Welcome to our family feast!

This cookery class will be taught by the wonderful Jamaican chef, Delores, at Holdspace in Angel.

This small-scale class for 12 participants is not socially distanced.

This is a family feast where we will collectively prepare 4 dishes. The chef will divide the class into groups with each one responsible for creating 1 of the dishes. You are also free to move around during the class to learn about the other dishes. The chef will recap each of the dishes throughout the evening and at the end of the class so that everyone can learn about all of the dishes. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

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

• Rice and Peas
• Curried Chicken
• Vegetable Curry
• Sorrel (Hibiscus Juice)
• Fried Dumplings
• Fried Plantain

This menu contains meat but has plenty of vegetarian options. Allergens include: celery, mustard, gluten, and milk. Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements!

We will also be selling our beautiful Migrateful aprons! You can purchase them when booking your ticket (pick it up at the event) or before the cookery class starts at the venue. Please note we only accept card payments.

A message from our Chef Delores:

“Hello I’m Delores from Jamaica.

I love cooking delicious, nutritional food, using lots of garlic and spices. I was born into a family of chefs. As a young child growing up, I always helped my Grandmother with the cooking, preparing different dishes whilst my mother was out working as a chef. In 2001 I came to the UK on my own, then in 2005 they took away my immigration status and I was no longer allowed to work – 15 years ago and I’m still waiting! Luckily I am a very positive person, I love singing and my belief in God has kept me strong all these years. I really do love to cook and entertain people. I feel very positive when I’m cooking. A dish that reminds me of home is rice and peas. In my country we didn’t cook rice in the week – only on Sunday. So rice, peas and chicken is like the Sunday roast equivalent in the UK. In the week we eat yam, green banana, cassava.”
