As February unfolds, we continue to celebrate Black History Month: our culture, our history, our FOOD! Picture this: soft candlelight, the faint aroma of exotic spices, and the warmth of a shared meal prepared with love.

At Chakula Tamu, we believe that the way to the heart is through the stomach. That's why we've curated a guide to help you create a memorable evening without ever having to leave the comfort of your home. Get ready for an evening of a taste of home, celebrating culture and food.

Setting the Scene:

First things first, ambiance is key. Create a cozy atmosphere with soft blankets and plush pillows. Whether you're dining at the dining table or snuggled up on the couch, make sure the setting feels intimate and inviting.

Sip & Savor:

Start the evening off right with a tantalizing beverage to whet your appetite. Whether it’s a cold Mirinda Fruity or you boil some Kisubi tea, choose your favorite and let the evening begin. At Chakula Tamu, we offer a selection of beverages perfect for toasting to love and romance.

The Menu:

Now, onto the main event – the food! Allow us to tempt your taste buds with a menu inspired by the vibrant flavors of Uganda. Begin with an appetizer of Chapati Rolls filled with savory minced meat or vegetables, served alongside a tangy mango salsa. For the main course, indulge in our signature Ugandan Peanut Stew, a rich and creamy dish bursting with aromatic spices and tender chunks of chicken or vegetables. Pair it with fluffy Ugali or fragrant matooke for a truly satisfying meal.

Cooking Together:

They say that people that cook together, stay together. So why not get your friends and family to join in on the fun. Get creative in the kitchen as you chop, stir, and sauté your way to a delicious meal. Bond over shared tasks and savor the anticipation of the culinary delights to come.

Final Touches:

As you sit down to enjoy your feast, take a moment to savor each bite and appreciate the time spent together. Engage in meaningful conversation, reminisce about fond memories, and dream about the future. And don't forget to end the evening on a sweet note with a heartfelt exchange of affection and gratitude.

We believe that love is best expressed through food. From our kitchen to yours, happy cooking and happy Black History Month!
