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 Michelle from Trinidad and Tobago 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:

Trini Bake and Shark | Fish; Eggs, Fish, Gluten
Dhal Puri Roti (Roti with Split Pea, Spinach and Potato Filling)| Vegetarian; Mustard, Gluten
Pigeon Pea Pelau | Vegetarian; None
Stewed Chicken | Meat (Chicken); None
Coconut Vegetable Soup | Vegan; None
Michelle’s Coleslaw | Vegetarian; Eggs
Coconut Sugar Cake | Vegan; None

This menu contains meat (chicken) and fish but is vegetarian friendly (5/7 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 Michelle 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 Michelle:

“My name is Michelle, and I am from the lovely island nation of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. I have been in the UK for the past four years with my teenage daughter - she is the main reason I am here. My cooking journey started with my mum when I was about 10 years old. She had to go to work, leaving me to cook for my two younger brothers. When I first started cooking, there were some really bad dishes, but my mum would correct me and always encouraged me. With her encouragement, I started going to cooking school, and soon I was creating new dishes on my own. My cooking journey has continued since then. In addition to cooking, I am passionate about music, dancing and laughing! The Caribbean is full of beautiful beaches and enjoys fantastic weather and I think the weather and beaches help create a vibrant life and luscious cuisine. I am here to introduce you to my country and to teach you how to cook some of its traditional dishes!"

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