For four seasons on the Food Network channel, Siba’s Table brought viewers Siba Mtongana’s scrumptious recipes into our homes. Her food journey reveals that while the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, a straight line is rarely the direction in which life travels.

Siba took her shared loves of food and science and got a bachelor’s degree in Food and Consumer Sciences with majors in Food Science and Nutrition. Along the way, she has become a celebrity chef, a television presenter, cookbook author, and now, restaurateur. And a wife and mother of four. Mtongana is the poster image for women who can have it all.
