We were in Cape Town again this week, with four feisty femmes who served a selection of seafood, spice and lashings of chocolate.

Wednesdays' episode of Come Dine with Me South Africa began in Rondebosch with podcaster TK as the first host.

She was followed by pickle and preserve entrepreneur Pearl, viral cooking TikTokker Tasneem and wedding planner Barbie, who bewitched everyone with the unpronounceable name of her starter and won the R10,000.



These are their recipes:
