Step into the bold world of Jamaican cooking with this cooking workshop in London, where you’ll learn how flavour is built, not just followed. Guided by Chef Dumebi, you’ll explore the Jamaican flavour system while discovering how it connects to West African cooking traditions.
No experience is needed. This is a relaxed, hands-on session where you’ll be supported throughout, helping you build confidence and enjoy the process of cooking in a new way.
What to expect:
  • Build a jerk marinade from scratch.
  • Balance heat, sweetness, acidity, and spice.
  • Explore key ingredients such as allspice, thyme, and scotch bonnet.
  • Learn about the connection between Jamaican and West African flavour systems.
  • Get cooking in a hands-on, guided environment!
  • Prepare dishes including jerk chicken or a plant-based alternative, escovitch-style vegetables, and a balanced side.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created a full dish, gained a deeper understanding of flavour, and developed the confidence to cook with more instinct and creativity at home.

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.
