Description

Begin your experience at a local market, where you’ll meet your host and explore the variety of fresh ingredients used in Tanzanian cooking. As you walk through the market, you’ll discover local vegetables, fruits, spices, grains, and other ingredients. Learn about the ingredients and help select what you’ll use to prepare your meal.

After the market visit, continue to a welcoming local home in the Arusha area, set within an organic farming environment. Here, get a glimpse into everyday local life and, depending on the season, see some of the ingredients growing around the home.

With guidance from your local host, learn how Tanzanian home-style dishes are prepared using the ingredients you selected. Chop, mix, season, and cook while learning traditional techniques and hearing stories about the food and its place in local culture.

Once the cooking is finished, sit down and enjoy the meal you helped prepare. Take your time to taste the flavors, relax, and share conversation with your host. In Tanzania, sharing food is an important part of hospitality, so this is more than simply eating a meal, it’s an opportunity to connect with local people and experience a little of everyday Tanzanian life.
