Join your warm and friendly hosts Richard and Gillian in their kitchen for a fun cooking demonstration! During your cooking lesson that lasts about 1.5 hours, you will learn to make 2-3 authentic South African dishes. Learn the proper technique to braai (barbecue) delicious rump steak, stuff and braise chicken in a fresh tomato sauce or whip up a lemon meringue for dessert. Richard and Gillian are chefs and restaurant owners who believe in using high quality ingredients. Richard is a winemaker very knowledgeable about local wines. Food is the center of their home, with large indoor and outdoor dining tables, a kitchen, and braai. Like most South Africans, cooking on the braai is the couple's favorite meal and social activity. Learn about the different foods traditional to South Africa’s diverse culture (Cape Malay, Afrikaans, English, and African). Your South African meal includes dishes from a variety of these culinary traditions, including foods such as bredie (stew), curry, braai roasts and salads. Your meal concludes with a traditional dessert such as malva tart (sweet pudding) or koeksisters (a syrup-coated twisted or braided doughnut).
