I’m not entirely sure which category this post should fall under. I eventually decided to put it under General because it just doesn’t belong anywhere else. I have only posted once before on cooking courses (here) and that was a while ago. Interestingly, that has been one of the most hit posts on Relax with Dax and the one with the most comments. It seems there are a lot of people out there who are interested in cooking courses. The comments on that post included the details of a number of cooking courses in Cape Town, it seems there are quite a few. It’s quite arduous to read through all the comments to try and find the suitable options, so I have decided to collate the information here, in one comprehensive list.
If there are still others which I have left off the list, then please post the details in a comment. Also, if you have been on any of these courses, please post a comment on your experience and tell how it rated on value, fun and informativeness. I have just recently attended Sense of Taste cooking school and you can read that review here and I also attended a class at the SA Chefs Academy which I review here.
***Please read through the comments below as a whole lot of other cooking classes/courses have been added there.
Please bear in mind that the course details and prices are current at time of writing but will definitely change over time. To avoid surprises or disappointment, you are advised to call and confirm the details and pricing.

The superfoods course is actually an uncooking course as all the meals are raw. If you’re thinking carpaccio or sushi you’re only halfway there (the sushi is vegetarian, and carpaccio or other meat dishes are not on the menu). It is an excellent course, though, that will have you thinking differently about food. Recommended if you have an interest in eating healthily and your muesli is no longer doing it for you. The food was delicious and Peter and Beryn knowledgeable and inspiring. I’ve reviewed their course over here
Hi Dax
Thanks for the feature. I’ll only be ale to determine exactly what is happening with the cooking courses after the season, which is around March next year. The Deli has been full since we opened 6 weeks ago, and we are battling to keep up with the demand, as well as prepare for season! Its really been fantastic! I may be adding more courses to the mix, but probabaly not hands-on, that we’ll be hosting at the Deli in the evenings, including food and wine paring, food presentation, unusual taste combinations, etc. I’ll still hold the occasional evening courses from now, which may be limited to certain styles of cooking such as Thai, Sushi, Mediterranean and Pacific Rim (which I used to teach at Pick n Pay). I’ll let you know once things have settled down.
Come and take a look at Deli Delish sometime – its really something different! Take a look at Eatout.co.za for info.

On the vegetarian side, apparently the owner of Krishna’s Pure Vegetarian Cuisine in the Riverside Mall, Rondebosch, offers cookery classes. Call the restaurant on 021 685 5767
Eat In magazine has a list of cooking schools, most of them are listed above but this is one I don’t have:
Marlene van der Westhuizen 021 439 6610 / 083 658 5249
“When she’s not putting together her drool-worthy books or jetting to her home in France to soak up inspiration, this tireless talent offers cooking classes in her Greenpoint kitchen. Taking up to 12 people, she enjoys the one on one experience that gets participants up close and personal with French country specialities with an undeniable Cape flavour.”
I visited Cape Town in 2000 and found a great restaurant that was also a place where chef’s learned their craft. I can’t remember the name but it was in a sketchy part of Cape Town. Fantastic Restaurant…Can anyone tell me the name and if it still exists?
I wonder if that was Emily’s Bistro in Woodstock. Its no longer there – but now in more salubrious surroundings at the V & A
Another place offering cooking courses is Maya’s Kitchen. They mainly sell kitchen wares, but are now offering cooking courses.
I don’t have much details except that you can attend in Claremont or Seapoint.

Apparently Mezzaluna, the newish Italian restaurant at 16 Loop Street offers cooking courses on Wednesday evenings.
I don’t know much more than that but call them on 021 421 6391 for more details.
La Masseria in Durbanville also offers Italian cooking classes in the evening. Covering things like bread making, pasta making, starters, comfort food, etc.
Courses are R350 and include welcome drink and meal plus the recipes.

