Travel inland from the port in Cape Town and discover the culture through food, in this South African cooking demonstration in a local home, in Wynberg. We recommend this Cape Town Shore Excursion to cruise travelers, for a true and authentic taste of local cuisine. Join Richard and Gillian in their kitchen for a Cape Town cooking demonstration and learn how to make two of the dishes you will be eating later. Richard and Gillian would love to know your preference before they set the menu and would be happy to teach you dishes you are keen on learning. You will watch as your hosts prepare a prawn and nectarine salad or teach you how to braai delicious rump steak or cook chicken breasts in tomato sauce with a spinach and feta stuffing and a lemon meringue. You can expect your cooking demonstartion to last for 1 hour. Your meal may include traditional bredie (stew), braai (bbq), salad, and will end with traditional desserts such as malva tart (sweet pudding) or lemon meringue or koeksisters (a syrup-coated twisted or braided doughnut).

Upon debarkation, walk through the customs hall and proceed to the terminal information area/terminal reception located a few steps from the exit of the Cape Town Cruise Terminal. The local representatives, Richard and Gillian, will be holding a sign with the lead guest's last name. You will then be escorted to a vehicle for an approximate 30 to 60-minute drive to their home in Wynberg for the cooking experience. All guests will be dropped off at the port at the conclusion of the tour. If our local representatives, Richard and Gillian, are not allowed inside the terminal, they will be right outside the entrance when you exit the terminal reception. All operators usually wait in the same spot for their guests, just in front of the terminal, outside the building. We kindly request that you plan to be at the meeting point at least 5 to 10 minutes prior to your scheduled tour time.
