Hello,

Enjoying the local food of your expat country is great, but learning to cook the dishes yourself is even better. Please share what it's like cooking like a local in Cameroon.

What are some of the most popular local dishes that are easy to prepare?

What are the most common ingredients used in dishes in Cameroon? Where can you purchase them?

Is there a specific technique or a secret ingredient to master the local cuisine?

Are there resources available to teach you to cook like a local (classes, websites, etc.)?

What are the advantages of learning to prepare local dishes in Cameroon?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Hello Priscilla

To learn about local Cameroonian foods, I suggest you friend a Cameroonian woman and she will certainly be happy to teach you some meals. Some dishes are easier than others, you may ask your friend to teach you the ones that a young girl can easily learn. That's another way to explain what you expect. I also think you should go to the local markets if you can for a local experience.

I hope you enjoy Cameroon!
