Eritrean Cookery Class

About this course

The class explores Eritrean cooking through a selection of dishes that may include salads, stews, sambusa, shiro, ful medames, sauces and injera. Participants choose one dish to focus on, while also moving around the kitchen to help prepare other recipes and observe how the meal comes together. The teaching is collaborative and family-style, with everyone contributing to the preparation. After cooking, the group sits down together to eat the meal they have made.
