Born and raised in Namibia, Marianna Marks remembers the carefree childhood she enjoyed in a hot and dry Windhoek. So many Southern Africans can relate to this. She was very close to her grandmother who got very sick. Before she died, she asked Marianna to put together a recipe book.
This book has been a labour of love for Marianna. It has also been emotional to delve into her memories of her beloved grandmother. And of course, food plays such an important part in our lives. It evokes memories and is the thing we long for the most when we leave our place of birth.
Marianna has published ‘Naked Baking’ and has ‘Naked Cooking’ in the pileline. She has also published two books in a children’s series called ‘Mini Red’.
On Friday evenings, ou can tune into Facebook for Marianna’s Facebook Live from M’s Kitchen.
This is the 10th episide on the Celebrate Southern Africa podcast, and it was such a pleasure to chat to Marianna about life in Wales and the future plans she has for her writing.
Naked Baking and the Mini Red series by Marianna Marks are available on Amazon
