Overview

Awarded Silver at WTM Africa by the International Centre for Responsible Tourism for Cultural Diversity, this hands-on cooking experience offers a meaningful introduction to Cape Town’s Cape Malay culinary heritage.
Join us for a stroll through Salt River to source ingredients and engage with the neighbourhood, followed by preparing a traditional Cape Malay meal. No prior cooking experience is required, just an interest in food and culture.
Guests are guided through key elements of the cooking process while learning about the historical influences that have shaped this cuisine. Along the way, the experience explores the socio-cultural identity of the Cape Muslim community.
The experience is flexible and participatory, allowing guests to engage at their own pace, and offers a genuine connection through food, stories and shared moments in a local setting with local home cooks.
