SUMMARY:Kurdish  Cookery Class with Ali | BRISTOL | Veg Friendly
DESCRIPTION:Chef Ali will teach delicious\, authentic Kurdish dishes followed by a sit-down meal.\n\n\n \nABOUT THE CUISINE\nKurdish cuisine originates from Kurdistan\, a mountainous region that spans across Iraq\, Iran\, Turkey\, and Syria\, and reflects the land’s rich diversity and deep-rooted traditions. It is known for its use of fresh herbs\, vegetables\, and warm\, aromatic spices that bring depth and comfort to every meal. \nIn chef Ali’s class\, you will learn to make traditional dishes such as Bamya (okra stew) and Kibbeh (stuffed rice with lamb). These recipes are often shared at family gatherings and celebrations\, showcasing the community spirit and hospitality at the heart of Kurdish life.” \n \n\n\n\n \nABOUT THE CHEF\nA message from chef Ali: \n“Hi\, my name is Ali and I come from Kurdistan\, Iraq. I grew up in a beautiful city called Sulaymaniyah. I was studying Geography at university\, but in 2017 I needed to leave because it was dangerous for me to stay. When I came to Bristol in 2020 I felt relief because the people were so friendly and supportive. \nI learnt to cook from my grandmother and stepmother when I was 15. They said you must look after yourself when you are at University. I discovered I loved cooking. The first things I cooked were rice and aubergine stew to go with lamb. \nWhen I lived in Manchester with 4 friends\, I did all the cooking. In Bristol I worked in a Kurdish restaurant in Old Market. \nI love sharing my recipes from my country with people from different countries. Kurdish cuisine uses a lot of fresh ingredients\, herbs and spices. It is very tasty but not too spicy. So I am excited to have joined Migrateful and can’t wait to share my story and culture.” \n \nON THE MENU (subject to change)\nBamya (Okra Soup) | Vegan; Mustard \nKibbeh (Rice Stuffed with Lamb) | Meat (Lamb); Mustard \nLahana Maza (Couscous Salad) | Vegan; Gluten (Wheat) \nJajik (Yoghurt Sauce) | Vegetarian; Milk \nBrinj (Spiced Rice) | Vegan; Tree Nuts (Walnuts\, Almonds)\, Gluten (Wheat) \nPatatay Swrawkraw (Fried Mashed Potato) | Vegan; Mustard \nThis menu contains meat (lamb) but is vegetarian-friendly (five out of six dishes are meat-free).

SUMMARY:Somali Cookery Class with Saada | Veg Friendly | Bristol
DESCRIPTION:Chef Saada will teach delicious\, authentic Somali dishes followed by a sit-down meal.\n\n\nABOUT THE CUISINE \nSomalia\, located on the coast of the Indian Ocean\, is considered the gateway between the Horn of Africa and the Middle East. It’s key position in the spice trade route is reflected in the fragrant and aromatic spices central to Somali cooking. The cuisine is a blend of African\, Middle Eastern\, Italian and Indian influences. Expect fragrant rices\, fresh herbs\, and a balance of sweet and savory in every bite. From Hanid (lamb stew with tamarind gravy) to Bajiyo (falafel) and Bariis Iskukaris (rainbow rice). Somali food brings people together\, celebrating hospitality\, bold flavours and the joy of sharing home cooked meals. \n \nIn this cookery class in Bristol\, you’ll learn to make traditional Somali dishes while connecting with others and supporting refugees and migrants in the UK through food. \n \nABOUT THE CHEF \nA message from chef Saada: \n“Hi my name is Saada. I grew up in Somalia\, East Africa\, with my mum and dad and three siblings – I’m the second oldest. I learned to cook with my Mum. She had her own recipes and her own way of cooking. I stayed at her side while she cooked – she needed my help and I was so interested. I would stand with her for six hours at a time. I stayed at school until I was 9 years old and then I stopped. But I wanted to carry on learning so I kept reading and teaching myself.  \nGradually I started cooking more\, by the age of 12 I was cooking for the family.   \n \nI came to the UK in 2004\, first to Weston Super Mare then to Bristol. I met and married my husband that same year and had my first baby in 2005. Now I have four children! As well as cooking for my family\, I cook at lunch clubs and organise celebrations and events for older people\, for women\, in schools and for young people. Always bringing people together through food. \n \nI like teaching – seeing people concentrate. When you cook\, you use different muscles and hold yourself differently\, it brings out the best in people. The way I make samosas is second nature to me. I’ve learned my techniques over a lifetime\, and I am very happy to share them with you!”  \n \n\n\n\nON THE MENU (subject to change): \n\nHanid (Lamb Stew with Tamarind Gravy) | Meat (Lamb); Celery \nSoor Iyo Cagaar Maraq (Vegetable Stew Served on Cornmeal) | Vegetarian; Celery \nBajiyo (Falafel) | Vegan; Gluten (Wheat)\nSambusa | Vegan; Gluten (Wheat)\nBariis Iskukaris (Rainbow Rice) | Vegetarian; Milk\nShigni (Chilli\, Date and Mango Sauce) | Vegan; None\nCoconut Sauce | Vegetarian; Milk\n\n \nThis menu contains meat (lamb) but is vegetarian-friendly\, with 6 of 7 dishes meat-free.  Allergens include: celery\, gluten\, milk . \nPlease let us know if you have specific dietary requirements so our team is aware ahead of the class.
