What you can expect

  • Discover the rich flavours and vibrant culinary traditions of Kenya in this hands-on cooking experience. Join a local host for an immersive journey into authentic Kenyan cuisine, where food is more than just a meal—it’s culture, community, and celebration.

    Begin with an introduction to Kenyan culinary traditions and the cultural significance behind each dish. Learn about staple ingredients commonly used across regions—from fresh vegetables and maize flour to aromatic spices and locally sourced meats. In some sessions, you may even visit a nearby local market to explore fresh produce and understand how Kenyans shop for their daily meals.

    Under step-by-step guidance, chop, stir, knead, and cook using traditional techniques and modern kitchen tools. Along the way, your host will share stories about Kenyan food culture, family traditions, and how dishes vary across communities, from the highlands near Nairobi to rural villages.

    Once the cooking is complete, sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you’ve prepared together. This is the perfect opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and connect over food in true Kenyan style.

    Whether you’re a food lover, cultural explorer, or simply curious about East African cuisine, this class offers a warm, welcoming, and unforgettable taste of Kenya.
