Ghanaian Jollof Cookery Class

Join us for a Ghanaian cooking class in London. Jollof rice is the centrepiece of every celebration, every gathering, and every argument about whose version in West Africa is the best. In this class, you will learn to make it properly, alongside fried beef, a Ghanaian-style salad, and the infamous pepper sauce shito.No experience is needed. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a confident home cook, this class offers a welcoming introduction to the fragrant flavours and techniques of Ghanaian cuisine.What to expect:

• Build an aromatic tomato base – learn how to attain the signature fragrant flavour to transform the taste of the finished rice.
• Master your grains – understand why jasmine rice is the grain of choice, learn the perfect rice-to-liquid ratio, and the method that gives you perfectly cooked grains every single time.
• Explore regional variations – understand what makes Ghanaian jollof different from Nigerian jollof, Sierra Leonean jollof, and Senegalese jollof, and learn tips from across West Africa.
• Picking the perfect plantain – learn how to read ripeness, control the heat, and get that deep amber caramelisation without burning.
• Enjoy complimentary drinks, including asaana, sobolo, water, and tea.

By the end of the class, you’ll have prepared a full Ghanaian feast and gained the skills and confidence to recreate these vibrant West African dishes at home.
