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 Judith from Ecuador at Holdspace in Angel, London.

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

A message from our Chef Judith:

“My name is Judith, and I am from Ecuador, a beautiful country in South America. I grew up in Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas, an area located between the coast and the mountains, so we had the best produce. I grew up in a big family where food and music were always part of our joy - we loved getting together, sharing meals, and dancing. In Ecuador, you can find four seasons in one day by travelling from one part of the country to another, and that means that you can experience many different types of food in the country. When I came to England, I started to do some voluntary work in a ‘healthy living’ community group, and I used to run a session on healthy eating – this is reflected in my menu today. Teaching others about Ecuadorian food helps me feel close to my country and reminds me that even far from home, we can still celebrate who we are and connect with others through culture and food. Each dish I create carries the soul of my homeland that is inspired by the unique beauty of the Amazon, where the jungle speaks and nature is sacred. My hands work with love, honouring my roots and sharing a little piece of living nature with the world. ”
