Delicious day to remember!

sal_m, Aug 2023

Such a memorable day from start to finish. I was by myself and felt like I was with friends the entire time, Coleen and Ruth really make you feel at home. The food was amazingly flavorful and well explained. I’m so happy I booked this, easy Uber there and back, and had plenty of leftovers to snack on back at the hotel. Truly an honor to learn about and taste Coleens cooking techniques that represent her culture, that I knew so little about beforehand. I will definitely try to recreate what we made for family back home. If ever back in Cape Town I would definitely go again.
