Welcome to the capital city of the Limpopo province, Polokwane.

Polokwane is situated North of Gauteng and while you may think that there is barely anything to do in the city, you are seriously wrong. In Polokwane, you can eat to your heart's content at some of the most delicious restaurants and it is also the place where you can expand your culinary skills and learn to chop, julienne, chiffonade, and even learn to dice like a pro. You can surely catch whiffs of tantalizingly succulent meat being prepared in the houses when you walk on the streets of Polokwane. If that smell doesn’t have you salivating, perhaps a visit to Polokwane’s coffee shop called Ambiance will. Word of mouth has it that Ambiance is a very nice restaurant that gives off a home-away-from-home feel. When you visit the restaurant you are reminded that having an open mind and a free spirit is wonderful. The coffee shop welcomes a diversity of guests all willing to try the business-type breakfasts and the high-quality light lunches. Get lost in Ambiance's garden while treating your tummy to a delicious quiche, open sandwich, or chicken liver breakfast. Having said that a visit to Ambiance will leave you with an open mind. Be as open-minded as possible about brushing up on your culinary skills especially when there is a need for more restaurants with an exciting twist in the area.

Limpopo Chef’s Academy

If you’re looking to invest some time now so that you can become a chef one day, Limpopo has become the place to do just that. Being a tourist destination filled with spectacular wildlife and some of the best guest lodges, renowned chef Tom Hurter took the plunge and decided to open the Chef’s Academy in Mokopane in Polokwane. Chef Tom Hurter's experience speaks for itself about how many opportunities await young chefs. The chef himself studied at the famous Capital Hotel School before making the move to Canada to pursue his chef's dream. He thereafter returned to South Africa and opened The Fly Lounge in Pretoria East. He was then sourced to become a lecturer at the Waterberg FET College.

It was here that he realized that he had a strong love for teaching and for cooking culinary cuisine. The thing that sets Limpopo's Chef's Academy apart is that it also focuses on providing different courses as well including courses in Wines and Viticulture.  You can choose to do a yearlong Cookery and Food Preparation Course, a patisserie qualification, and even a Chef Grande qualification. The school is open to applications from local as well as international cooking enthusiasts. While you may not be spoilt for choice in terms of cooking schools that you can attend in Polokwane, you will be spoilt for choice in terms of hotels to work at after you receive your chef qualification. The Chef's Academy cooking school receives support from hotel groups and hospitality service providers. You can rest assured that you will already be welcomed into the hospitality industry after having qualified from the cooking school. You must remember that there are tons of job possibilities for culinary school graduates. You can choose to be a restaurant manager, head chef, or even work as a chef on a cruise liner ship. While attending the Chef's Academy will be a great honour, you may not have yet thought about securing a future as a chef. Perhaps you are just looking to learn how to cook well for yourself or even to entertain a guest or two. Basic cooking lessons are accessible to all, however, like with all cooking classes you are expected to put in the necessary time and effort. So what would you like to learn about how to cook first? Perhaps you want to take it back to your Indian roots and make a deliciously creamy butter chicken and masala paneer or you want to try out international cuisine and make a Mexican fiesta. For either option, private cooking classes will work for you.

Private Cooking Classes in Polokwane

The key rule to being a great cook is simply to let your creativity run wild. Measuring ingredients and following recipes are well and good too but if you are looking to wow a crowd, you must be willing to be experimental in the kitchen.

So how can you start taking cooking lessons? Well, Superprof private tutors are willing to accommodate your needs. You could ask a Superprof tutor if he or she will be willing to allow you to book a private class for a group of 6-10 people. Perhaps the thought of trying out a curry recipe alone scares you and you would like to rope in your friends. Maybe you even want to take on cooking lessons as a teambuilding exercise for the people at your company who always seem to be at loggerheads with each other. With Superprof tutors providing private lessons, you have the option of taking cooking classes at all levels and at times which are most suitable for you.

Once you find the right Superprof tutor for you, you can choose what sort of cooking classes you would like to try out. Perhaps an Italian fine dining course, bread or roti making course, or even a course that will teach you how to cook to replicate your favourite street food. Imagine tasting your crumbed drumstick and being reminded of the drumsticks that you would munch on at KFC.
