Cape Malay Cooking Classes

Here is an insight into her fabulous Cape Town cooking class which I had the pleasure to attend.

After Cass Abraham’s short introduction into the South African cooking and listening to her exciting stories and experiences, she gets you to don a chef’s hat and apron and off you go into the kitchen. All the ingredients already have been carefully prepared by her sous-chef before and are laid out for you on a huge table.

During the course of the morning you will get to prepare a delicious menu with starter, main course and dessert under her watchful eyes and with her gentle guidance. After the meal is cooked you all sit down with Cass Abrahams and have a good chat.

Delicious starter prepared during the cooking lesson

It is a real pleasure being taught the secrets of the Cape Malay cuisine when going through some of Cass Abrahams’ recipes and cooking the typical South African dishes.

Mrs Abrahams cooking class is very relaxed, she really encourages you to try for yourself to get the taste right and enjoy cooking.

Book a class and enjoy cooking traditional South African food!
