Hi! I’m Sophia Lindop and I’m really glad you’re here.
The love of food has shaped my life.
With a Lebanese family on my father’s side, I grew up on a farm in the Northern Cape. Food always drew the family together and cooking for people became my love language early in life. Connect with me for our Weekly Catch-up
I’d love to have you on this journey with me to the places and people who have captivated my heart, inspired my tastebuds, and stimulated my creativity. Let’s keep learning together.
Cookery Classes
Spend an easy, carefree morning cooking with me. Whatever your skill level, we’ll explore and learn together in courses designed to suit you, followed by a leisurely lunch paired with exceptional wines. Trundle home with your recipes and a little gift from my pantry.
Sophia’s Cookbooks
I’m a storyteller at heart, so my cookbooks are more than just page after page of recipes. They are a journey, in words and pictures, through the food and places and people that I love. I tell stories of the food I love – simple, wholesome and nostalgic, yet contemporary – in my collection of eight cookbooks, and there are more on the way.
Kitchen Essentials
Because I spend so much time in the kitchen, I’m mad about functional kitchen accessories but it’s often difficult to find beautiful stuff that actually works. Practical as ever, I went to source and put together a collection to share with you. My range ships anywhere in South Africa. Visit my online shop.
Tasty feedback
A day cooking with Sophia is an experience and an indulgence – don’t miss it! Been there, done that, more than once and will do it again.
We went to Lebanon and back, without our passports!
My friend Liz and I had the most incredible weekend in Montagu, learning to cook with the lovely Sophia. Sophia and Paddy are such gracious hosts and do everything they can to make the weekend magical and special. Liz and I felt recharged and replenished and we would highly recommend a weekend in Montagu cooking with Sophia. We can’t wait to do this again!
