Since I started my cooking classes the most commonly asked question has been “do [I]offer a jollof rice class?”.

I genuinely thought people were tired of hearing about jollof and people would be bored of it. How wrong was I?

So now I’m giving the people what they want and I’m happy to announce the first of four jollof classes is here and I’m kicking things off with Nigerian Jollof on the 10th of May. A quarter of the tickets are already gone 🤯

Coming next is Ghanaian Jollof, which @eatwithafia has kindly given me advice on to ensure what I’ll be teaching is the true way it’s consumed in Ghana.

In development is Senegalese Jollof and Sierra Leonean Jollof.

Abula classes are officially live! 🥳

I’m so excited to announce my Amazing Abula class! Just in time for Christmas and makes the best last minute gift!

When I asked what people would like to see from me if I started running cooking classes the most popular choice was soups and stews and so I figured what better than the Yoruba pride and joy Abula! Abula consist of amala (dried yam), gbegiri (bean soup), ewedu (jute leaf soup) and buka stew (a stew made from red peppers).

The class will be 3 hours long with a mix of demos from me and hands on work plus some time to sit down and eat what’s been made. No previous experience needed, just bring yourself and your apetite.

I’ll be running this across studios in London throughout 2026. The first one will be in Forest Hill @kemblehouse run by @bexseal.

Just a little preview of what’s coming to our supper club in 2 weeks 👀✨

A small sample of our @kwikish lamb shank with coconut plantain puree. We slow cook our lamb so that by the time it gets to you, it’s falling off the bone and melting in your mouth. Don’t forget the richness of that jollof paste? We promise you’ll be dreaming about this for weeks.

This is just one of the dishes for our 30th of August menu, and we can’t wait to share the full experience with you all. There are still a few spots available - check the link in bio to reserve yours! taken in London, United Kingdom by @lopeariyo
