“The teacher, Lope, was absolutely lovely, and her amazing knowledge and passion for Nigerian cooking really shone through. The steps were easy to follow, and I was delighted with the delicious Jollof rice, chicken, coleslaw and plantain I made. I also thought it was a fantastic idea that you can enjoy a portion there and take another portion home to enjoy later. It was such a fun and enjoyable experience, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone considering booking!”
