Theatre of Food
About the Angela Day Kitchen
|
- The Angela Day column is a not-to-be-missed full food feature in The Star newspaper on Mondays and Thursdays, which is syndicated throughout the Independent Group.
- Angela Day has met the who’s who in the world of food – everyone from Prue Leith, John Tovey, Madhur Jaffrey, Aldo Zilli, Robert Carrier, Ainsley Harriott, Bill Gallagher, Heinz Brunner and the Naked Chef himself, Jamie Oliver
- The people in The Star’s Angela Day department have always been angels to thousands of South Africans – and that’s exactly how the name came about. They are the angels of the day for those whose culinary, household and other problems they cheerfully solve, and often field up to 100 queries a day.
- The first Angela Day column – written by Lorraine Jacobs – appeared on June 20, 1964. The new venture, which included a telephone service, promised to help answer any domestic query relating to recipes and household and baby care. It was an immediate success and Jacobs and her team soon found themselves being legal experts, marriage guidance counselors and a shoulder and ear for the lonely.
- The name soon became a beloved institution as Angela Day and her team made friends far and wide.
