Here at Tantalise My Taste Buds we believe that the best way to learn about a people and a culture is through their food and food customs.
We are here to help enthusiastic home cooks explore their creativity and potential by cooking food from scratch made with real seasonal ingredients.
We share recipes made with real food, provide free travel guides for ethical and responsible travelers and encourage mindful living.
We believe that every traveler has a responsibility to the environment and people that we encounter, to either leave them unscathed by our presence or to somehow add value.
Our free travel guides include advice for intrepid travelers on where to go, where to stay and what to do at various destinations that our team has actually visited or lived in. We provide tips for travel planning as well as options for different budgets.

Be adventurous and take a food tour when visiting a city for the first time. It is a wonderful way to learn about the culture, history and customs of the local residents. Registered tour guides provide insight into the lives of residents and you will learn as much about the city and the people as about their food.

Although sightseeing tours include hours sitting in a vehicle traveling between multiple stops, they are a quick and efficient way to enjoy many of a city’s top cultural, historical or scenic attractions.

WELLNESS
Our daily lives are a fine balancing act between our obligations to our families, our employers and to ourselves. Happiness and contentment are more likely when we feed our bodies, minds and souls with all that is good, non-toxic and uplifting.
CAPE MALAY CULTURE AND HERITAGE
The Cape Malay people include descendants of slaves from the 17th century Dutch colonies and outposts in South East Asia. They overcame oppression and marginalisation by successive governments yet retain their customs and culture.
