Free culinary tour?

I read on another site about a free culinary tour of the Boma and Jiko that starts around 4:00 and last 30 mins. I was wondering if anyone on here has done it or knows anyone who has?

If this really is offered that would be great, wonder if they offer free samples?

They do offer free samples, and it is offered daily at 4:00 pm. I haven't done it yet, but plan to when we stay at Kidani in November. Sanaa does a similar tour, which also starts daily at 4:00 pm.

We added an extra day to our trip in October and our park passes aren't valid for the day we arrive so I was thinking of checking it out.

"Free Culinary Tour" is used real loosely here, IMO, especially when you compare it to the realy tours that are offere at WDW. It's just a fancy way of saying "Restaurant Advertisement". My wife and I did it a couple of years ago while staying at AKL. You don't really see the kitchens or anything like that. They walk you through the buffet at Boma (we got a taste of a soup and a Zebra Dome) and then a chef discusses the menu at Jiko and they put out a couple of the bread and spreads samplings to try. It's something to do if you are staying at AKL and happen to be at the resort at the right time, but not worth going out of your way for.
