Our talented new cohort of Migrateful chefs are wrapping up their initial training and getting ready to hold their first cookery classes to the public.

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

Please note, during these training classes, we will be testing the dishes, and how the class runs. Think of it like a technical rehearsal at the theatre. This means it may run for longer than a normal class and involve some stop/starting. Our Chef Development team will also be present to guide and observe, along with volunteers who will help support the chef, and we will ask for your feedback at the end of the class.

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

Palak Paneer (Spinach and Paneer Curry) | Vegetarian; Milk, Mustard
Butter Chicken | Meat (Chicken); Milk, Mustard, Tree Nuts
Rajma Chawal (Red Bean Curry) | Vegan; Mustard
Green Chutney | Vegan; None
Jeera Rice | Vegan; None
Aloo Paratha (Stuffed Potato Paratha) | Vegetarian; Gluten,Milk
Dahi Boondi Raita | Vegetarian; Milk
Salad | Vegan; None

This menu contains meat (chicken) but is vegetarian friendly (7/8 dishes are meat-free). Kindly note that we will not be substituting any ingredients to accommodate dietary needs, so please only book into classes that suit your dietary requirements. Please be aware that while all allergens listed above have been identified as being in this menu, traces of all 14 allergens will be present in this training class.

Please see our Food and Allergen Policy when booking into the class for more information.

Throughout the class, Chef Poonam will share stories about her food and culture. You’ll work together with other participants to prepare each of the dishes, before sitting down to share a meal together.

A message from our Chef Poonam:

“Hi my name is Poonam, I’m from the Punjab in India. I’ve been cooking since I was 8 yrs old when I started to learn to make parathas with my grandmother. I’d been playing with the flour and water making a big mess and she said that I might as well learn how to turn it into dough! We’ll be making stuffed potato parathas in my class as it remains one of my favourite things to eat.

I learnt to appreciate good food spending each summer in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh at my Nani’s house. Those are some of my happiest memories, playing with my cousins and eating delicious food cooked in traditional mud wood-fired ovens.”

We’re excited to have you in the class! Please take note of a few final reminders:
