This was an absolutely amazing experience.The kitchen is beautiful and clean and a lovely space to learn in. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming.We learned how to make our own burgers - from scratch. They were the best burgers weve ever had, and to think that we can now make them for ourselves is amazing!The host (Chantal) was super friendly and made the whole experience so fun.I would highly recommend this experience! They will definitely be seeing more of me. 🀍

A lovely place with a fresh and classy interior. It is open and neat. This cooking school/ training restaurant does deliver good service. The menu offers a good choice in breakfast and lunch. Everything is well presented. The seating is on two levels. The wheelchair accessible toilet is on the street level, however, there are 2 steps at the entrance. This may prove difficult for wheelchair users

What an amazing opportunity my team and I had at Stir Crazy Cooking School!Firstly, the venue offers picturesque views of the mountain, the greenery and not forgetting that crystal clear swimming pool! We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful sunny day and it was amazing!The Chef was a great teacher, he taught us so many things we never knew existed when cooking or preparing certain foods - I LEARNT A LOT!!The staff made us feel at home and that was the best :). I will definitely be coming back!!

The group and chef was friendly for the Indian cuisine class. However, it was disappointing as we did not learn much. Each person only cooked a single dish, I only got to cook rice! There was no demonstration on cooking each dish, and we pretty much did our own thing with the raw ingredients. I recommend this as a social event, rather than a cooking class. Definitely not worth the price.

Thank you so much Chef Chantal for sharing your amazing skill . I had such an amazing time on both classes ( Wednesday tapas & starters & Saturday’s class Indian cuisine) I learnt so much and will definitely be coming back for more classes. You’re such an amazing teacher and will surely be missing your warmth and passion.

What an amazing experience. I can highly recommend the cooking courses. Did a baking class and not only did we make various recipes, but chef Chantal was professional and attentive, while making the class fun. So many tips to build your confidence as a baker. Thanks very much Stir Crazy!

My family and I, with two kids, had an amazing morning cooking up a storm. we made ostrich, Malay Curry, and so much more. Our lead chef Chantal was so knowledgeable and really good with our kids. I would/will be going back for more cooking courses.They also were all very good at sticking to the COVID restrictions.

I did the South African cooking safari on my 2nd night on holiday in SA. They gave lots of information about the different dishes in SA and showed us how to make the key ones. Set in a fantastic location with alternative view of Table Mountain, the host Jodi was very convivial and we took a lot from it. Highly recommended.

We recently had a group cooking class for our companys 1st birthday! Brett, Emma and Brenda were fantastic and so accommodating. The class was so well organised and the food was delicious. We had so much fun learning new tricks and cooking up a storm. A very relaxed and comfortable environment - the perfect thing to do with work colleagues, friends or family. We will definitely be back!

For as long as I can remember, Ive had the biggest block on cooking.Before this course, the only thing I could make was a fried egg!Stir Crazy Cooking School gave me the confidence, skills and training to make dishes I could have never dreamed of. Chef Jody is an amazing teacher and you couldnt ask for a better location in a beautiful home kitchen. If youd like to learn how to enjoy cooking, Stir Crazy Cooking School is the place to do it!

What an awesome evening we had at the pop-up dinner last Friday night. We met such an incredible group of people, laughed too much, drank too much and ate the most incredible food, served by the most friendly people.I have previously done two courses with Brett and can highly recommend Stir Crazy. Both for courses and dinner parties. Thanks to you all.

Lionel and I thoroughly enjoyed last night’s cooking experience! Lovely space, great people and a superb teacher. The cherry on top was the unexpected sit down dinner, where we enjoyed each other’s divine culinary creations. Thank you to Brett and his lovely staff who cleaned up our mess. Highly recommended.

A huge thank you to Stir Crazys Brett and his senior chef Jody for the wonderful birthday meal cooked in my home for 24 guests. The food was delicious and the evening was great fun. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys being in their home for a celebration. Brett and Jody............ you guys are wonderful. Thank you so much for making my day so special.

I attended their All Things Chocolate Workshop almost two weeks ago. There were too many things to prepare planned for the workshop. The instructor was visibly stressed, our tarts ended up burnt and chocolates didnt work out at all. In my opinion, the latter had to do with extremely low quality of ingredients used (10% dark chocolate...). I can understand that its pricey to provide a lot of good quality chocolate for each student but then perhaps the workshop should be less ambitious in terms of the number of recipes. Id rather learn how to make one or two items well than nothing. They didnt send the participants recipes after the workshop even though the instructor assured me twice they would (that way I could at least try them out again at home). Other participants were nice and so was the instructor but it doesnt make up for the fact that it was a waste of money. I was planning to attend more courses by them but given my first experience its rather unlikely.

We had dinner at Brett and Brendas home with a Truck tour group. Their hospitality was very generous and the selection of South African dishes were delicious. Brett shared a little history about each dish and how it was prepared and Brenda supplied some well-matched South African wines. Their home was lovely and a good venue for cooking classes. They were even willing to share recipes!

Thank you for a fabulous evening of Dim Sum. I really enjoyed myself, and the food was delicious - all the more so for having made some of it myself! My xmas gift voucher is only half used up, so Stir Crazy will most definitely be seeing me again soon... looking forward to it already!

I organised a Mystery Box challenge year end function at Stir Crazy and decided this year not to tell any of my colleagues what we were doing. It was top secret and I wasnt sure how everyone would respond to the idea of cooking, but every single one of my colleagues got involved and had a blast. Absolute success and so much fun!Veronica (colleague): It’s difficult to describe how much fun this function was, the teams had the opportunity to get creative and test ourselves while thoroughly enjoying every minute. Even the people who were hesitant about this ended up just having a blast! And the hosts were as much fun as they were professional and made us feel at home at this beautiful venue with breathtaking views. I would definitely recommend Stir Crazy (I actually have been telling everyone about them LOL) and can’t wait to go back again.Rene (colleague): Stir crazy was one of my highlights for 2018. Everything was amazing , the venue was awesome, we were greeted with smiles and drinks on arrival. I learnt a lot, not only about the food we cooked, but also about how competitive my colleagues are. Making pasta from scratch was a first for me, I had no idea it was that easy.Very exciting experience, one I will treasure for always. Thank you for the wonderful experience.Thanks Stir Crazy Xxx Melissa

Great venue and chef, but not having all the recipe ingredients or enough of them marred the experience.
