3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

A welcome drink and a snack will be served at the dining table when you arrive in our home, along with an introduction to what's on the menu. You will be given an apron, a pen and a note and a slipper to put on.

The hands-on cooking class will be held in the home kitchen. Your host will explain all the ingredients involved, the story behind the dish, and, of course, provide clear step-by-step instructions.

You can choose between the Indonesian, Cape Malay or Thai menus as stated. Please make sure to indicate which menu you prefer beforehand.

Your hands-on cooking class will last about two hours, and then you will sit down in the dining room to enjoy the meals you and your host have prepared together.

What to expect

Spend 3 hours in a private cooking class and lunch at the private home of your host, Echi Ismail in Newlands. Echi's home is nestled in a leafy, historical suburb of Cape Town, close to tourist attractions such as Kirstenbosch Garden and en route to the Cape of Peninsula attractions.

To local Capetonians, your host is a well-known Indonesian and Asian cooking instructor. She is married to a Capetonian, hence she is proficient in Cape Malay cuisine, as Cape Town has been her second home for two decades.

Experience an unforgettable hands-on cooking class as well as the combined hospitalities and cultures of Indonesian (Asia) and Cape Malay (Africa) during your visit. Keen to try dressing up in an Indonesian traditional outfit for a pic or two? Your host is more than happy to lend her traditional costume collection!

The cooking and lunch experience is only available during weekdays morning-afternoon (Monday-Friday).
