Homemade Swahili Cuisine - Private Cooking Class

On this cultural experience, you'll discover the one of a kind Swahili cuisine, which incorporates a variety of Zanzibar spices. Swahili gastronomy is a perfect blend of tradition & innovation, and it's sure to please even the most discerning palate. As someone who's been cooking these meals for over 20 years, I'll teach you how to prepare one or two of my favourite Swahili dishes, which you could then cook back home: •Boiled taro roots or banana mixed with coconut milk, spices, onions & tomatoes. •Pilaf (washed rice mixed with onion, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, beef or chicken previously cooked in oil). •Boiled pumpkin chopped in small pieces mixed with coconut milk, cardamom, sugar, cinnamon. •Washed rice cooked with coconut milk mixed with beans. You'll also get to interact with the locals at the outdoor food market where we'll get the fresh ingredients for our meals. But of course, the highlight of this tour is to seat together around my table enjoying what we cooked.
