SUMMARY:Jamaican Cookery Class with Tamika | LONDON | Pop Up
DESCRIPTION:Chef Tamika will teach you some of her favourite Jamaica dishes followed by a sit down meal. Warm & easy\, like being with family!\n\n\nABOUT THE CUISINE \nJamaican cuisine is a bold and vibrant reflection of the island’s rich cultural heritage. Shaped by African\, European\, and Asian influences\, it brings together a world of tastes on the island. From hearty Rice and Peas to the iconic Ackee and Saltfish\, every dish tells a story of family\, community\, and celebration. Jamaican food is all about warmth and sharing – flavourful\, comforting dishes made to bring people together. \n \nABOUT THE CHEF \nA message from chef Tamika: \n“My name is Tamika Jones. I am from Kingston\, Jamaica. Food in Jamaica is influenced by all the different nationalities that settled there – Irish\, British\, French\, Asian\, Spanish\, American and African. Everyone wants to live in Jamaica because it is such a beautiful island! A lot of our ingredients come from other parts of the world. \nI developed a passion for cooking\, watching and helping my grandmother from the age of 8 years old. She was a great cook and baker. On Sundays\, she would gather all of us\, her granddaughters\, to eat together. Rice and peas are one of our special Sunday meals. Our home was always full of people. Even though we were poor\, my grandmother was always feeding everyone. There were always people coming over to our house for my grandmother’s food. I remember the day she let me cook was one of the best days of my life. It really boosted my confidence\, like I can do anything! Before leaving Jamaica\, I used to cook from home and sell the food for a living. My food was very popular and I really enjoyed doing it. \nWhen I moved to the UK\, I worked in a Caribbean restaurant for many years. My coleslaw was famous at the restaurant! One day I would love to own my own Jerk centre and franchise it – like Nando’s. \nNow\, I live in London and I am looking forward to teaching you how to cook Jamaican food.” \n \n\n\n\nON THE MENU (subject to change): \n\nRice and Peas | Vegan; Celery\, Mustard\nBrown Chicken Stew | Meat (Chicken); Celery\, Gluten (Wheat)\, Mustard\, Soya\nAckee and Saltfish | Fish (Saltfish); Fish\nFried Dumplings | Vegetarian; Gluten (Wheat)\, Milk\nCurry Veg | Vegan; Celery\, Mustard\, Sulphites\nTami’s Coleslaw | Vegetarian; Eggs\, Mustard\nDuckunoo (Blue Draws / Tie-a-Leaf Dessert) | Vegetarian; Gluten (Wheat)\n\nThis menu includes meat (chicken) and fish (saltfish).

Our city is nicknamed ‘Petit Paris’ because there is a strong French influence. I wasn’t allowed to cook growing up because my parents wanted me to focus on my studies. I was a teacher in Algeria but wasn’t able to continue teaching when I moved to the UK in 2015. After I met my wonderful husband\, we quickly had children and I began to spend more time at home. During this time\, I realised my passion for cooking and baking. I cooked so much for my friends and family that they told me to stop as they feared they were getting fat. In the future\, I want to open my own bakery where I can share Algerian food and culture with people in London. Algeria is extremely multicultural and culturally rich\, which is something I am very proud of.
