One of this year's top 30 Miss South Africa 2021 contestants is Savannah De Almeida, who hails from Hillcrest in Durban.
This 23-year-old social media and digital marketing specialist counts pasta and doughnuts as two of her food obsessions that are right up there on her list of favourite things to eat.
She also loves creating what she calls her health bowl - "a mouth-watering hearty meal that you can have for lunch or dinner".
Savannah is also a big dessert fan, and her favourite go-to pudding is homemade condensed milk ice cream.
"It's so easy and simple to make," she says. "Just three ingredients - and a little patience while it freezes - and you have the most delicious, more-ish pudding."
