Traditional Tanzanian Cooking Class With A Local Family In Moshi
What your day looks like
Host Bio: The very first time Marissa visited her husband William’s modest hut, she fell in love with the beautiful and delicious meal prepared by Shida (her mother in law). Shida’s wonderful cooking, care, and hospitality was something Marissa could never forget. So when William and she decided to move back to Tanzania (from the US), she wanted travelers to experience what she did when she first visited. Marissa describes her mother in law, Shida as an incredible woman, with an ear to ear smile, who simply loves to cook and share food with others. Marissa wants everyone visiting Moshi to be able to experience what she does being American – being part of a beautiful Tanzanian family, understanding how the food is sourced and cooked and sharing a home-cooked meal together! Shida is excited to share more about her beautiful culture, introduce you to the extended family (grandma, daughter, cousins, etc.) and feed you in her simple home, as her own! Marissa hosts with her husband William and his family. On days that Marissa is not available, her husband William will be your host.
