Afghan Cookery Class with Vida| Veg Friendly|BRISTOL

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 Vida from Afghanistan at in Bristol.

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

A message from our Chef Vida:

“Hi, my name is Vida. I’m from Afghanistan and was born in Kabul, the capital city.

I learnt to cook from my mother and grandmother. My mother was always cooking for our big family and often needed my help. She would show me how to make something one day, and then the very next day, she’d ask me to do it myself. That’s how I learnt so much. Especially desert, I love desert the best, and am always making sweet treats.

Two years ago, I started a small business cooking from home through All About the Cooks. People could order my food, and it would be delivered all over Bristol. My food was very popular. At one point, I was getting orders for up to 100 people!

Back in Kabul, I studied mathematics at university and later taught maths in an all-boys private school.

Now, I’m excited to teach again—but this time, a different subject. The subject is food, and the classroom is the kitchen.

I’m happiest when I’m in my kitchen. I play music, focus on cooking, and enjoy being in my own world. It’s my happy place, and I’m so happy to share it with you.”
