Day Trip
Go on a culinary adventure with our Bo-Kaap Cooking Tour and discover the rich tapestry of Cape Malay cuisine, a fusion born in the heart of Africa. Trace its roots back to the 17th and 18th centuries, when exiled dissidents and slaves from the Dutch East Indies brought their culinary traditions to the Cape. While Asian influences are evident, Cape Malay cooking has seamlessly adapted to local conditions and ingredient availability.
Delve into the heart of community life as you explore the integral role of food in Cape Malay culture. Hosting guests goes beyond providing delicious meals; it involves engaging conversations and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Experience the unique dining tradition where all courses are presented simultaneously on the table, allowing everyone to choose their preferred sequence. The lady of the household ensures the comfort of all, rarely taking a seat at the table.
Savor the exquisite flavors of Geel rys (yellow rice) with saffron, cinnamon, and raisins, perfectly complementing the aromatic bredie lamb casseroles. Indulge in mouth-watering crayfish curries paired with flaky roti breads, and no Cape Malay meal is complete without an array of condiments – from palate-cooling sambals to fiery blatjang chutneys, pickles, and atjars. For those with a sweet tooth, be sure to try the coconut-infused koesister fritters, a precursor to the Afrikaans platted koeksisters.
