Cape Malay Cooking in a Bo-Kaap Home

Cape Town· South Africa

9.0

Your host walks you through the Bo-Kaap's painted streets and its Cape Malay history — which is inseparable from the food — before you fold samosas, temper spices for denningvleis, and sit down to eat what you made around her table. It is personal in a way restaurant experiences cannot fake. The neighborhood walk is short but hilly, and the class runs halal with no alcohol served; bring your appetite and leave the wine plans for after.
