Learn the art of coastal Swahili cuisine from a celebrated local chef in a stunning private kitchen, mastering dishes perfumed with coconut, tamarind, and fresh seafood. A deeply personal culinary story told through fire, spice, and shared plates.
What to expect
Begin at the old town morning market with your chef, selecting the freshest fish, coconut, and spices before heading to the kitchen. Over three hours, you'll prepare a full Swahili feast — pilau rice, coconut fish curry, and tamarind prawns — guided step by step. Sit down to eat your creations at a beautifully set courtyard table, with local hibiscus juice and fresh-baked chapati. Leave with a handwritten recipe card and the confidence to recreate it at home.
