Meet Suzie Wandrag, the fiery queen of the braai!
Suzie’s love for braai has been lifelong, but she took it to the next level by founding Women Fire Food four years ago—a platform dedicated to teaching women (and even some eager men!) the art of braaiing and smoking. With almost eight years of smoking experience and decades of braaiing under her belt, Suzie is the ultimate expert, whether it’s an 8-hour smoked brisket, homemade bacon, pulled pork, ribs, or even a simple steak.
She’s no stranger to the spotlight, having competed in Kokkedoor Vuur en Vlam Season 2 and winning accolades at BBQ competitions, including 1st place for her beef at Gauteng’s Outdoor X in 2024.
Suzie is also the proud founder of the Chilli Club South Africa, hosting chilli-eating competitions and crafting her award-winning hot sauce, Donkiebyt, which scooped gold and double gold at the Aurora International Taste Challenge in 2021.
Suzie doesn’t just grill; she brings the fun! From hosting “Ladies Only” braais complete with line dancing, karaoke, and laughter to riding motorbikes with the best of them, Suzie embodies the spirit of adventure and community. She’s on a mission to prove that women can braai just as well—if not better—than anyone else.
With a butterfly tattoo on her neck and a zest for life, Suzie is ready to bring the heat and redefine what it means to braai!
