FAQs

About 4 hours, in three parts: a welcome drink and potstickers on arrival, 2 hours of prep and learning (no drinking yet), then 1.5 hours to cook and eat together. We cook as one team. Watch, take notes or get stuck in, it's up to you.

Waterfall Estate, Midrand. 5 minutes from Mall of Africa, 30 minutes from Johannesburg, Pretoria and the airport.

No, we cook together as a team: half demo, half hands-on. You learn from Rany, our founder and a seasoned food educator with 10+ years of experience, from questions and from each other, cover 3–4 recipes, and taste the dish done right, your reference for cooking at home.

Our halal classes use halal-certified meat, with no pork and no alcohol in the cooking. We're not halal-certified, and other guests may have wine with the meal. Non-Muslim guests are welcome too: same authentic recipes. Read the full answer →

Nothing but a healthy appetite and a good sense of humour. We prepare everything.

4 days before, we WhatsApp you directions and your gate access code.

10 years old. Our classes are for anyone who truly wants to learn how to cook, whatever their age. If a young guest can stay focused for around 4 hours and cook alongside adults, they're welcome.

All sales are final. Change your date for free more than 28 days before; fees apply after that. Or send someone in your place at no cost, any time. Full details: Cooking Class T&Cs →

Yes, from 8 guests. Your own class, your own date, just your group.

Smaller group (min 6 people)?

  • Keep it private: pay the min session fee. See the 6-guest examples in our sample quotes.
  • Join a public class: book seats in any class on our calendar. Or request your chosen class on your chosen date, with at least 6 weeks' notice. We fill the remaining seats.

As a general rule, not our regular classes. This avoids conflicts of interest and protects our recipes, which have been copied and sold without our permission before. Now and then we run classes open to everyone, so talk to us first. Chefs and food businesses can also book our consulting or chef training.
