(CANCELLED) Bangladeshi Cookery Class with Aklima | Family Style | LONDON

Nothing beats a home-cooked meal shared with family! And this is what inspires our Family Style Cookery Classes, a fun, laid-back homestyle cooking experience. Here, you will learn to prepare different dishes and then enjoy them with people who, like you, fuel our mission of supporting refugee and migrant chefs on their journey to integration. It’s a cookery class with a conscience, like they say!

Your class will be led by our wonderful chef Aklima from Bangladesh at Holdspace in London.

At our Family Style Cookery Classes, you will be grouped with other participants and prepare dishes together as a team. Think of Chef Aklima as the head of the family! She will take care of dividing the class into groups, and each group will be responsible for creating one of the dishes. Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to move around during the class to learn about the other dishes being prepared. Throughout the evening, Chef Aklima will share stories about their food and culture, and explain how to prepare each of the dishes so you come away with some new cooking tricks and inspiration from Bangladesh. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

A sample menu of the dishes that will be taught include:

• Vegetable Biryani
• Chicken Curry with Green Pepper
• Dahl
• Sana Chat

This menu contains meat but can be catered to other dietary requirements. Allergens include: celery, mustard, and milk . Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements so our team is aware ahead of the class but kindly note that we will not be substituting any ingredients to accommodate dietary needs so please only book into classes that suit your dietary preferences and needs. Please see our Food and Allergen Policy when booking into the class for more information.

A message from our Chef Aklima:

“Hello I’m Aklima. I have a great passion for authentic cooking using fresh exotic blends of spices. I have years of experience in delivering food to suit all taste buds. I can cook from traditional clay pan to ceramic pan. If you are a food lover and want to go that extra mile to experience hands-on cooking authentic traditional Bangladeshi food, attend a cookery session with me and I promise you will not be disappointed.”
