The Brighton & Hove Food Partnership's Community Kitchen is a cookery school where everyone can cook, learn new skills and enjoy food with others. We want everyone to experience the benefits of cooking and eating together. By paying for a cookery class, you help other people to attend cookery activities, regardless of finance, confidence or ability, and to make lasting changes to their lives.
Description
Join popular food writer and Community Kitchen favourite Lerato Umah-Shaylor for a vibrant celebration of Nigerian cuisine, where bold flavors and cherished traditions come together in an unforgettable feast. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn to create some of Nigeria’s most loved dishes—recipes filled with greens, vegetables, and pulses that have been passed down through generations.
The Menu
- Akara Fritters – Traditionally made with black-eyed beans, but we’ll use lentils for a quicker, equally delicious take on this West African favourite, also beloved in Brazil.
- Roasted Chilli Sauce – A fiery blend of scotch bonnets, red peppers, lemongrass, and more.
- Braised Greens with Peppers & Toasted Pumpkin Seeds – A deeply nourishing dish, inspired by the meals Lerato cooked for her grandmother.
- Roasted Plantains – Sweet, caramelized plantains, a beloved Nigerian staple.
- Nigerian Roasted Chicken Stew – A one-pot wonder featuring succulent roast chicken in a rich tomato sauce, perfect with everything from rice to bread.
Expect an immersive experience filled with storytelling, culture, and of course, plenty of delicious food to enjoy together.
