Overview
Forget tourist cooking classes! This is the real deal — a genuine
Zambian township experience like no other in Lusaka.
Your adventure starts at New Soweto Market —one of Zambia's most
vibrant traditional markets. Walk the bustling stalls with host
Elizabeth, interact with local vendors, discover exotic ingredients
like kapenta fish & chibwabwa leaves, and hand-pick everything
you will cook.
Then jump in a car for a 20-minute drive into a real Lusaka township.
At Elizabeth's home, surrounded by a garden and mango trees, cook
your chosen dish over your own charcoal brazier.
Choose from 4 traditional Zambian recipes: Chicken Stew, Crispy Kapenta,
Beef or Goat with Chibwabwa, or Grilled Bream — all served with
nshima. Elizabeth guides you through techniques, recipes and the
cultural stories behind each dish.
End sitting together on traditional mats under the mango trees,
sharing the food you cooked as a group. This is Ubuntu. This is real
Zambian hospitality.
