Our history
The people in The Star’s Angela Day department have always been angels to thousands of South Africans – and that’s exactly how the name came about. They are the angels of the day for those whose culinary, household and other problems they cheerfully solve, and often field up to 100 queries a day.
The first Angela Day column – written by Lorraine Jacobs – appeared on June 20, 1964. The new venture, which included a telephone service, promised to help answer any domestic query relating to recipes and household and baby care. It was an immediate success and Jacobs and her team soon found themselves being legal experts, marriage guidance counsellors and a shoulder and ear for the lonely. The name soon became a beloved institution as Angela Day and her team made friends far and wide.
During the past 40 years Angela Day has grown from a small black and white recipe column to a not-to-be-missed full food feature in The Star newspaper on a Monday and a Thursday, which is syndicated throughout the Independent Group. Subsequent Angela Day’s have included Lorraine van Vledder, Paula Blacking, Helen Martin, Ruth Woolfson, Lyndall Popper, Hilary Biller and the present incumbent Jenny Kay. They’ve produced more than 12 best-selling cookbooks and the original blue cookbook is now a collector’s item.
