Lope AriyoCookery School
Your young cook will learn how to build the signature smoky flavour that transforms the finished rice.
Together you will learn the perfect rice-to-liquid ratio and the steaming method that delivers perfectly cooked grains every single time.
Discover the key elements to making Nigerian jollof and why it differs from other countries.
Learn how to read ripeness, control the heat and achieve that deep amber caramelisation.
All ingredients, equipment and aprons will be provided.
Your instructor will guide you both through step-by-step demonstrations before you cook together at your own station.
You and your young cook will work side by side, recreating all four dishes together — a hands-on experience from start to finish.
Once everything is cooked, sit down and enjoy the full plate together, or pack up a box to take home if you prefer.
Every young cook leaves with a certificate to mark the occasion.
Dietary options: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian
Allergen notes: all ingredients are prepared in a shared kitchen where common allergens may be present. Please notify us of any dietary requirements before booking so we can ensure we can make suitable accommodations.
Unfortunately not. This is a hands-on cooking class and we do not have a waiting area for non-participating guests. Everyone attending needs a ticket and must be actively participating in the class. For group celebrations, a private event booking is the best option as it gives your whole group a dedicated experience.
Age: Ages 8–17. Each young cook must be accompanied by a participating adult.
