I was joined for lunch by the Hotel’s general manager, Richard Kimenyi, who said that the idea stemmed from guest requests to learn how to cook Kenyan dishes. I was sitting on the terrace of the Karen Blixen Suite of Hemingways Nairobi, looking out towards the drenched garden throug­­h the sprawling branches of a bombax tree. It was at the spa that my indulgent weekend began, in the hands of supervisor Esther Wanjiku. The main reason for my invitation to Hemingway’s last weekend was to sample their new cooking lessons. In stark contrast to the smooth and dimly-lit restaurant, the kitchen was a hot flurry of activity.
