Sri Lankan Cookery Class with Kule | Family Style | BRISTOL

Venue

St Werburghs Community Centre

Horley Road, Saint Werburgh's, BS2 9TJ

Saint Werburgh's, England, GB, BS2 9TJ

Kule will teach delicious, authentic Sri Lankan dishes followed by a sit-down meal. Warm & easy, like being with family!

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!

Your class will be led by our wonderful Chef Kule from Sri Lanka at St Werburghs Community Centre in Bristol.

At our Family Style Cookery Classes, you will be grouped with other participants and prepare dishes together as a team. Think of Chef Kule as the head of the family! He 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 Kule 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 Sri Lanka. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

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

  • Katharikai Puli Curry (Aubergine Curry) | Vegan; Mustard
  • Manjal Soru (Yellow Rice) | Vegan; None
  • Pachai Koli Curry (Chicken with curry leaves) | Meat (Chicken); Mustard

A message from our Chef Kule:

“My name is Kule, and I am from the central part of Sri Lanka.

I moved to the UK in 2003. Most of the time I was relying on take-away and supermarket ready-made food. I was always craving for the flavours that I had in my childhood, especially my mother’s cooking. Ten years later, I was desperate to have these flavours back and called my mum to share her recipes. My mum taught me her secret chicken curry recipe. It was delicious, as good as my mum’s cooking. Ever since, I have tried different recipes and started loving cooking. It became my stress buster!

I cook for my friends’ parties, and they have always loved it. So, I started cooking in bulk for big gatherings. Aside from that, I also enjoy volunteering cooking for different charities around Bristol and love connecting with new people, learning about different cultures and traditions. Migrateful shaped me to become not just an intuitive cook, but now also an organized chef. I love engaging with everyone during classes- learning from different cultures, languages and traditions. I enjoy every moment of it.”
