Superb fun experience - Our group of 4 recently took the cooking experience with Nikki. What a fun experience it was. Nikki is a superb cook /chef with great credentials and experience and at the same time has such a welcoming easy going personality, we immediatley felt relaxed. Learning about the local culinery culture, history and traditions while participating in the cooking, eating the food we cooked with a few bottles of wine and great company, what could be better.

An epic epicurean evening - What an epic evening! With the charming Nicola and lovely Belinda we learned to cook South African dishes, how to chop onions (the clever way), grate ginger and garlic, and lots more, and all while having great chats. Nicola is a gifted teacher as well as a top chef so we were well fed and educated. A lot of fun - thank you, Nicola and Belinda.

Fantastic cooking experience in a beautiful setting with warm and friendly company. - We had a wonderful evening learning to cook delicious South African dishes in Nicola's beautiful kitchen studio with the help of Nicola and Belinda. Then we all sat down to a feast of the various dishes we had made in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Can't recommend this experience enough. I feel confident enough now to go home and make milk tart and bunny chow at home!
