5.00Dinner/cooking with Richard and Gillian was great! Would totally recommend for any Cape Town visit! We had delightful and informative conversation and instructions. Great food and intimate setting showing daily South African life. I even learned a new cooking technique with the braai part of the meal. A dinner with Richard and Gillian is a must!!!
Amazing local cooking experience!

5.00A wonderful Experience with welcoming hosts who had certainly gone the extra mile to make the meal an interesting one which show cases South African traditional cuisine. Carefully chosen wine accompanied each course and an added bonus was a personalized recipe and information booklet on the meal and the origins of the dishes being served.
