Shirley was amazing - so warm and welcoming. She taught us so much about the origins of Jollof rice and helped us find our own flavours. The Jollof paste made everything so easy too. A really lovely, intimate experience that I would recommend to others.

This is a class that one must take! My partner and I attended Shirley's class and we're blown away by how easy it was to cook Jollof using her Jollof paste. It is revolutionary indeed. The Jollof paste can be used with anything like chicken marinade and used for stir-fry and spaghetti. Shirley's instructions were clear and she is very easy to talk to. Make sure you ask her about the origin of the Jollof paste cause her story is inspiring. Instead of cooking Jollof rice for 2 hours now it's cut down to 30 minutes using a rice cooker. I definitely am recommending this class to everyone I know and would even take it again. Worth the money for sure!

Shirley was amazing and so lovely! We went through the whole journey of how Jollof Rice arrived in the spotlight of the world kitchen. I could ask all the questions I had and Shirley answered them all perfectly. You can really sense how she enjoys what she does. In the end I left with a happy heart and amazing Jollof Rice. Thanks to the paste and her teaching I will now intend to cook Jollof Rice - and other dishes - many many many times with the paste. Thank you Shirley for this unique and lovely experience!

Shirley is lovely and was so helpful from the time I booked to the day of the class. The class was fun and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. I have since also been able to make the jollof at home using her paste and following what she taught us. Highly recommend!
