Solina (Moodley) Naidoo.
Long before Solina (Moodley) Naidoo built a food brand and a social media community of about 350,000 people, food was simply the language of love she grew up speaking at home.
Naidoo, a content creator, social media manager, recipe developer, and founder of Perima’s Kitchen, shared her journey of transforming her childhood memories into a growing brand built around food, family, heritage and making cooking easier for others.
Naidoo, who was born and raised in Chatsworth, said food was a big part of her childhood.
“I learnt to cook from a very young age, and by the time I was 12, I could make a ‘mean’ mutton curry. My mother, Kalaig (Anne) worked, so there were times when I took on the responsibility of cooking. However, very often she would have already cooked in the morning so that there was food waiting for us when we came home,” she said.
