Fiery, smoky, and bursting with spice, Nigerian street food is a feast for the senses and one of Africa's best-kept culinary secrets. Transport yourself to the vibrant streets of Lagos, Kano, and Enugu by getting to grips with four Nigerian dishes in this class. From grinding aromatic spice blends to mastering the art of caramelisation and fermentation, you'll gain hands-on skills and cultural insight whilst learning how to make traditional recipes in a modern kitchen.
This class is welcoming and suitable for all skill levels. You don't need experience with Nigerian cooking; everything is explained step by step, with plenty of guidance, storytelling, and practical tips along the way. You'll leave with the skills to recreate a complete traditional breakfast at home, plus tips on ingredient sourcing and storage.
