The tour and cooking class with Faldela was amazing! We learned a lot about the history and culture of Bo-Kaap in the walking tour at the beginning. The trip to the spice shop was also very informative and nice. Finally, the cooking class was lots of fun and the food was delicious! I can definitely recommend booking this activity and would do it again!

We learnt interesting history on.the. Cape Malay community and the Islamic faith that is fundamental to the Cape Malay culture,. We enjoyed the cooking lessons and learnt how to fold samoosas, fry chilli bites, make fresh roti and curry from scratch. thank you Faldela for a wonderful afternoon, we highly recommend the tour and cooking class and three course meal.

Really enjoyed the opportunity to sit and chat and break bread with locals and fellow travelers. The cooking lesson was entertaining and the menu items easily repeatable at home. The walking tour is a nice compliment and a nice length to work up an appetite.
