The unique Bo-Kaap area is must see for anyone travelling to Cape Town. If you love a bit of historical insight, learning about different food cultures plus experiencing a hands on cooking lesson then this is the tour for you. Our guide & highly regarded chef Zainie Misbach started off by leading the way around her 'hood' on cobblestone streets where jewel coloured houses dot the lower part of Signal Hill. She gave us a detailed insight to the people & history of the Bo-Kaap before proceeding onto the local Spice Shop. Here we were introduced to the art of mixing Masala which in turn was incorporated in the cookery demonstration of a Cape Malay Curry at her charming 'blue' house. Discovering the technique of folding Samoosa's, shown the spooning technique for frying Daaltjies (chilli bites) & the secret to making light flaky Rootis were also included & finally we all enjoyed a rather lovely lunch!
