Travel Closer Tanzania - Tour Operator with a Difference

East African cuisine is simple yet flavourful. It is influenced by both its poor population’s need for inexpensive, filling foods (maize, beans, rice, green vegetables and at times, goat) as much as by Indian cuisine. This is evident in the popularity of chapatti, samosas, tea masala and the various spices available.

We have a number of friendly and qualified cooks who take time out of their professions as chefs to provide Travel Closer clients with short cooking courses.

Makande

The cuisine you will learn about is typical to Eastern Africa, not just Tanzania, and will include home favourites with a few twists and turns. The courses are not only about the practical act of cooking but learning about the ingredients too. What is ugali and how is it best eaten? What is the difference between Sukuma Wiki and Kale? And between Chapatti and the Indian Naan?

Courses on average will last 4 hours and of course, rates include the meal!
