Nokulinda Mkhize’s Kitchen Wisdom Offers Timeless Advice

Book Launch Set for February 15 at Book Circle Capital, Melville

In a time when modern dating is riddled with confusion, heartbreak, and fleeting connections, sangoma and author Nokulinda Mkhize is offering a different perspective—one rooted in age-old wisdom. Her latest book, Kitchen Wisdom: What We Hate to Hear But Need to Know About Men and Romance, is now available, and readers are invited to the official book launch on Saturday, February 15, at 2 PM at Book Circle Capital, 27 Boxes, Melville, Johannesburg.

Mkhize, a practicing sangoma of 17 years, has spent years observing how women navigate romance while balancing career ambitions and personal fulfillment. She notes that many modern women struggle with relationships, often making painful compromises to secure love.

“Women are complaining that amadoda awayekeki (men are irresistible), but at the same time, modern romance is bringing them enormous pain and heartache,” Mkhize explains. “This confusion leads women to make terrible compromises to secure a man’s affections.”

Through Kitchen Wisdom, Mkhize revives the timeless relationship advice once shared in family kitchens—guidance from mothers, grandmothers, and aunts who had long observed the patterns of love and relationships.

“Just because we are modern in our lives, does not mean our hearts are modern in their feelings,” she says.

Timeless Advice for Women Seeking Clarity in Love

Mkhize’s book is a heartfelt guide for women who are ready to embrace love with both their hearts and their heads. She shares essential principles like “Never Chase a Man” and “Do Not Do Wife Things Before You Are the Wife.” She also highlights the dangers of “Fake Friends and Frenemies”, emphasizing how strong female friendships play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy romantic life.

“Kitchen Wisdom ultimately reminds us that strong relationships with other women are complementary and necessary in having a balanced view of romance.”

Mkhize believes that while society has changed, the fundamentals of love and human connection remain the same. By listening to the wisdom of previous generations, women can make more empowered choices in their romantic lives.

Mkhize’s book is the perfect Valentine’s gift—whether for yourself, a sister, niece, or friend who is trying to make sense of modern romance.
