Join chef, author and broadcaster, Lerato for a spice masterclass as you travel across Morocco with recipes from her travels & vibrant cookbook Africana.
In this 3 hour cookery class we welcome back Lerato to lead you through a hands-on cookery session. In the masterclass you will learn how to use spices to elevate your recipes, bringing out interesting flavours in vegetables and legumes. You will learn to make your own spice blend of Lerato’s floral Ras-el-hanout with roses, lavender, saffron and more alongside show stopping recipes perfect for the seasons ahead.
Sample Recipes:
- Vegetable Pastilla – a vegetable version of a sumptuous pie inspired by Lerato’s travels to Fez
- Safron Potatoes & Peas highlighting luxurious saffron with humble ingredients
- Fragrant Carrot & Orange Salad – Sweet, zesty and refreshing inspired by a moroccan classic
- Golden Chermoula – Turmeric tinged
The class will end by sitting down to lunch together to enjoy everything that has been prepared.
This class is a mixture of hands on and demo.
Open to all levels of skills and interests. This class is suitable for Adults 18 and over.
*This class is part of our hands-on monthly masterclass cooking sessions, which focus on specialist topics or advanced cooking techniques. Sessions are usually on Sunday and held in the Garden Museum’s new food learning studio. Each class is 3 hours, and will include tastings or a full meal eaten together depending on the course. All profits from our cooking masterclass series help to cover food costs for our community programmes.
