Calendar 2022

Welcome to a new year with Taste of Africa – this is our seventeenth! As we write this, it is already the end of April and we have again managed to travel to South Africa during Corona. To travel so far these days is certainly not a pleasure – it really drains your energy and your wallet. But OH how lovely it was there! We came back with charged batteries and new ideas. A shipment with goodies will arrive in the early summer. We dare not say exactly when. Things are different these days, aren't they? We hug each other very rarely – sending out the elbow in a "corona greeting" – we always stand a couple of meters away from each other. We would like to think it's over, that most people that we meet have been vaccinated and that you stay at home if you are ill. THANKS for doing this because it is safest for us all! We really look forward to this season with JOY! This year our weeks will be "coloured in stripes", because the two activities Baobab Kitchen and Baobab Café will happen on separate days. This will allow us the opportunity to renew and refresh. We are available for guests that want to book Baobab Kitchen during the day, starting from 13 (one o'clock) during spring, summer and autumn. At the same time, it will allow us to stay open for one extra hour – until 17 (five o'clock) in summer time, when late afternoons are so pleasant. These plans are what we are hoping to do – but we may need to change them depending on unforeseen circumstances. Please, if you travel from far – give us a call to confirm, or send an sms (0702642109). We always have a recorded message on our answering service (unfortunately only in Swedish). Follow us on social media (@tasteofafricahedesunda, Instagram & Facebook) for an exact and prompt update of what is happening around us, including opening hours. Many thanks! Heartfelt warm welcome to us!

Baobab Kitchen is our pride – a small restaurant where you book yourself into Baobab Kitchen and cook and bake an African meal with us. Be inspired by new flavours, surrounded by African music and joyful colours. It is the lifeblood of Taste of Africa.

Baobab Café – just come – no booking required for smaller groups. Please if you are a large party of 8-10, please let us know so we can prepare a space for you to sit together. When you come to us, you should stay for at least an hour, perhaps longer to absorb the peacefulness in our garden. Take a seat in the sun, on the lawn or under the roof. We will take your order at the table. Here we serve coffee with an automatic refill, so that it will last for a while. If there are long waiting hours, we will give you extra tea and coffee, on the house. Our 'chilli hot chocolate' made like Grandma used to do it, is to "long for", and so are our moist cakes and Nomsa's bread. We bake in African cast-iron pots, using genuine African recipes and carefully selected ingredients. We choose organic and locally sourced ingredients, where possible, and some things like milk, bananas, & cocoa, for instance, are always organic. We use real butter and much LOVE in our baking. The eggs are from outdoor hens on local farms nearby or organically labelled. There are always gluten free, lactose free, and milk free alternatives. Please ask and we'll let you know! In the Café, we serve no lunches, only cakes and breads etc. Our frequent guests gladly have lunch starting with Nomsa's bread, then one or more of our much appreciated cakes with icecream, an exotic fruit salad, or pannacotta.
