This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. be welcomed into Lorette and Desmond’s beautiful home in Grassy Park, built by Lorette's dad 44 years ago. Lorette bought the home from her parents when she and Desmond married and they redesigned and renovated their home themselves. After a welcome drink, join Lorette in her spacious, modern kitchen for your South African Cape Malay cooking class. Lorette is also a keen gardener and loves using fresh herbs from her garden to cook her meals. You can expect to learn how to make 2-3 of the dishes which might include mini roti's with chicken curry (the Cape Malay roti is a delicious unleavened flatbread served with chicken curry), bobotie (a South African dish of curried minced meat baked with a savory custard served with aromatic yellow rice and roasted vegetables) and malva pudding. The cooking class portion of the experience will last between 1-2 hours before you share the meal you helped prepare over conversation with Lorette and Desmond. Lorette's mom and dad (Rachel and Kenneth) also live on the property and they might pop in to say hello from time to time.

Loretta was so friendly and a really great chef. Her recipes were easy to follow and super tasty. We had a wonderful time in her beautiful home. The highlight was making our own roti’s and of course eating the delicious food. Highly recommend this experience.

If you want to really delve into the Malay food and culture of South Africa, there is no better option than Lorette. She is welcoming and happy to share her home, history, and food. My husband and I love food and cooking but no prior cooking experience is needed. We made the most wonderful butter chicken, roti, and Malva pudding which we easily recreated - chicken and roti - back at home. Being with Lorette is like being with an old friend. She adeptly guided us through the steps for making the meal and then we all sat together eating and talking. It was one of the best experiences in a week of great memories. Don’t hesitate - book with Lorette!
Amazing Food!!!

Working with Aashi at Traveling Spoon was great. She was efficient, timely and honest. I hope to work with her more often. Our experience cooking with Lorette and meeting her family was AWESOME. A definite highlight of our Cape Town visit. Lorette is a fabulous cook, her home is warm and inviting, she is a kind and patient teacher and lots of fun. Everyone in my group of 9 persons loved, loved the experience. They can’t wait to try her recipe of African traditional dishes at home.

Spending our evening with Lorette was amazing. Her warm hospitality and experience with African recipes was exactly what we were looking for. She invited us into her beautiful home graciously and we shared so many wonderful stories. We prepared chicken curry, roti and malva pudding. The food was a 10/10 and the roti was a 12/10. The aromas filled the kitchen and it was a perfect evening. We chose her because of her 5 star reviews and our expectations were exceeded.
Lovely cooking experience in Capetown
