The highlight of all the adventures in Pemba was cooking with the local people. We were able to start at the very beginning of the process by harvesting some ingredients to being able to watch and sometimes help prepare and create dishes. Watching each member of the community come together to prepare their food specialty was fascinating and I was honored to be part of such an elaborate process.
In the photo, one of our group members, Shelsea, helps add ingredients for the local to pound.
Thank you,
