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!

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.

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!

What a wonderful experience for our honeymoon. Belinda and Rosie were incredible hosts and a delight to spend an afternoon/evening with. We have learnt how to cook an amazing variety of delicious South African dishes and truly had a tantalising feast at the end, along with some very generous bubbles. One of our highlights of our honeymoon and fully recommended.

An absolutely fabulous evening. Belinda and Rosie delivered a well presented, informative and fun evening during which we got hands on with making 5 dishes. All local south african recipes that we then enjoyed at the end with some lovely wine and bubbles.
The best cookery school I have attended. Great value for money

We absolutely ADORED our evening with Nicola and her incredible crew. We were a group of 8, and there was another couple there as well. The atmosphere was warm, jovial, and just like a giant hug. Nicola spent time explaining everything we were going to prepare, and then divided us into pairs to prep and cook our dishes. We made delicious, traditional South African Bobotie, fresh fish, salads, and a scrumptious milk tart. Then we sat at the large central dining table and enjoyed the fruits of our labor all together. We were provided recipes at the end of the evening. If you are a foodie, like to cook, or are just interested in a wonderful and unique evening in Franschoek, do not miss this!

We had an absolutely amazing experience learning to cook a variety of delicious South African dishes! The class was small and intimate, with just four participants, which made it feel personal and engaging. Our instructor, Belinda, was exceptional—she gave each of us just the right amount of attention, ensuring we felt confident and involved every step of the way. It was not only fun but also incredibly enriching, and we left with newfound skills and a deeper appreciation for South African cuisine. Highly recommended!
