Choose the learning experience that works for you and take your place at the table.
Live Online Group Class
Cook alongside Chef Dumebi in real time, follow each stage of the recipe and ask questions as you go.
Classes explore themes including the Jollof System, Nigerian classics, West African soul food, plant-based cooking, meal preparation and festive menus.
A recipe guide and ingredient list will be provided before the class. Participants purchase their own ingredients unless an ingredient kit is added.
