Visit a small market with your host to discover locally grown produce. Learn about the ingredients used in Tanzanian cuisine before taking a tuk tuk 20 min to your host's home. Marissa, her husband William and his mother Shida are a warm and welcoming family who host you in their simple, modest mud house for a cultural and culinary experience. You will help Shida grate coconuts to make fresh coconut milk and prepare ugali, a traditional corn meal dish. Enjoy your meal sitting on benches outdoors with the entire family. Ugali is eaten communal style, with each person picking cake with their hand, rolling it into a ball, and using it to scoop vegetables or stew. A few other dishes you may try are uji (a millet and peanut porridge), beef and green banana stew) and rice with spiced beans. Dishes are cooked in coconut milk and simmered over a wood fire, giving it a distinct and delicious flavor! End your experience by sharing peanut brittle and Shida’s local brew with friends and family.

    Highly recommend this experience! We had so much fun at the market and learning how to cook traditional food with William, his mother and her friends. We were made to feel part of the family. And the food was excellent! I’m planning to do the millet tamarind porridge myself. William was warm and friendly and we had great chats about the food, Moshi and general life with him.

    I wanted to experience Tanzanian culture and this was the perfect way to start off. Mama Shida's son William picked me up at my Hotel and gave me a private tour of the local market. We picked up local ingredients, talked with vendors, and I tried dried sardines and other fruits and vegetables. . When we arrived at Mama Shida's home, I was immediately welcomed and made part of the family and community . I was amazed as the the amount of work cooking traditional foods over fires/charcoal. I was taught to make coconut milk, and helped with beef curry, banana stew, ugali, and tried banana beer ( I don't like beer, but did enjoy banana beer). We ate a feast. I was sad to see the experience come to an end. I will hold happy memories of this experience for a lifetime. I would highly recommend this tour and would love to return with my daughters in the future.

    Had such fun cooking with Williams mother and her friend! The market tour was nice and informative, we have looked, sniffed and tried new foods, all of which were amazing. We cooked with fresh produce and on a traditional wood fire, making the food delicious. The banana stew, beef stew and ugali were so tasty and nice. Looking forward to replicate at home!