HiDax, I represent a talented young pizza maker and think he should also start offering cooking lessons. Any tips?
@Meredith, I’m no expert in starting a cooking school business. I would guess you need to decide if it will be a demonstration lesson or if people will get to make their own. That will dictate the size kitchen and the implements required.
Then you just need to start marketing to people, get a few groups in and get them to spread the word.
Hi,
I really would like to learn to make danish pastry and croissants.
Any suggestions?
Any courses raccomanded?
Thank you.

Olivello in Stellenbosch also offers cooking demonstrations. Good for a team event.
http://www.olivello.co.za
time to remove Mr Gallagher since he’s almost certainly not returning to SA?
Good point, Lauren. I have removed him from the listing.
Dax…
I’ll be visiting Capetown for a little over a week at the end of January 2010. I have attended Culinary School, focusing on Classic French Cuisine, in the states, but am very interested in taking a once off course for cooking African cuisine. Is something like that offered in Cape Town? Thanks!
Hi Emily, I can’t think of one that offers African cuisine specifically. I’m not sure what exactly African cuisine would inclide, to be honest.
The best bet would be to see if any of the schools listed above have an evening session dedicated to African cuisine.
Maybe do a search for Malay cooking classes as that is probably our most unique and appealing cuisine.
Dax hi, and also to answer visiting Emily. We are a newly opened recreational cooking school. African Relish is based in Prince Albert, an oasis in the Karoo. 4 hrs from CT. Our newly built culinary hall is in our olive orchard, resident chef Vanie Padayachee conducts seasonal cookery courses for visiting foodies. These can be from one to five days. Scheduled courses are given by visiting chefs like Reza Mahammad who gave a course in Aug this year. Our vege garden provides abundant fresh produce. Nov 21 is the Harvest festival in town and we are doing a great harvest course. We specialise in South African cuisine and its many influences. Great for the those with a culinary curiousity. warm regards. lisa key
Thanks for the reply on the new cooking school. I have found two cooking classes with locals through Cape Fusion cooking school. I have been e-mailing back and forth with Pamela, the founder I believe, who has been extremely helpful. So my cooking classes with local African flavor needs are met!
Hi
I am trying to find the French cuisine cooking school in Green Point, Cape Town. All I know is that it is in Green Point,it is decorated in the Provençal style and she lives in France for about half the year. She was featured on the magazine programme “Pasella” on SABC 2 a few months ago.
Any ideas?
Hi
Does anyone know where in Cape Town one can find Food Artistry classes, ie. carving of vegetables, fruits, bento preparation, or making of edible table centrepieces etc. ?
There is a new cooking school offering a six lesson course for R1200 as well as Saturday morning cooking classes for kids.
On the Menu
Tel: 021 975 0982 / 083 204 6467

Does anybody know how to reach Marlene van der Westhuizen (Sumptuous)? I am keen to find out about her courses in France but cant find any contact details…
Merci
To Johan and Claire…The woman who runs the cooking school in Greenpoint is called Marlene van der Westhuizen and you can contact her cooking studio on 021 439 6610/021 433 2259. You should be able to find out about her courses in France from that number as well.

