Big Brother Africa celebrity Hazel Warren launches cookbook
Malawi’s former Big Brother Africa representative, Hazel Warren, on Friday launched a book titled “Cooking with Hazel” to teach the world recipes for local favourite Malawian dishes.
She told journalists in Lilongwe that she would like to sell Malawi’s cuisine to the international community on how best to prepare and the local dishes.
“This book acts as a way of attracting tourists to come to Malawi and test our local dishes like pumpkin leaves cooked with powdered groundnut and nsima (stiff porridge) taken with any side dishes, among others,” she said.
In addition, Warren also has launched a charity foundation to assist the needy and a Website to connect with her friends both at local and international levels.
Warren was the third Malawi Big Brother Africa representative after Code Sangala and Zain Dudha. She stayed in the house for 90 days, showcasing her culinary skills and talent as she prepared food for the entire house.-APA

I always thought people in Malawi wouldn’t buy into that kind of consumerism.
This happens all the time with Big Brother contestants in the UK, when they exit the house, they make an exercise dvd, fill magazines and newspapers with they life stories before BB and episodes of they partying after BB.
But no cookbooks by BB contestants, normally cookbooks are written by professional chefs. Delia Smith, Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey etc.
She should make a lot of money from the book, I just hope she has recipes that people don’t already know.
stiff porridge?? any body can write acook book you fool.simple the better,id rather buy her book than any of the prof. chefs.simple the better.
Please Hazel when you are writting your cookbook , Try to write differently from what your friends wrote. I am keeping “The Malawi Cookbook, 1985″ Written by Anabel,Pat and June. Nsimazo ndiye ziri momo ndi mkhwani otendera omwe. Please ungokometsera pang’ono kuti zisiyane, chifukwa ukalemba mmene anzako analembera ikhala duplication.
Is Mzamo going to write one too.
“How to have sex in public and deny it”
Thanks Hazel. Mwina azimayi achimalawi angadziweko kumpika. Maphunziro a zamkomya wapabanja (zophikaphika ndi zosokasoka) zinapita ndi Kamuzu ndi Mama, ndi MCP.
Malawians are not good at buying books, especially cookbooks. Do not waste you time.
uli booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
please teach mzamo athing or two mwina naye angapange chooneka
“If you want to hide anything from Africans, put it in books”. We just don’t have a reading culture. Sure some fools will disagree with me for the sake of arguing. But here is the stark truth:
How many times have you been on a minibus in Malawi and saw somebody reading a book/newspaper? They would rather argue with the minibus conductor on some issue.And for those of you in the west, how often do you see commuters reading something in the train/bus? Last week in walvis bay, I was so impressed with a 16 year old Irish boy who was halfway through the GODFATHER. How many 20 year olds in Malawi have read the godfather?
how many people have money in Malawi to spend on a book other than food. It is not culture, it is poverty period. The people you are comparing with have money to afford books, after all they ate at their homes when they were getting into a bus. That is not a fair comparison. We are in different worlds!
Its good, they don’t read the Godfather because crime is bad. Many Malawians read books , do not generalize.However, reading may have not been ingrained into our culture as it is in Ireland–no probs: We have our own culture AND WE LOVE IT
why would you read a cook book in a minibus what r you talking about,people colect cook boooooooks to have in the kitchen,
