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