Today we will leave the hotel to explore Senegalese cuisine Senegalese cuisine is known in West Africa as one of the finest and most beloved culinary arts.

This outing aims to make you taste some of the national dishes of Senegal as the most popular:

Tiebou Djenn: ”(rice, fish and steamed vegetables as tapiocca, cabbage, carote...)

Mafé (sauce made with grilled peanut feet, with fish or meat to then be served over steamed rice, and also some steamed vegetables added)

Yassa (marinated fish or chicken with lemon, grilled over charcoal and cooked with onions, herbs and spices to then be served over steamed rice).

Meeting with family, or in a center around a cooking workshop

A great way to come into the privacy of a Senegalese family and participate in this cooking experience

You will participate throughout the cooking process. Starting with the market, the grocer or the shop, a daily meeting place between sellers and buyers. The purchase of the condiments necessary for the preparation of the meal will be an opportunity to discover many local products and spices.

Return home or to the workshop for an introductory course in Senegalese gastronomy. You will test your cooking skills while discussing each other's daily life. After hours of cooking, we will enjoy setting up the prepared meals together, and you will be invited to receive your certificate from the chief.

The meal will take place with the family before ending with a tasting of a traditional tea. Commonly known as mint tea, or Ataya in the local dialects, this hot drink is widely consumed after each meal. It serves as a digestive and remains the best shared drink in Senegal
