A couple of weeks ago we had a cooking day as part of our language school. The day before we learned kitchen related vocabulary and then we learned to make about 14 Tanzanian dishes! There is lots of prep work involved.
We used coconut for lots of dishes. Here I am trying to bust one.
They use a little bench called a mbusi(which actually means goat) to grate the coconut. The metal grating part sticks out the side. It's very effective.

The Groen girls even got in on the cooking. Here's Hailey grating some coconut.
Here's a view of many things going on in the kitchen.

These little sweets were our snack with chai that day. They are made of a dough that has coconut in it, then deep fried, and coated in sugar. Yum!
Everything we made (and all the food we are served at camp) is cooked on coals.
