Eritrean cookery class with Helen (Vegan) At Farewell Cafe

We are so excited about our first-ever class with the wonderful Helen. She cooks incredible Eritrean food and is a teacher and story-teller. She will share the secrets to a range of traditional vegan Eritrean dishes.

During the class, you will work with Helen and the group to collectively prepare at least three authentic and traditional Eritrean dishes which will be followed by a dinner with chef served family-style.

This is your chance to learn a brand new cuisine, support an amazing cause and eat great food!

Organised by Migrateful

Migrateful is a cookery and language initiative where asylum seekers, refugees and migrants struggling to access employment in the UK due to legal and linguistic barriers, teach their traditional cuisines to the public.

What to expect

During a Migrateful cookery class, you will work within your group to prepare dishes to be served family-style. Some dishes are prepared by the chef and demonstrated to you while some dishes will have you preparing it from beginning to end, while learning our chef’s authentic techniques from their home country. Our classes appeal to those interested in learning international recipes, practising a different language and in meeting new people for a cultural exchange in an intimate home setting, as well as to those wishing to support migrants and refugees struggling to rebuild their lives.

Customers have reported: ‘It is an absolutely fantastic way to spend time with friends, meet new people, and learn about a culture and cooking in a cosy, well-equipped, fun and safe setting’.

Another told us the class was ‘an enriching way to spend an evening. Cooking and eating with new people, talking and learning about other lives, cuisines and cultures’.
