The Funny Chef Her Launches Second Cookbook as She Prepares for Motherhood

Actress, comedian, and chef Lebogang Tlokana, famously known as The Funny Chef, has added another exciting milestone to her growing list of achievements. The multi-talented star has officially released her second cookbook, a project she has proudly shared with fans across her social media platforms.

Tlokana announced the news on Instagram last week, sparking a wave of support and excitement from her loyal followers. Dressed elegantly in a bright yellow outfit, she was all smiles as she celebrated this new chapter in her culinary and creative journey.

But as always, The Funny Chef added her signature humour to the moment. She opened up about one of the personal motivations behind pushing her book sales — her soon-to-arrive baby. With her candid and comedic tone, she explained why she hopes people will support her cookbook.

She joked, “Apparently, I need to take the human child home with me once I give birth? What will I feed the human child dawg? Think about it… so please buy my book so it’s not awkward between me and the child, thanx.”

Her light-hearted plea had fans laughing, but it also reflected a softer, emotional side of her journey into motherhood.

Tlokana thrilled her followers when she announced that she was expecting her first child. The news came after she posted breathtaking photos from her pregnancy shoot on Sunday, 31 August 2025. In the photos, she looked radiant and confident, wearing a stylish suit instead of a traditional maternity dress — a choice she explained in a heartfelt message to her unborn baby.

In her touching letter, she wrote:

“To my little human child. I chose a suit instead of a dress because mommy’s very different and eccentric. See, mommy’s always the odd one out and you’re going to love that about me. And you know what? I’m going to love you until I draw my last breath. I didn’t think I’d meet you this soon. I didn’t even think I’d meet you at all, yet here we are my little one, here we are. You are the beginning of everything, the beginning of unconditional love, unconditional happiness and unconditional faith. You are my genesis, the beginning of my existence. I love you.”
