Nestled in the heart of Cape Town, our Cape Malay cooking experience is a captivating journey through history, culture and cuisine. Discover the remarkable story of a community whose traditions have shaped the culinary identity of South Africa. Guided by experienced hosts, we’ll prepare a traditional Cape Malay meal and discover the secrets of carefully blended spices and cooking techniques that have been passed down through generations of Cape Malay families.

Upon collection from your hotel, drive through the cobbled streets and the colourful houses in Bo-Kaap, setting the stage for stories of family recipes passed down through generations, enchanting aromas of spices and treasured ingredients. On arrival guests will be welcomed with a traditional Cape Malay drink, followed by an interactive cooking session of folding traditional samoosas or sugaring freshly made koeksisters and preparing a Cape Malay Chicken curry. Afterwards we’ll enjoy the meal together, sharing stories about the Bo-Kaap community, family gatherings, festive celebrations, and the role food plays in bringing people together.
