At 4:00 PM, join Sophors at the bustling local market, then head to her garden to snip herbs and veggies. Wander through the village, then discover the three traditional dishes you’ll learn to cook. Roll up your sleeves, get hands-on in the kitchen, and finally sit down together to enjoy your creations. End the night with a slow countryside evening.
