Itinerary
The cooking lesson is a sensory experience that connects you with Zanzibar’s heart through its most cherished tradition, the art of preparing and sharing food. Leave with not just knowledge but a deeper appreciation for the island's way of life and the stories behind each dish that make Zanzibari cuisine so special.
Join skilled local chefs who guide you step-by-step by preparing traditional Zanzibari dishes. Begin by grinding your spices, infusing them with your touch, and incorporating them into iconic recipes, such as pilau rice, a fragrant and flavorful dish, and coconut curries, bursting with rich, creamy flavors. Learn the techniques behind perfectly balanced seasoning and the secrets of marinating and simmering to extract the best flavor.
Cooking in Zanzibar is not just about food; it is a celebration of the community. Feel the warmth of Zanzibari hospitality as you share stories and laughter around the preparation table, connecting with local chefs who bring the island’s history and flavors to life. Engage in age-old traditions passed down through families and gained unique insight into how food weaves its way into celebrations, gatherings, and daily life.
After preparing your feast, sit down, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Taste the unique flavors that are distinct from Zanzibar—the combination of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and coconut that makes every bite a celebration of the island’s heritage. The experience does not just end at the meal; you will leave with newfound skills and recipes that let you recreate these dishes at home, sharing the magic of Zanzibar with friends and family.
