About this Event
Chef Randa will teach delicious, authentic Syrian dishes followed by a sit-down meal. Warm & easy, like being with family!

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 Randa from Syria at Appleby Blue Almshouse, London.

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

A message from our Chef Randa:

“My name is Randa. I was born in Syria but grew up on the coast of Brazil. My parents moved to Brazil when I was two years old.

I arrived in the UK in 2019 to begin a new life with my children. I lived half my life in Lebanon. I was a physical education teacher in Lebanon and I had been a professional swimmer and surfer in Brazil.

I have five children and I can speak five languages – Portuguese, Arabic, English and Spanish and even a little bit of French.

I am a passionate cook. I especially love confectionery. I actually have a degree in pastry and confectionery. I like the creativity, the design, the art and the skill involved.

I joined Migrateful hoping I can improve my cooking and presentation skills. I would really like to teach cooking, so Migrateful is the perfect place to learn how to do this.

I am a social person and I love to make people happy. I hope my cooking and my classes will make them happy!”
