Iraniain Cookery Class with Sahar| LONDON | Pop Up

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 Sahar from Iran at 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 Sahar 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 Sahar 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 Iran. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

A message from our Chef Sahar:

“My name is Sahar and I am Iranian, my language is Persian. My ancestors have taught me that my thoughts should always be good, my words should be good, and my behavior should be good. My country is a piece of heaven where my mother breathes and misses me. It has four seasons in one day. It has high and beautiful mountains, many lakes and rivers. I came to England 3 years ago with my two children. In Iran, cooking is very important in our culture, food carries a lot of value and we respect ingredients. Many Iranian dishes include rice and meat and it was a surprise when I came here to find that people don’t always eat meat nor love rice. I was also surprised by how much potato people eat – mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, boiled potatoes and stewed potatoes! I applied to Migrateful last year and waited for a year. At first, I was nervous because I was worried about my English language, but they helped me and I have improved and realised it is not a big deal. In my class, we will play music and eat Iranian food – I hope you feel warm and welcomed, and leave with a happy experience! ”