The Chocolate Studio in the Cape Quarter offers courses on various topics like: desserts, confectionary, etc.
http://www.chocolatestudio.co.za/
My partner and I attended the Sense of Taste vegetarian cooking course last week, and what a lot of fun that was! We were on a high when we left.
Very friendly, very welcoming. Free wine throughout the evening made for a very jovial evening. The chef, Peter, is very knowledgeable, and very generous with sharing his knowledge — never a moment when I felt I was asking too many questions, and all questions were dealt with graciously, no-one ever had to feel stupid. The staff were incredible, made our evening a really lovely experience.
However… we ate far too much! By the end of the evening I had to pack our dishes as take-aways cos I couldn’t fit another thing in.
But herein is an issue I did have: we made too many courses at a superficial level. For every course, part of the ingredients had been prepared in advance. The bunny chow rolls had been mixed and baked for us. The laksa paste and broth had been done for us. The polenta, mixed and baked, the tomato sauce cooked in advance. So, while I did gain good skills (like how to chop an onion in no time at all), I felt I didn’t quite learn a whole dish in its entirety. And I would dearly have loved to have learned how to make vegetarian laksa without the shrimp and fish sauce. I came away feeling like I just learned to saute different veggies, and that I do enough on a regular basis.
The chef said a huge amount of preparation had gone into our evening — his staff had prepared all our ingredients. I really do appreciate all their hard work, but I would suggest not doing anything for us, and limiting our evening to cooking one main dish from start to finish, and one dessert.
As for the desserts — WOW!!! They had a pastry chef from Vanilla Haus come in and demonstrate and give really handy tips (also very generous with her knowledge), and the desserts were out of this world. No, we didn’t make any.
I would definitely recommend Sense of Taste for a fantastic evening out — I can imagine having a party or team building there, they really go all out to making your experience wonderful.
Hi Dax,
Just wanted to remind you that we also do cooking courses!
They are all 4 hours in duration and generally held on Sunday (11am-3pm) or Wednesday evenings (6 – 10pm).
Our specialities are: preserving; traditional Jewish cooking and Mediterranean cuisine.
The courses are very hands on, with everyone getting fully involved in the cooking process.
Fun, informative and fully interactive. Each person will be able to take home with them the fruits of their labour.
Costs are R400 and please contact Lewis on 021 447 0400 (lewis@odeds-kitchen.co.za) for more information.

Hi Dax
I studied at Silwood Kitchen for +/- 2 1/2 years… Have now left the course, but I can vouch for their short courses. They’re very well-presented and go into quite a lot of detail. On the other side, the courses are often led by final-year students at the school which can be quite disconcerting, but they know what they’re doing 🙂
hi, i want to take customers on a course and was researching where to go! Finding your site has halved my work! Thank you, what great info!
The food room, run by Kate George, runs cooking classes as well. They’re on facebook – http://www.facebook.com/foodroom and their website is http://www.foodroom.co.za
The menus seem great, and seem to change quite frequently to suit the seasons.
Hi
I would like like to send my wife for cooking classes, as a surprise (Shes a great cook but loves cooking & wants to learn more). We both work & she would not be able to attend on a week day. Is there any cooking classes offered on week ends (besides Lewis Nieburg?
Thanks
Kevan
Hi. Like Isabelle, I am looking for Chinese or Thai cooking classes. Any suggestions please? Thanks!
Here is our experience with Stircrazy in Houtbay, which we did for a dinnerclub.

Hello, I would like to join your cooking classes, but i dont seem to see the infomation details about your classes. Please can you provide me with some details as soon as possible. Thank you
Hello all.
I am wondering if anyone has any idea on where I could look into doing a more full on cooking course without having to sign up to a year or 3 year qualification. Something like an intense 6 or 12 week course?
Thanks very much
Kirsty
Hi Kirsty
i offer cooking courses for 4 weeks, or one off’s, depending on what you want to learn.
if you look at my webiste the new courses are being loaded all the time. i am in Sea Point. http://www.nicetouch.co.za

Where can i get a certifiacte on a very short course on “Baking bread” The course shouldmt take longer than a month, please help?
hi there!i’m interest in one of courses baker and confection can you direct me where can i find and much can be cost for part time course?my lovely regards joseph
hi where can i find a short courses for baker,bread,cake,biscuit,desert,thank you
Hi Dax
Do you have any idea which of these are still running and costs? I’ve been meaning to get started, but with all the restaurant specials on at the moment mostly its just easier to eat out.
I must admit I haven’t updated the list in a while, but most of them are still running. The prices will probably have increased a bit. I went to Sense of Taste which was good fun and I learnt a lot. You can read my full review here http://relaxwithdax.com/sense-of-taste-cooking-course-review
Would also like to know of any bakeries doing bread baking courses during the day
many thanks Debbie
