A Taste of Zanzibar: Why Cooking Matters

The Importance of Local Markets

Before diving into the cooking, we’ll take a trip to the local market. This vibrant hub is the heart of Zanzibar, where the sights, sounds, and smells weave a tapestry of life. Here, you’ll see how locals procure their ingredients, from fresh vegetables and tropical fruits to aromatic spices that make Zanzibari dishes so memorable. Exploring the market is not just shopping; it’s an experience that connects you to the spirit of Zanzibar.
