My husband and I went for a pizza making class at Spilsbury's Kitchen and had the best time. Nicola and her staff, Belinda and Rosie, were incredibly welcoming, professional, well prepared, attentive and accommodating - such a well coordinated team.
The cooking experience is without rules or pressure - just pure fun. We all learnt some pizza making tricks and made a great pizza each, and Nicola prepared a gorgeous salad and homemade ice cream as well.
The setting definitely adds to the experience. Hidden away in a charming little courtyard, the store is spotless, cozy, homely and tastefully decorated with beautiful kitchen goodies to buy.
Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike.

Spilsbury kitchen was a sensational experience. It was the best and most enjoyable cookery course for me and my friends so far. The concept is well organised and Nicola explains her passion with dedication. We also had a very nice group. My husband told me afterwards that the food was the best we've eaten so far. Dear Nicola, thank you very much and we will be back soon.

Thank you Nicola & Rosie for a wonderful night.
It was just my friend & I, so it felt like a private class.
We had many laughs, lots of dancing & some bubbles while preparing a lovely feast. The food was delicious (especially the chicken, naan and butternut & beetroot curry)!
We enjoyed our dinner under candlelight due to the loadshedding.
What an amazing experience.
I’d definitely recommend it.

We had the most amazing experience cooking with Nicola! The food we made was absolutely delicious and so creative. We had a ton of fun and laughed so much! Nicola taught us some cool tricks and tips which we can’t wait to try out when we get back home. We will be impressing our friends with what we learned! It was the best thing we did while I’m Franschhoek. She Hosts the experience in her home with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves food and great wine!

We had a wonderful evening learning to cook delicious South African dishes in Nicola's beautiful kitchen studio with the help of Nicola and Belinda. Then we all sat down to a feast of the various dishes we had made in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Can't recommend this experience enough. I feel confident enough now to go home and make milk tart and bunny chow at home!

We had an absolutely wonderful evening being expertly guided by Nicola in the preparation of some of Italy’s gastronomic wonders. Nicola - ably assisted by Rosie made preparing the various courses great fun and there was a real feast afterward. Great evening, lots of laughter and couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

What an amazing evening of learning, chopping, eating and making new friends. I can honestly say this was a highlight of our 3 week vacation in South Africa. Nicola’s warm guidance and superb organization and teaching skills made this a very memorable night.
Coming from Canada, this was a fabulous way to learn how to make some classic South African fare with a Nicola twist! And the resulting meal was
A delicious feast shared with our fellow cooks:)
