Kat in her past life – a food loving Manga lady
So, in true starving creative fashion, recently we were lucky to be hosted for an artistic lunch experience with the lady we call “the art chef” – a lovely young lady by the name of Katlego Catley Rahlahane. Katlego is a former design student I met through a friend whilst he was taking her on a strange tour of Jozi City (strange, because from my knowledge, Kat is a resident of the East Rand ). From a short conversation and my amazing gentlemanly charm, I managed to coerce the Jamie Oliver influenced chef to come over to our place on a Saturday and cook for my weird and fun assortment of guests.
Any designer who does not appreciate or know about good food is not a very good designer. The planning of a meal and its presentation; the texture, the colour, the tastes, the hot and cold temperatures––are the same concerns that affect the environment – Van Day Truex
Besides her understanding of general design principles and her interest in the arts, Kat developed an incredible and serious love for Anime from a young age (we’re talking addiction here folks). On a Saturday spent sight-seeing at the Neighbourgoods Market and through 71 Juta street in Braamfontein, it eventually down to the time of some serious food and art business. We dually all learnt how a lovely plate pf food can manage to turn an ordinary Saturday interview, into a fun little occasion & experience.
Yip buddy, you have some sleepless nights ahead
So, in a special meal that she appropriately named “Kat-ala-King”, the young art chef treated us to an amazingly healthy and delicious pasta meal. But rather than bore you with our usual politically correct or incorrect commentary, we created a short 5 minute vlog to sum-up the awesome day spent with Kat. In the video, Kat talks us through the secret ingredients she used to achieve the delectable result. We also picked up a lot of the other strange and fun events that took place on that day.
PS: It is with guilt that I must admit that we misplaced so many awesome images from our initial interview with Kat. We also did misspell her name on the video. Yes, we deserve a real good kick in the face! however, the awesome video remains and Kat remains one of the most epic people we’ve met this year… enjoy
