Ecuadorean Cookery Class with Leonor | Station Style | LONDON

June 12, 2022 @ 11:45 am - 2:15 pm

Chef Leonor will teach hard-to-find Ecuadorean recipes followed by a sit-down meal. A delicious learning experience like no other!

Nothing beats a home-cooked meal shared with family! And this is what inspires our Family Style Cookery Classes, a fun, laid-back homestyle cooking experience. Here, you will learn to prepare different dishes and then enjoy them with people who, like you, fuel our mission of supporting refugee and migrant chefs on their journey to integration. It’s a cookery class with a conscience, like they say!

This cookery class will be taught by the wonderful Ecuadorean chef, Leonor, at the Migrateful Cookery School in Clerkenwell.

At our Family Style Cookery Classes, you will be grouped with other participants and prepare dishes together as a team. Think of Leonor as the head of the family! She will take care of dividing the class into groups, and each group will be responsible for creating one of the dishes. Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to move around during the class to learn about the other dishes being prepared. Throughout the evening, Chef Leonor will share stories about their food and culture, and explain how to prepare each of the dishes so you come away with some new cooking tricks and inspiration from Ecuador. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

A sample menu of the dishes that will be taught include:

  • Arroz Revuelto (Scrambled Rice)
  • Locro (Potato and Cheese Soup)
  • Tortilla Vegetariana (Vegetable Omelette)
  • Ceviche De Camaron (Shrimp Ceviche)
  • Ensebollado (Tuna and Yam Stew)

This menu contains fish and shellfish. Allergens include: eggs, milk, shellfish, fish, mustard.

Please see our Food and Allergen Policy when booking into the class for more information.

A message from our Chef Leonor:

“My name is Leonor and I am from Ecuador. I came to London 7 years ago. All my friends and family know me for being a wonderful cook. I am a kind and hard working person and I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new things. I love Ecuadorian food. Migrateful is a very important way for me to build my confidence. My heart beats every time someone speaks English to me in the street. This is why Migrateful is so important for me because it’s a chance for me to get over my fear of speaking English. Leading a cookery class feels like a real challenge because of having to be able to communicate in English – but I am excited about this challenge and excited to teach you my Ecuadorian recipes.”
