The feisty chef and author Cass Abrahams takes us on an historical journey of Cape Malay cuisine. Using a palette of spices she shares her wisdom and insight into the exotic and aromatic world of Cape flavours. Learn about the origins of well-known words like blatjang and atchar and how they have become part of the South African lexicon. Prepare your own traditional Cape Malay Feast with pickled fish, Green bean bredie, lamb beryani, smoorsnoek, boeber, dhai and much more. Join Cass at African Relish’s brand new recreational cooking school in Prince Albert for an unforgettable culinary experience, luxury accommodation and great company.
