The variety of produce that goes into preparing a typical Ugandan meal is representative of the melting pot of cultures that make up Uganda. A typical plate of local food usually consists of various staple foods that are sourced from various parts of the country, giving you a chance to travel the country with your tongue, without necessarily having to leave the capital city! Experience a culinary adventure with a cooking class organized by Namuwongo Community Library, that includes sourcing for ingredients at a local produce market, learning the methods and challenges of lighting a Sigiri (a traditional charcoal stove) and the recipes to make the national favorite dish, Matooke (mashed green plantain), among other popular dishes. This is a great way to taste the flavor of each tribe that contribute to the local dishes of Uganda, and a fun interactive way to learn about the cultures they originate from..
