Itinerary:

Get acquainted with the unique flavours and ingredients of West African cuisine on this Kumasi culinary adventure. Start by meeting an informative local guide then set off on a market visit for some bargaining amongst the colourful produce. While at the market, take time to learn a little about bartering and the various uses of spices and other key ingredients. With markets playing an integral part in modern African life take the time to take photos, wander the market aisles and discover what's on offer. After the market visit, meet up with an experienced local home cook to learn how to prepare a delicious, traditional Ghanaian feast. With a variety of tribes all coexisting within the country, there are many different influences present in the cuisine of Ghana. Learn how to cook one of the staples of Ghanaian food known as 'wakye'. This simple yet filling meal of beans and rice, flavoured with spices is considered a local delicacy and is a hit with vegetarians. Also on the menu is 'koose' a snack made from fried beans - a popular street food favourite with locals and travelers alike. Be sure to taste your culinary creations before being dropped back at the central point in Kumasi with a full stomach and a range of new cooking skills ready to use in your own kitchen back home.

Tipping:

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour.
