meeting and hosting people, whilst having a party and learning about food and context at the same time.
Besides writing 3 cookbooks before the age of 25, she has hosted an online cooking show with friends, and makes up one third of In Foreign Transit, a South African film, food and photo collective taking other countries by storm. In 2010 South Africa got to know her as the ‘one with the crazy energy and quirky accent’ on the first season of Masterchef South Africa.
