2 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests       £60 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Discover the vibrant flavours of East Africa at this Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking class in Manchester, where an experienced chef will guide you through the heart of Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking in this warm, hands-on class.
Over two hours, you'll get stuck into making traditional dishes entirely from scratch – no shortcuts, just real technique and beautiful ingredients. You'll learn how to prepare injera, the iconic spongy flatbread that's central to both cuisines, alongside a selection of richly spiced stews built around authentic blends like the smoky, aromatic berbere. Your teacher will walk you through every step, so whether you're a confident cook or a complete first-timer, you'll feel right at home.
Once the cooking is done, the whole group sits down together to enjoy the meal you've created – a feel-good moment that makes all the stirring and spicing very much worth it. To finish things off, you'll take part in a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, a ritual as soothing as it is memorable.
With a 4.9/5 rating from over 500 happy customers and a Best Food Award under their belt, Asmara Bella is one of Manchester's most loved local gems – and this class is a wonderful way to discover why.

My passion for Eritrean cuisine and culture drives everything we do, and I love sharing this with our community.
