With the guidance of the Mama's you will learn how to make local dishes and discover the unique flavors of Tanzanian cooking whilst learning about the extraordinary work that Lifted Strong do for women in their community. As part of this class you will help to prepare the produce using traditional techniques and also learn their Swahili names from the Mama's. Then you will be taught how to make up each dish and cook it in the outdoor kitchen here at Lifted Strong. Whilst waiting for the food to cook, learn about the lives of the Mama's as well as how Lifted Strong has helped them start their own businesses. Also be prepared to join in with a song and dance as the Mama's love to boogie! We can cater for vegetarians and vegans but please let us know in advance of the class. We don't provide drinks so please bring your own beverages to enjoy with your food. Our weekly Thursday class starts at 2:30pm, and let us know if you would like to be met on the road.
