Experience Nairobi like a local with this authentic Kenyan cooking experience that combines a vibrant market tour, cultural storytelling, and hands-on home cooking. We begin by meeting at a central location before heading to a lively local market to shop for fresh vegetables, spices, and ingredients while discovering everyday Kenyan life beyond the tourist trail.
After the market visit, we travel to the host’s cosy home on the outskirts of Nairobi, where the real culinary experience begins. Learn how traditional Kenyan meals are prepared from scratch as you assist in the cooking process, ask questions, and discover the rich history behind each dish. Due to kitchen space limitations, the host will guide and prepare most of the cooking, with guests actively participating where possible.
This intimate private experience offers personalised one-on-one interaction unlike large group classes. Guests will learn to prepare authentic Kenyan dishes with both Kenyan and Indian influences, including fragrant pilau, soft handmade chapati, ugali (cornmeal staple), flavourful curries, fresh kachumbari, sukuma wiki, and traditional kuku kienyeji.
Perfect for food lovers, couples, solo travellers, and anyone searching for unique things to do in Nairobi, this experience is more than a cooking class—it’s an opportunity to connect through food, culture, laughter, and warm Kenyan hospitality. Come hungry and leave with unforgettable memories, new cooking skills, and a true taste of Kenya.
