Calendar 2024

Welcome to a new year with Taste of Africa – this is our nineteenth! As we write this, it's still January and the snow lies white on our roofs. When spring arrives, we will open Taste of Africa Farmstall and Café for three days over Easter. New for this year's Calendar are the "yellow days" that show possible open days. It depends a lot on the weather, so make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram and we'll let you know more! 🙂 Also 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 15 (three 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!

Taste of Africa Farmstall, Baobab Kitchen & Café is a  Sustainable destination in Biosphere region Nedre Dalälven

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. Click here to find out more about the lovely food you can cook here and what it costs.
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.
