• Wynberg - Experience a delightful and engaging South African cooking session with your welcoming hosts, Richard and Gillian, in their kitchen! This interactive cooking demonstration, lasting approximately 1.5 hours, will guide you through the preparation of 2-3 genuine South African dishes. You might learn to braai (barbecue) rump steak, stuff and braise chicken in a fresh tomato sauce, or create a traditional malva pudding for dessert. Richard and Gillian, both chefs and restaurant owners, are committed to using top-quality ingredients. Richard, a winemaker, possesses extensive knowledge of local wines. Their home is centered around food, featuring spacious indoor and outdoor dining areas, a kitchen, and a braai. Like many South Africans, the couple enjoys cooking on the braai as their favorite meal and social activity. Discover the diverse culinary traditions of South Africa, including Cape Malay, Afrikaans, English, and African cuisines. Your South African meal will feature dishes from these varied traditions, such as bredie (stew), curry, and braai roasts. Richard and Gillian are eager to know your preferences before setting the menu and are happy to teach you the dishes you are interested in learning.
