We had a stop at the Yabouy Home Cooking school. It was inland in some farm country. The idea was that we were supposed to help prepare an African meal and then eat it for lunch. We did that but there was actually very little preparation work to be done. The staff really did most of the work but we did eat it for lunch. The cooking school was in a fenced area and had fruit trees, some vegetables, and other things, plus some nice buildings with thatched roofs.

The food preparation and cooking were simple and no big preparation or cooking areas or ovens, etc. You can see some of the work below. I think Vicky was supervising.

They also had us dress up in African clothing as part of the experience. Vicky looked pretty good while she helped with the vegetable preparation.

Ida Cham Njai is the owner and operator of the cooking school. I got a photo of her and Vicky below. She reminded me of my own Aunt Ida.

I thought the women looked better than the men in African clothing. I found the fabric to be very heavy and very hot.
