Iranian Cookery Class with Raha | Veg Friendly | LONDON |Pop Up

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 Raha from from Iran at in Angel, London.

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

A message from our Chef Raha:

“I am Raha and I come from Nahavand, a small city in the centre of Iran. In the UK, you have English,Scottish, Welsh and Irish people. In Iran, we have Turkish, Arab, Kurdish and Lorish people. I am Lorish. When I was nine, my mum went to work and didn’t have time to cook, so I cooked for her. From a young age, I would change recipes. I still do! My children ask me what a dish is called, but I have often just created it, so it does not have a name! Food is very important in my country. We consider food to be part of the joy of life;it is not just for survival. A meal should not only be the taste, it should be how it looks, how it smells and how it feels. I arrived in the UK in January 2024 with my husband and two daughters. At first, I was worried about everything, but I have found that British people are very kind. Someone referred me to Migrateful, and here I am today. I want to share my country’s delicious recipes. I have chosen dishes from all four corners of Iran so you can experience many flavours and ingredients.”
