Step into the heart of Nairobi and uncover a culinary world rarely glimpsed by visitors.

Here, you’ll handpick the freshest ingredients, learning the stories behind the produce and the traditions that shape local cuisine.
Your journey continues in the home of a charismatic young Kenyan host, whose warmth and passion for cooking transform this intimate space into a living classroom. Together, you will craft a three-course Kenyan meal, guided through age-old recipes, cooking techniques, and the subtle secrets passed down through generations.
As the aromas fill the home, you will sit to share your creation, experiencing Kenyan hospitality in its most genuine form. Each bite is more than a taste—it is a connection to a culture, a story, and a community.
