CAPE MALAY COOKING SAFARI

Includes: Guided Walking Tour of historical heart
of the Bo-Kaap with accredited tour guide,
Cooking Workshop and demonstration, full course traditional meal,  small gift.

Perched on the slopes of Signal Hill, overlooking
Table Bay, the Bo-Kaap is as idiosyncratically
'Cape' as the spicy scents and flavours that waft
downhill from its eccentrically colourful cobbled streets.

Our walk through the historic Malay quarter of
Cape Town takes us through its nooks and
crannies, its legends and secrets, as we hunt for
the sources of those wonderful aromas and
discover the distinctive cuisine of the Cape Malay community.

Featured on TV (Discovery Channel, RTL), in
magazines (Winescape, Food & Home, Lonely Planet)
and in the press (Cape Argus, Cape Times) the
Cape Malay Cooking Safari is a truly special Cape
experience, and a model example of the Andulela
philosophy of giving back to the communities that
welcome us.

 A number of home businesses have
sprouted up in this area as a direct result of
the interest generated by this unique tour.

The adventure begins at the Bo-Kaap Museum, where
an intimate group of no more than ten people will
meet to enjoy the photo exhibition, and get a
feel for the history and tradition of the area.

Your guide will lead you on a leisurely stroll
through some of the more historic streets, giving
you a chance to appreciate the extraordinary
collection of pre-1840 architecture that resulted
in this area being declared a national monument.

Then its time to follow our noses towards the
scents of ginger, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon,
and chilli which drift tantalisingly from the
storefronts and cafés, as we shop for ingredients
to make a typical Cape Malay dish.

It's "hands-on" during the informal cooking
workshop which follows in a Bo-Kaap family home.
We learn how to mix Masala, fold Samoosas, and
how to balance the delicate flavours of a Cape Malay curry.

Over a mug of faloodah (a traditional, lightly
rose-scented milk drink) our hostess and cooking
instructor will tell you more about the ways in
which food, history and religion are interwoven in the Bo-Kaap culture.

Then it's time to sit back, relax, and appreciate
your handiwork as you dig in to a full course traditional Malay meal.

After your meal, you will be transferred to table Mountain(optional)  and or thereafter you will be dropped off at your hotel.
