Malawi is a landlocked country located in southeastern Africa. Malawian cuisine is largely influenced by its one lake, Lake Malawi which runs along almost the entire eastern side of the country and is home to over one thousand different species of fish. In this class we will prepare four dishes, a delicious fish stew, a sweet potato and ground nuts dish called Futali, a seasoned vegetable dish cooked in a classic Malawian style and Nsima, a Malawi staple food made with corn meal flour. Taona Makunje Chigwenembe is passionate about food. She owns her own bakery and catering company called Checks Cakes and Catering in Malawi. She is also the founder of Creative Solutions. Taona is the US for a few months on a fellowship with 350Vermont where she has been engaging with youth and diverse communities in Vermont to work together for climate justice.
