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!

This training class will be led by Chef Wassim from Algeria at the Migrateful Cookery School in Clerkenwell, London.

At our Family Style Cookery Classes, you will be grouped with other participants and prepare dishes together as a team. Think of Chef Wassim as the head of the family! He 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 Wassim 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 Algeria. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

A message from our Chef Wassim:

“Hello, my name is Wassim and I am from Algeria - the largest country on the African continent, located in North Africa between Morocco, Libya, and Tunisia. I lived in the capital city, Algiers - which is located in the north of the country by the Mediterranean sea. I come from a big family and I have many beautiful memories of food and cooking from my childhood. I used to watch my mother and my father in the kitchen,and I fell in love with the flavours and smells. Algerian food is rich and varied, with Mediterranean, Arab and French influences. We use lots of fresh vegetables, and fresh spices such as cumin, coriander and paprika. Every meal is accompanied by a salad, and the presentation of the food is very important. My cooking class aims to reflect this and I have included recipes that are everyday, as well as some that we eat as part of special celebrations.”
