Duration: 02:00 hours


Description

Join our hands-on culinary experience in Kigali and learn to cook delicious local Rwandan dishes like ugali, fried plantains, beans, vegetable stew, and more.
Step into the heart of Rwanda through food! This isn’t just a cooking class, it’s an authentic journey where you’ll cook the Rwandan way, share stories, and enjoy a meal you prepared yourself.

We start with a warm welcome in Kigali, where you’ll learn about the role of food in Rwandan culture. Then, roll up your sleeves: you’ll cook using a traditional charcoal stove just like locals do, and also experience how modern homes use gas. The combination gives you the best of both worlds, cultural immersion and comfort.

Along the way, discover the secrets of dishes like Ugali, Isombe ( cassava leaves), Ibishyimbo (beans),, and fresh vegetables.

Finally, sit down together to share the delicious Rwandan meal you’ve created, just like family.
