Lots of great cookery classes coming up with the Community Chef CIC

- A Taste of Brazil
- A Taste of Rwanda
- A Taste of the Swahili Coast

Pay what you can - with some free/subsidised options for those that need them. Contact [email protected]

"This is about more than discovering new dishes. Over lunch, our guest cooks will have the opportunity to tell their own stories – about their country, their food, their traditions and the experiences that have shaped their lives. Afterwards, we will gently open up the conversation around the table, giving people the chance to ask questions, exchange experiences and, most importantly, listen to one another."
