Was really great and enjoyed it from start to finish. I was pretty clumsy but the teacher was really patient with me and of course the food was splendid.

I recently attended a Zambian cooking class at Clare's Destinations, and it was fantastic! The session was insightful, and we learned to prepare delicious dishes like Nshima, Chikanda, and Ifisashi. The cooking instructor was humble, knowledgeable, and incredibly nice, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Excellent cooking class!

It was a fully immersive experience. Clare taught us how to cook a famous Zambian staple Nshima (a maize meal porridge) accompanied with a wide assortment of vegetables like rape, okra and fisashi and a delicious steak.As first timers, cooking the nshima was a bit difficult but still a fun experience! I recommend this tour all foodies like Stacey and I.
The cooking was great, we...

The cooking was great, we cooked nshima and two side dishes (okra and ifisashi). Clare also bought other local dishes, so I could try even more food:) It was a nice afternoon spent with Clare and her friend.
