What you'll do
Allow me to virtually welcome you into my home nestled on the slopes of Cape Towns's iconic Table Mountain. Beautiful Bo-Kaap is known for its vibrant and colorful homes, culture, people, and history. Immerse yourself in my happy place—my warm, colorful kitchen—and dive straight into my wonderful world of spices and delicious Cape Malay cuisine. Malay cuisine is known for its sweet, sour, fruity, and aromatic flavors with spices like cinnamon, saffron, aniseed, and tamarind.
I'll unlock the mystery of spices and teach you how to create your own flavorful mixes using combinations handed down to me by my late grandmother.I'll take you step-by-step through my foolproof method of cooking a delicious Malay curry paste. Together, we'll use this paste to cook a delicious vegetarian curry of lentils, beans, or vegetables. We'll also cook an aromatic savory rice to accompany your curry and a simple but tasty sambal or side salad. We'll end the lesson by preparing a warm elixir that celebrates the magical, healing properties of spices. We'll enjoy this drink while I share a few shortcuts and tips on how to create a variety of dishes by making small adaptations to your basic curry.
This Experience is great for team building. Book a private experience for your group. Is your group larger than my listed max group size for private groups? Send me a message...

I’m a third-generation Malay cook who hosts three other Cooking Experiences on Airbnb. I’m passionate about my heritage and started learning how to cook Malay cuisine at the tender age of 9 in my grandparents’ kitchen. As a young adult, I was fortunate to work in the tourism industry and travel the globe for 14 years. Traveling helped me explore my love of food and people in a way that was educational, fun, and engaging. I grew as a home cook with every destination I visited. I spent my time eating my way through flavorful street food, making new friends, and learning about different cultures, religions, and traditions.

Such a lovely, balanced dish. What a pleasure spending my morning cooking with Fayruza, whose thoughtful candor and accessibility made the experience even better. I loved talking with her about traveling through food and felt I met a kindred spirit.

Took this class with 2 friends and we all really enjoyed cooking with Fayruza- It felt like we were with her in her kitchen half a world away as we sat and chatted before cooking. With her guidance, the curry, rice, sambal and turmeric milk were easy to achieve and fantastic (great leftovers too!). Fayruza left us feeling confident that we can make the dishes independently and we're already planning to take another follow-up course with her.

Fayruza is delightful. It was culinary cultural experience. I felt like I had left the confines of my home to be with Fayruza and the friends I shared this experience with. What a wonderful escape from the restrictions imposed by the Covid pandemic.

Fayruza shared her personal story which deeply imbues her cooking with love and delicious flavors. It was a joy to learn about her and Cape Malay cuisine. A very special way to connect with dear friends and cook together as well, in this time of social distancing. The Cape Malay curry was fabulous and will be made again and again in our kitchen!

Two friends and I had a great time making Cape Malay curry and other dishes with Fayruza, all in our own kitchens. She introduced us to a new cuisine and some cooking methods that I will certainly be using again. I also looked up some photos of the part of Cape Town where she is from, and it's just beautiful. Hopefully I will get to visit when travel is possible again and eat some more of this wonderful food!
