Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour:
On this online experience, it’s New Year’s Day every day! Join guide Sefanit, an Ethiopian woman from the social enterprise Women in Travel, as she virtually welcomes you into her London home for an interactive, holiday-inspired culinary class. Learn about Ethiopian culture as you prepare dishes that are traditionally served at Ethiopian New Year’s — but in our case, can be enjoyed year-round!
Note: This tour starts at 5PM and 7PM London time. Please remember to check the corresponding start time for your time zone. Your email confirmation will be in London local time.
Welcome to Sefanit's kitchen! Join her live from her home in London as she teaches you about the culture and traditions of her Ethiopian heritage — with a holiday twist.
Ethiopian New Year falls on September 11th, but in this one-hour online experience, we’re celebrating it year-round. The word for New Year in Amheric is Enkutatash, which means the ‘gift of jewels.’ Legend has it that King Solomon of Jerusalem gave the Queen of Sheba jewels during her visit to Jerusalem some 3,000 years ago. Her return to Ethiopia coincided with the New Year’s celebration in September, and the name Enkutatash came to be.
In this interactive, online experience, you’ll prepare one of Ethiopia’s must-have New Year’s dishes, called gomen, which is seasoned collard greens or kale, and ayib, a traditional homemade cheese.
You’ll also learn how to make your own authentic clarified butter to top off the meal (or simply switch out the butter for infused olive oil). Don't worry, Sefanit will be there every step of the way to teach you the process!
While you wait for your meal to cook, you’ll participate in another Ethiopian New Year's tradition: making your own New Year's greeting card – fun for all ages!
To finish your online experience, you’ll savour homemade ginger tea while Sefanit teaches you about the healing properties of ginger and its importance to Ethiopian cuisine.
