Beyond Worth the Experience
If you want a true cultural experience, I can not recommend this experience enough!!! We cooked in their kitchen. It was delicious! They send me home with some much food! There was enough English and pantomiming to make it easy to communicate. As a solo female traveller I felt safe at all times. They provided me with lighter dress cover because it got hot in the kitchen. Be sure to reinforce how much you enjoy it with a little extra $$.
They walked me though how to make everything, bing a pad and pen to take notes so you can cook at home!
Enjoy! Please!! Enjoy!
