Description

Enjoy a private and authentic cooking demonstration and homecooked meal with your host Grace. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Grace learned to cook from her mother and grandmother when she was a young girl. Her love for cooking grew when she got married and learned additional cooking skills from her late husband who was a great cook. Grace lives with her daughter in the outskirts of Nairobi city and currently works for an NGO that offers business training to women. Sharing cultures and making people feel at home when they are away from their home is what she most enjoys about hosting travelers. Apart from cooking Grace also loves to read and swim. Get a glimpse into a typical Kenyan household and experience the Kenyan lifestyle and cuisine during this private, authentic food experience.

A delicious, fun experience!

My 8-year old and I had a fantastic time learning from Grace. We loved visiting the market and felt so lucky to be welcomed into her home. She was such a patient teacher and the food was delicious! This is a great home experience and we learned some tasty new recipes. We'd definitely recommend.

Pilau cooking experience

The market tour and cooking experience was great. It was lovely to share some time with Grace and Eric, a fellow solo traveler. We cooked Pilau and it turned out delicious! Definitely would re book this experience!
