5.00My husband and I wanted to have a very authentic experience while visiting Nairobi. What better way than to opt for a cooking class with Wairimu. She was very kind and sweet as she showed us around at the local market, educated us on the produce and foods, and facilitated us as we created the most delicious Kenyan traditional meal Mukimo with a nice avocado pico de gallo. Our hearts (and belly’s) were so full from the experience! Can’t wait to come back and experience this again. It’s a must!
Get beyond the tourist stuff!

5.00Nimoh is absolutely amazing! She showed us so much of Kenyan life here in Nairobi. The market was super cool to see all of the produce and meats available. She took her time to explain what to look for to get the best taste and explained the many street food options available. The local bus was a wild ride and certainly is the definition of organized chaos! Don’t miss this opportunity! The meal itself was delicious and super fun to make. I have no culinary skills and she made it fun! This is an amazing experience that is a must do!
Great host and an amazing cook!

5.00Nimoh was a great host! She guided us through the market and explained the different foods/spices as well as tips for picking the right produce. The matatu was an adventure for sure! It being our first day in Nairobi, we truly got to experience the local life and culture. The food was absolutely delicious and we loved the cozy and intimate feel at her place. She even sent us the recipes afterward and gave us some tips on where to eat and shop for the remainder of our visit. It was a great way to kick off our Nairobi adventure!
