The 2023 Migrateful Chefs are currently completing part two of our training program! Support them as they deliver their first Cookery Demos to a live audience.
In this one-hour interactive cookery demonstration, you’ll watch a Migrateful chef prepare three delicious vegetarian or vegan dishes while sharing stories, cooking tips, tricks and ingredients with you.
There will be opportunities for participants to get involved, and to ask plenty of questions. At the end of the demo, you will all get to sit down with the chef to taste the dishes they have prepared. In exchange for supporting their training and helping us ensure there is not a scrap of food left, we will ask you for some feedback once you have finished eating. You will be emailed the recipes after the session so you can replicate what you have seen at home.
Please note that these are training sessions where we will be testing the dishes, how the Cookery Demo runs and the quantities in the recipes. Think of it like a technical rehearsal at the theatre. This means it may run for longer than a normal session and involve some stopping and starting. Our chef training team will be present to monitor and observe, along with volunteers who will help run the session.
Cookery Demos are a bespoke offering perfect for office socials or as part of a wider event! Our Cookery Demos are ordinarily designed so our team comes to you, but for these training classes, we would love to host you at our cookery school. This particular training demo session will be led by Chef Sanobar from Uzbekistan at the Migrateful Cookery School in Clerkenwell, London (EC1R 0HU).
The menu:
- Kichiri (Mung Beans and Rice)
- Carrot Salad
- Bichak (Pastry Stuffed with Herbs and Cheese)
We will not be able to cater to any dietary requirements nor substitute any ingredients to accommodate dietary needs. Please only attend if you are comfortable with finding out the allergens on the day.
A message from our Chef Sanobar:
“My name is Sanobar and I am from the ancient city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. It is in the middle of the Silk Roads, which means it has been a crossroads for trade and remains a melting pot of different cultures. The food culture is very colourful, taking ingredients and flavours from many cuisines. My family is Tajik and so the food I have grown up with and will teach in my classes is based around this culture
I learned to cook from a very young age from my mother and grandmother. The village where I grew up had cows, sheep, fruits and vegetables and all of my favourite recipes are based on fresh ingredients. I have nine siblings. My mother was our hero feeding her large family every day.
Cooking for my family also brings me great joy and I would love to share my recipes with you. Palav is a traditional rice dish that in 2016 was designated ‘King of Meals’ by UNESCO – after more than 1000 years since its creation it has been recognised as part of central Asia’s cultural heritage.”
