Your teacher
The Lope Ariyo Cookery School is all about West African food and the food from other cultures that share similar ingredients because of history: the Caribbean, the American South, and Afro-South America. For now, we're starting with West Africa, but we'll be expanding our class offerings soon.Founded by Lopè Ariyo, author of Hibiscus, Observer Rising Star in Food, and Gourmand Food Award shortlistee, the school exists because these cuisines deserve recognition and proper teaching.We opened our doors for our first class in February 2026. Yes, we're that new. In that time, we've already taught over 100 students in a fun, no-pressure environment. Classes cover street food, breakfasts, jollof, soups, and stews, all taught by instructors who know these dishes properly. It doesn't matter if you've never cooked West African food before. It doesn't matter if you have. We want you at one (or more) of our classes regardless. No wahala.
