Cook alongside three Kampala grandmothers as they teach the matooke dishes their families argue about. Everyone peels, everyone stirs, everyone eats from the same pots.

Three grandmothers, three family recipes, one long afternoon of peeling, steaming and sharing.

Hosted by Brian Lubega, Events promoter
The Curator’s Endorsement
“Food as inheritance. Brian has built a Sunday that feels like a family gathering you were lucky to be invited to.”
The Tokutana Curatorial Board
The Intentionality Pledge
Every host answers these before a gathering is published, and is held to them afterwards.
Why it exists
Recipes disappear when no one cooks them with the person who knew them. This kitchen exists to pass them on, in person.
The ritual
- Everyone peels their own matooke
- Eat seated together, not standing
- Ask each grandmother one question
The afterglow
On the ride home, you should feel Deeply Connected.
How the host measures success
At least one recipe written down by a guest to cook at home.
