Elevated Cooking Class - This was not just a cooking class, but an educational journey. They not only described the ingredients, but the history behind them too. And, the food was very authentic, home cooked, and delicious!

Must do!! - I had the best experience here! They are so sweet here and the food we made was great!! Definite a must do while in Cape Town. It’s family owned and they give you a lot of back story of the heritage of the food and people.

Great Instruction, Insight and Eats - Florence, Caleb, and Rose are the best. They provide history of food culture, migration and traditional food processing. I made every dish and then ate everything up. It was the best experience in Cape Town.

Must do cooking class in Cape Town! - This is a must-do activity while in Cape Town! You not only learn how to cook traditional African foods, but about the history of the food and the nutritional benefits as well. We got to try some unique :) starters and enjoyed a lovely meal with Caleb and Florence at the end. Rose was also fantastic. Highly recommend this activity!
