Love African food, longing to discover new and exciting new flavours, want to master the infamous Jollof?
Join us for a culinary adventure as I share my secrets to cooking healthy, vibrant and sumptuous feasts with seasonal produce inspired by cuisine from Africa and beyond that you can easily recreate at home.
Our cookery session will start with cocktails and some nibbles to whet your appetite, as you get to know your fellow cooks, followed by an introduction to African cooking, the regional inspirations for recipes on the menu, spices and unique African produce.
FORMAT
Our cookery class is very hands-on, as we chop, peel and cook together. After cooking, you will sit to enjoy a long table feast together.

Lorato was lovely. She made everyone feel comfortable. The recipe was very clearly explained. I don't use chilli much but was able to put just the right amount in, thanks to her explanations. My son popped in a few times to help. And we all lived the food. Really lovely.
