Your host shares recipes passed down through generations of the Cape Malay community. Prepare bobotie (the national dish), samoosas, dhaltjies, koeksisters, and fragrant Cape Malay curry. After cooking together, sit down to enjoy the feast you've prepared with local stories and laughter. A walking tour of the colourful streets and a visit to the Bo-Kaap Museum are included. Max 6 guests ensures an intimate, hands-on experience.
