Great authentic experience with Nimoh - Really great cooking class with a very local flavor (market visit, local bus ride 🎵) Nimoh was great and a lovely host

Great glimpse of local... - Great glimpse of local life and culture . The market is a world unto itself, a short walk to the local bus and a truly wonderful guide, and chef. Worth it!!

Fabulous cultural experience - Our group totally enjoyed our time with Nimoh, from the bus ride, to shopping in the fresh food market and back to prepare and enjoy the traditional Kenyan meal. We learned how to cook mukimo and make Kachumbari salad as well as gaining a few general cooking tips and an insight into Kikuyu culture . We definitely recommend this experience and would do it again. Thank you Nimoh 😊 🙏

Vibrant way to see Kenya - This was wonderful and fun to experience cooking Kenya foods and the market. Nimoh met us then took us through the vibrant streets on a fun public bus experience of Nairobi to a food market to pick out vegetables for the meal. She explained each part of the market and helped us pick out the veggies and rice. She has a lovely home that is set up for cooking that engage my child the entire time. We loved getting to know the Kenyan culture this way and would recommend this experience to everyone to see another fun side of Kenya.

Highly recommend to experience authentic Nairobi - Nimoh was a wonderful host and provided an amazing opportunity to experience a more authentic side of life in Nairobi - we travelled on public buses with her to a market to buy the ingredients so we could cook a traditional Kenyan meal together at her apartment. A rare opportunity for a tourist made possible by such an inspiring and warm person and excellent cook! We loved our time together with Nimoh and experiencing the local community, which she clearly cares deeply about, as well as preparing, cooking and eating a delicious meal together. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic Tour, Food and Cooking Experience - Fantastic experience - would highly recommend it. The tour in the market was fascinating, the cooking and food was great with a very generous host. Plus we had a lovely group and chat was wonderful.

Great experience. Do it!!!!! - Nimoh was a great guide, hostess, and chef. Highly recommended. Worth the price. Shopping at the old, outside market was fascinating.

Really lovely experience.... - Really lovely experience. We took the Matatu which I think is an encapsulation of Kenyan’s creative and fun-loving culture, the market was so cool to see and had beautiful fruits and vegetables. Nimoh is a talented chef and wonderful to be around she’s such a joy. Discussed much about Kenyan culture and the food was the best meal I’ve had on my trip. Great for family, couples, and solo travellers

Fantastic experience living the life of a Kenyan for the day - Such an amazing experience in experiencing the market & local life of a Kenyan. It is very safe for anyone concerned, and was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

Such a sudden switch of attitude with no communication - We arrived in Kenya on August 5th. We found everybody and the hotel to be amazing and looked forward to our 5pm cooking date with Nimoh. Having seen the buses on the internet We were excited to learn about the transport system and Nimoh was the perfect guide thru the public transport jungle. We went to the market, bought produce and meat, and met the people of Kenya. We know that we would have never had these experiences if we were not accompanied by Nimoh. If the night had continued in this mode (informative, interactive and lighthearted) my rating of the excursion would have been a 10 but unfortunately that was not the case. Once we arrived at Nimoh’s apartment, she opened the front door to reveal 2 cats🐈 🐈‍⬛. They were cute playful and relatively well behaved but I immediately wondered if I had missed this bit of information when the booking was made. Since no one in the group was pregnant and I myself had been arround cats before and was not allergic I didn’t say anything. But had I known that I would be cooking in an area where cats ran free I probably would not have booked the excursion. Nimoh got through the first round of the meal prep well. Demonstating potato peeling and corn plucking techniques. I figured out very early on that I sucked at the corn plucking. We had fun laughing at each others abilities and failures while Nimoh became quiet in a corner of the kitchen prepping the meat. Nothing about the meat preparation was shared with us at this time. When I think back, this was probably the first indication of her mood change. She had left the room a couple of times: I assumed to the rest room and taken a phone call or so. When she returned we got no instructions as to what we were supposed to do next. My mom asked if we should clean the table where we had done the prep. Nimoh said yes and pointed to 2 washes rags. We scraped the cuttings into a bucket. Used one towel to wipe down the majority of the potato dirt. Cleaned with one towel and then used soap to complete the clean with the second towel. She continued to silently prep the meat. We stood arround or went back to the sofa. After a while my mom noticed the tomatoes we had bought still in the bag on the ground. She asked what we should do with them as she took them up and rested them on a corner of the newly cleaned table. Nimoh quickly responded to this and said that the tomatoes were dirty and should not have been put on the clean table. I was shocked by this because earlier we had walked in from the market and she had emptied the shopping bags in the middle of the prep table and had proceeded to demonstrate the prep in the middle of the potato dirt. It all went downhill from here. She proceeded to complete her meat prep and wash up by banging pots and pans and splashing water everywhere. After she cleaned the table again herself she demonstrated some chopping and dicing then instructed us only to participate if we could do it correctly. My brother asked her if she was a chef and where she had studied. He also inquired whether her excursion was primarily for other chefs, to which she answered,no. By this time everyone was feeling the strain of the evening and one of my sisters had resorted to reading a book she had bought in the market rather than be chastised for not cutting the tomatoes with extreme precision or bursting the grains of corn. My mother also tuned out arround this time. As Nimoh stopped responding to questions and everyone was walking on egg shells. After all we were in a strange country 1000s of miles away from home and did anyone really know where we were. We felt hostility. My Mom said that the only reason she attempted to complete the meal was so that we could get to the end of the night and leave the hostile environment. There was even a stand off moment when Nimoh wondered how long the cassava leaves had been boiling. My Mom said, 45minutes (because she had mentally recorded the time they started) Nimoh quickly said. “No. 30 minutes”. Why even ask if you know. And she was wrong. Because she had started the potatoes and the leaves at the same time. She had clearly stated that the potatoes needed to cook for 30 minutes and to my Moms timing had turned off the potatoes after 35 minutes. It was now 10minutes later, therefore the cassava leafs had been cooking for 45minutes. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this excursion to anyone. Even though the initial experience was great: Buses & Market, and the food was amazing, the hostess was not consistent. Yes , we got what we paid for and so much more: catnip, ridicule and bad attitude.
