Class description
Once a week, I would like to “invite” you to dive deep into traditional Congolese cuisine with me as part of a cooking class. Let's start with my favorite food: Fumbwa, also known as oko or eru, is a leafy vegetable with a very high protein content and similar in taste to spinach.
It grows in Central Africa, where it is also mainly eaten. Combined with peanut butter, palm oil and baked fish, it is a treat.
There is also makemba (plantains), kwanga (cassava bread), mikate and much more...
Let's enjoy Congolese cuisine together.
