Jollof Rice Class

Join us for an immersive culinary journey into one of West Africa’s most celebrated dishes - Jollof Rice. Guided by Mama Akua, you’ll learn the secrets to achieving that perfect smoky flavour, vibrant colour, and layered seasoning that make Ghanaian Jollof a favourite across the continent.

Jollof Rice is more than just a meal. It’s a point of pride, a centrepiece of celebrations, and a source of friendly debate over whose version reigns supreme. In this class, you’ll master every step, from preparing the pepper base to steaming the rice to perfection, and you’ll pair it with flavourful accompaniments that round out the dish.

Whether you’re a confident cook or brand new to the kitchen, this class will deepen your skills and connect you to the cultural heartbeat behind the food.
