New African Cookery Classes - Fancy cooking with me?
NEW Ethiopian, North African & West African Cookery Classes & Gifts for Mother's Day Weekend
Cook with me this spring!
This sunday, in the UK and across the world, we celebrate Mother’s day. A day I celebrate my mother, my aunts, my friends and womankind. I also expect to be celebrated, afterall I mother a soon to be 6 year old cockapoo. How does time fly so fast? So please feel free to send me your heartwarming wishes, gifts and more. Thank you! This Friday and Saturday we have two online classes perfect for a Mother’s day treat. Cook with me from the comfort of your home and with your favourite lady, even if she is not in the same place as you, or you could book a private class for her to enjoy with her choice of guests.
I must say, cooking with our community is one of my most fulfilling and enjoyable passions and I am grateful to many of you who have joined us over the years. Our cookery classes are the most fun, engaging, immersive, and educational, as you travel across Africa with me, one recipe at a time. For so many years, and for many reasons, it has been an important purpose to bring people together to share food, knowledge, and a good laugh. Cooking is one of the strongest expressions of love, for oneself and for others.
It's a gift you often give to yourself or from child to mother or father and vice versa, a gift from friends for birthdays and sometime simply an opportunity to spend time with your favourite people. Like the family of 8 who joined our last Ethiopian class in Brighton, just because.
Whether we are two people or twenty, online or in person, the joy of learning, sharing and feasting together is an experience that everyone should have the pleasure of enjoying, and often.
Fancy cooking with me? Find out more about our upcoming classes online, in London and Brighton. Grab a gift voucher for a private class for yourself or to celebrate your favourite people. Vouchers can be used for our online classes, for cookbooks and for our retreats. See you in the kitchen, yours or mine?
