The primary South African Heritage Cooking Class in Kempton Park is hosted by Food Jams at their Feastivity venue in Emperors Palace. This hands-on experience celebrates the country's diverse culinary history, including Cape Malay, Indian, and Afrikaner influences.
If the specific Heritage Class dates do not suit you, Kempton Park and surrounding areas offer other professional and social cooking venues:
ChefMLK School of Cooking (Kempton Park): Located at 44 Rietfontein Rd, Glen Marais. They primarily offer professional diploma courses but also host occasional amateur workshops like "Pies and Tarts".
The Culinary Loft (Benoni): A highly-rated nearby option (Corner of Davidson & Malcolm St) offering bespoke, homely cooking classes led by professional chefs.
JHB Cooked By Fire (Centurion): For a more rustic experience, this event on 21 March 2026 at Naledi Farm focuses on traditional fire-cooking techniques and vegetable picking.
Are you looking to book for a large group or corporate team building, or is this for an individual booking?
