🌿 Plant-Based Jamaican Masterclass with Chef Safiyah Mariyah 🌿
Come vibe with us for a vibrant culinary journey through the heart of plant-based Jamaican cuisine!

Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just getting started in the kitchen, this immersive masterclass will teach you how to create soulful, nourishing dishes inspired by the rich traditions of the Caribbean—100% plant-based, bold in flavor, and full of heart.

On the menu:

  • Jamaican Patties – flaky, golden crust filled with savory goodness
  • Curried Jackfruit – tender, spiced, and comforting
  • Sticky Jerk Oyster Mushroom Skewers – smoky, spicy, and totally addictive
  • Rice 'n' Peas – a classic, done the ital way
  • Red Cabbage Slaw – crisp, tangy, and refreshing for the perfect balance

Learn hands-on techniques, explore key Jamaican spices, and connect with the roots of these dishes while celebrating a plant-forward lifestyle.


Meet Your Teacher: Chef Safiyah Mariyah

Safiyah Mariyah is a Jamaican-Mauritian plant-based chef and food creative, raised in North West London. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu London, she’s the founder of SMCO, a plant-based catering company, and the soulful supper club series Saf’s.

With deep ties to her heritage and a passion for community through food, Safiyah’s cooking is a celebration of culture, healing, and creativity. Her work is inspired by the ancestral knowledge of her Rastafarian grandfather and her studies in herbalism and yoga—bringing a holistic and conscious approach to every plate she creates.

Through her classes, catering, and private chef experiences, Safiyah continues to inspire others to see plant-based food not just as nourishment, but as a joyful act of connection.
