From the Market to Your Plate
The experience begins with a visit to a local market, where you’ll discover the fresh ingredients and flavors that make Zanzibari cuisine so special.
Walk through the market with Ibrahim, meet local vendors, explore seasonal fruits, vegetables, spices, and other ingredients, and choose what you’ll use for your meal.
After the market visit, head to the kitchen and start cooking with Ibrahim. You’ll learn how to prepare traditional dishes step by step from preparing the ingredients to cooking and finally enjoying the meal together.
This is a hands-on experience, so you won’t just watch. You’ll chop, mix, cook, taste, and learn along the way.
More than a cooking class, it’s a personal way to discover local food, traditions, and everyday life through the flavors of Zanzibar.
