Cape Malay Cooking Class: Join Lorette in her spacious kitchen for a hands-on cooking class where you'll prepare 2-3 traditional Cape Malay dishes using family recipes and fresh herbs from her garden. Depending on the season, your menu may include homemade rotis with Cape Malay chicken curry, bobotie served with yellow rice and vegetables, and warm malva pudding with custard. After cooking, sit down together to enjoy the meal you've prepared while learning about South African culture and daily life over local wine.

Traditional South African Braai Class: Learn the art of a South African braai (barbecue), a cherished social tradition centered around cooking over an open fire. This interactive demonstration and hands-on experience includes favorites such as rosemary and garlic lamb chops, traditional boerewors sausage, garlic braai bread, grilled seasonal vegetables, creamy South African potato salad, and warm malva pudding with vanilla custard. Share the feast with your hosts over relaxed conversation and local South African wine.
