As a frequent traveller to Cape Verde, I love Katxupa. So with great excitement I started this experience and it truly was amazing! Judith knows a lot about the history of Cape Verde and as this is a typical traditional Cape Verdean dish, it has a lot of history in it. So while slowly cooking the Katxupa, she will teach and tell you a lot. The cooking itself I actually found very relaxing, as you focus for a couple of hours only on your cooking. The best ingredients are love and attention and that is exactly what you get out of it!

I have been wanting to learn how to make katxupa for so long and now I finally did!
I got to learn it from a beautiful strong women, who learned it from het mom and now made her business out of it. It was confronting to see how the people live and struggle compared to the western world but it also had it’s beauty.

Immediately the 1st day of our arrival at Santiago, Cabo Verde, Judith and colleague Jair took us in local transport to a beautiful location in the interior at the foot of the Pico d’Antonia. We were warmly welcomed at Claudia’s home (Sobrada Dinis Correia) for a Katxupa experience. We also met her friend Renato, a capoeira teacher. This day it became so much richer in experiences, knowledge and emotions about the authentic habits. With moments emotional because Claudia and Judith shared with us heart and soul the essence of their projects, pure back to the soul of terra terra. We are extremely grateful to Judith for this experience and not least for her selfless effort to solve an unexpected problem for us as well. Obrigado for the terra terra baptism and good luck in the future! You deserve it!
