About Food Jams
Connecting People Through Food
Food Jams began one night in a Cape Town kitchen, a spontaneous gathering of friends, food, and music. That evening sparked an idea - what if cooking together could be more than just a meal? What if it became a way to connect with others, learn something new, and create something memorable?
Years later, Food Jams has become a unique interactive cooking experience that brings people together through hands-on cooking events that blend creativity, culture, and community.
From team-building sessions to milestone celebrations, we’ve hosted thousands of guests across South Africa, and no two Jams are ever the same.
What We Stand For
Connect
We create spaces where people can meet, engage, and bond through the shared language of food, celebrating community, culture, and sustainability.
Educate
Every Food Jam is an opportunity to learn - about ingredients, techniques, cultures, and each other. A kitchen newbie or a seasoned foodie, there is something for everyone!
Entertain
From dishes to memories, we encourage playful creativity in the kitchen and beyond.
What We Do
Connect
We host interactive cooking events around chopping boards and stovetops. Whether you're bonding with a new team, celebrating a milestone, or making memories with friends, our group cooking events blend culture and community, turning strangers into teammates - and teammates into friends.
Educate
Our sessions are filled with flavour and know-how. You’ll pick up culinary tips from our pro hosts, explore ingredients you’ve never used before, and walk away with new kitchen confidence and a deeper appreciation of sustainable choices.
Entertain
From first slice to final plating, you’ll be cooking the entire meal yourself, guided, supported, and surprised at what you can do. And when the clock stops, you’ll sit down to share a harvest table you helped make, filled with dishes you never thought you could create.
