Highlights

Enjoy an authentic cooking class in a Manenberg home with Colleen and Ruth, sisters who have 3 decades of food industry experience. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Colleen and Ruth were born in Manenberg on the Cape Flats, a community borne out of Apartheid's spatial laws, yet rich with diverse cultures. Growing up on the Flats allowed them to forge deep bonds with neighbors, and create a community based on love, kindness and food. Your cooking class will take place in their home kitchen. Learn to make 2-3 traditional Cape Malay dishes from their family recipes and enjoy your meal together in your host's home.


• Learn to cook Cape Malay cuisine which is all about bold flavors and warm hugs in a local home
• Introduction to South Africa's heritage, culture and cuisine
• 100% private activity
• Experience South African hospitality in a residential Manenberg neighborhood
• Vegetarian and gluten free options available

Itinerary

  • Manenberg

    This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet your hosts Colleen and Ruth at Ruth’s home in the Manenberg neighborhood of Cape Town. Join your hosts Colleen and Ruth at Ruth’s home kitchen to learn to cook a Cape Malay meal from recipes that have been passed down through generations of the sisters’ family. Cape Malay cuisine is all about bold flavors and warm hugs. Your hands-on Cape Malay cooking class will last about 2 hours. You will learn to cook a three-course Cape Malay meal including samosas, tomato bredie, rice and dessert. Enjoy learning about the tips and techniques involved in Cape Malay cooking before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare with your hosts Colleen and Ruth. Your menu includes starters, a main and dessert. Enjoy a platter of Cape Malay pastries including samosas, half-moons, and fried spring rolls served with a traditional dhanya (coriander) dipping sauce. This will be followed by a main of Cape Malay tomato bredie, a South African stew of slow-cooked meat and vegetables served with yellow rice, made from a secret family recipe.
