This winter, Traveller’s Rest is hosting a series of tailor-made culinary retreats. A weekend stay with all meals, a day of interactive practical cooking, recipes and a personalised apron costs R 2 450 per person.

The weekend would begin on a Friday afternoon where guests will be checked into their double en-suite rooms and can relax in the garden or explore the village at leisure. Drinks will be served in the lovely old colonial bar at 6pm followed by a delicious three course evening meal in the restaurant with your fellow foodies!

Following breakfast on Saturday morning guests will meet in the kitchen receive an apron and recipe folder. The cooking day begins with the art of bread making, followed by some delicious starters and easy entertaining ideas. After lunch, we will focus on the preparation of meat and fish dishes with a tutorial on fine sauces and vegetable preparations followed by dessert and hot soufflé making.

The full day’s cooking is designed to culminate in a three course menu that will be enjoyed that night in the restaurant. Guests will learn some “tricks of the trade” to ensure easy home entertaining and how to balance a menu for your future dinner parties!

After dinner, guests are free to enjoy a night cap in the lounge or bar before heading off to bed!

The next morning breakfast is served and guests are free to check out by 11.00am. If they wish they can stay on for Sunday lunch where a traditional Sunday roast is served and the restaurant is open to the public.

The package includes two night’s accommodation in a double room, two breakfasts, one lunch and two dinners with an apron and a folder with recipes and notes and a day of cooking demonstrations and hands on cooking. Wines & alcoholic beverages are extra.
