Cooking class experience — learning Boerewors properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Boerewors correctly. The instructor explained why chakalaka relish is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The robust and satisfying result when you make it yourself is different.

the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. We learned how a shebeen township tavern shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of Pinotage wine. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
