What to expect
Chef Dumebi’s Life Lab is more than a cooking class — it’s a space for young people to learn, create, and grow. Each Saturday, we explore life skills through fun, hands-on activities that combine food, creativity, and confidence-building.
From cooking simple, delicious meals to trying out creative projects like food styling, design challenges, and even storytelling, Life Lab gives kids the chance to:
  • Master essential cooking skills
  • Build independence and confidence
  • Explore creativity through food, art, and design
  • Work as part of a team
  • Take home practical tips they can use every day
What you’ll do
Each week, students dive into a new theme. For example:
  • Kitchen Basics – knife skills, making pasta from scratch, easy sauces
  • Global Flavours – discovering recipes from around the world
  • Food & Creativity – plate styling, food photography, menu design
  • Life Skills – teamwork, planning, presenting ideas
The sessions are interactive, supportive, and designed to feel like a mini-lab for life.
What’s included
  • All ingredients and materials
  • Recipes to take home
  • Snacks and refreshments
  • A supportive environment led by Chef Dumebi, an experienced chef and mentor
Perfect for
Parents looking to equip their children with practical skills and creative confidence. Young people curious about cooking, design, or just eager to try something new.
Book your spot for Chef Dumebi’s Life Lab and give your child the tools to thrive in (and beyond) the kitchen.

female Women-owned

Chef Dumebi is a chef, educator and creator of The Jollof System — her signature Base → Build → Finish approach to understanding flavour, technique and great Jollof.
Drawing on a culinary journey shaped by Lagos, Lomé, Accra and London, she teaches West African food through culture, memory and technique, helping students understand why a dish works rather than simply following a recipe.
Her classes explore Nigerian party-style Jollof, the foundations of West African flavour, regional dishes, plant-based cooking and contemporary approaches to familiar foods.
Expect bold food, practical technique, plenty of conversation and a relaxed, hands-on atmosphere where complete beginners are welcome.
At the heart of Chef Dumebi’s teaching is a simple belief: understand the base, and you begin to understand the dish.
Beyond the classroom, she is a hospitality consultant, writer and culinary entrepreneur whose work explores African food culture, restaurant development and the future of hospitality.
