The best rainy day activity in Cape Town! - We had the best experience and cooking class. Florence and Caleb were so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history of African Cuisine. Rose was lovely and helped us when preparing the dishes. The whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. This is definitely a must do when visiting Cape Town. (And the food was delicious)

Great experience! - What an exciting dinner! We stepped outside of the box and tried foods we never had before. Very fun, very eye-opening! We had the beef and chicken and they were both amazing.

Nice - The cooking experience was quite enjoyable. However, it leaned more towards dining and photography rather than actual cooking. This was a little disappointing and not quite what I had anticipated.
