Experience Details
Join Richard and Gillian, chefs who run their own restaurant, for a private 3-hour cooking demonstration and a meal with wine in their lovely home. Food is at the center of this family and home, with large indoor and outdoor dining tables, a kitchen, and braai. Like most South Africans, cooking on the braai is the couple's favorite meal and social activity. Braai is cooking on a fire/barbequing which is very popular and a significant part of the culture in South Africa. Gillian and Richard have a fantastic outdoor braai where they often host. Richard and Gillian have a pet dog.
