It was week five of Come Dine With Me South Africa on Wednesday and we were in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town with three people who stuck to their dress code and one who did not.

The four personalities were luxury hotel manager Kenny, blonde Dr "I get that a lot" Aimee, calorie-counting gym bunny Mmathabo, and hip-and-happening Pastor Jarrod.

It was Kenny who won the R10,000 plate after getting rave reviews for his tacos, ice cream sandwiches and hosting.
 


These are their recipes:
