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.

    We went in October and had a very enjoyable time with the tour guide. Now we have returned to Zambia and asked about Petros Company if they have additional trips or cooking courses with Albright. We had a lot of fun and learned how to cook Zambian dishes.
