Cape Malay is unique to the Western Cape. It dates back to the 17th Century and has evolved to reflect the influences of the times. Originally a product of the early Indian and Malay settlers in the Cape and since adapted by the creative indigenous cooks of this area.

Liz McGrath, top hotelier and owner of The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel, recognised the need for the development of this local cuisine. She met with Cass Abrahams, a South African expert on this cuisine and the cultural history of the Cape Malays. After extensive research, discussions, tasting and trials, the Cape Malay Experience was born.

Please come join Martha and her entourage in the Kitchen for a traditional Cape Malay cooking experience!
