Comoros / DATE IDEA

Guess the vanilla and cloves.

Set out vanilla, cloves and two more spices, then guess what you're smelling while blindfolded. Afterwards, find a dish together that uses them.

01 / COMOROS

Go at your own pace.

The Comoros are well suited to a date centred on island cooking, scents, music and a short stretch of coast in good weather.

02 / HOW TO DO IT

Set out vanilla, cloves and two other spices, then guess what you smell while blindfolded.
Use small quantities and check for allergies.
Read about where the spices come from.

Don't have four spices? Do the smell test with whatever is in your kitchen.

01 / Comoros

Choose a Comorian recipe with coconut and make a simple meal together. Let one person season and the other taste.

02 / Comoros

Find a recording or scheduled performance of taarab from the Comoros and compare two versions over a cup of tea.

03 / Comoros

Choose an accessible local coastal promenade and take a series of photos of five colors without collecting shells or plants.
