I am Asnka and I am from the Amhara region of Ethiopia , but I love cooking dishes from all over the country, so prepare to be served pan-Ethiopian cuisine.
I first learned to cook by helping my mother at home as a child and later studied at Lalibela Vocational College. Now, I run my own kitchen after marrying my husband Kanu, who has a bachelor's degree in economics and is a tourism professional - he has been leading tours in Ethiopia for over a decade!
Your cooking class will take place in my family kitchen, in the center of Kedemt village , in the town of Lalibela . Only a 2-minute walk from the churches of Lalibela.
During your 1.5 to 2-hour class, I will show you how to prepare a traditional Ethiopian dish as well as how to pour and cook the perfect injera, a traditional fermented bread that Ethiopians use as an edible plate with other dishes served on top.
You'll likely learn how to make shiro (chickpea or bean stew) or tibs (meat sautéed with vegetables and spices) in addition to injera. You'll also learn how to roast coffee beans.
Highlight of the activity
We have no doubt that this is a unique opportunity to learn from the local population and for tourists to discover authentic Ethiopia with its traditions and cuisine. Plus, you will leave with a full stomach and new memories to share with your loved ones back home!
