    Fun morning with Gertrude and her son. I helped prepare the ingredients. Gertrude explained how to cook the vegetables. The G-Nut Sauce was the best!!! Some of the best local cuisine I have tasted. A big plus- the view from their place is amazing. Photo op while the food is cooking. If you have a couple of hours to spare, I highly recommend

    We recently took part in Munira's cooking class in Kampala and it was an amazing experience! Getting there was a convenient and easy – we met up at the Kasubi Tombs and after a short walk, we arrived at Munira's cozy home. The class was super hands-on. We got right into peeling, chopping, and learning the local cooking methods, like how to steam food in banana leaves. Munira was great at making everything fun and easy to understand. The best part? The food we made! We cooked up a feast with Gnut sauce, Matooke, greens, Pumpkin, Cassava, sweet potato, and even had some yummy passionfruit juice. It all tasted incredible. Throughout the class, we had loads of laughs and interesting chats with Munira. For anyone in Kampala, we highly recommend this class. It's a perfect mix of fun, learning, and delicious food. Can't wait to try these recipes at home!! ---

    We have had a great cooking class. It was really hard to cut the vegetables at the way they do it in Uganda. The food was very nice and the view over Kampala marvelous.
