Dakar: Senegalese Cooking Class and Homestay immersion｜Senegal

Immerse yourself in the heart of Keur Massar, a vibrant neighborhood in the suburbs of Dakar, and enjoy a full day with a local host. Begin your day with a visit to the local market to select fresh ingredients, such as fish or chicken, colorful vegetables, local spices, and typical ingredients of Senegalese cuisine.

Discover the secrets of local products, interact with vendors, and learn the basics of Senegalese gastronomy. Then, return to your host's home and start cooking.

Learn to prepare an iconic dish, such as thiéboudienne, thiebou yapp, yassa, or mafé, in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Your host will guide you step by step. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared together, served in the traditional way.

Sometimes, the experience continues with a lively activity organized with the neighborhood’s youth: music, dance, and a festive atmosphere to discover the local energy and creativity.
