This is the perfect opportunity to get hands on and learn all about the cooking processes of some of the local Tanzanian food.
​
The cooking class is a great experience for everyone. It is a hands on cooking class and you will be engaged in the whole process.
You will have the opportunity to go to the farm to source your fresh ingredients, prepare and cook dishes with a step by step recipe and finally you will learn how to serve these traditional dishes. The Tanzania meal is mostly based on cassava, cornmeal (maize), millet beans, potatoes, rice, banana, elephant ear plant and vegetables.

The most common dish in Tanzania is ugali which is made with cassava flour, maize flour, and millet or sorghum flour. Usually Ugali is served with meat stew, fish stew, vegetables or some beans.
