Ukrainian Cookery Class with Iryna |Veg Friendly | LONDON | Cookery School

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 Iryna from Ukraine at the in Clerkenwell, London.

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

A sample menu of the dishes that will be taught includes:

• Borscht (Beetroot Soup)
• Syrnyk (Caramelised Apple and Curd Cheese Cake)
• Pork and Sour Cream Stew with Kasha (Buckwheat)
• Mushroom a la Hutsul (Carpathian Mushroom Stew)
• Deruny (Savoury Potato Pancakes with Sour Cream)

This menu contains meat (pork) but is vegetarian friendly (4/5 dishes are meat free).

Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements so our team is aware ahead of the class. Allergens will be confirmed closer to the class.

Kindly note that we will not be substituting any ingredients to accommodate dietary needs, so please only book into classes that suit your dietary requirements. Allergen information for this class will be updated closer to the class time. Please see our when booking into the class for more information.

A message from our Chef Iryna:

“My name is Iryna. I am Ukrainian.I was born in a small town in Ukraine, but I have lived most of my life in Kyiv - our capital city in the centre of Ukraine, where we built our home.I came to the UK in February 2022 – soon after the war started.

I am staying here with my daughter and her young children, and I have started a different life here.I had a long and varied career as a computer and software engineer, and worked worldwide for over 30 years, as a consultant for large international companies.

I was privileged to travel to and work in many different places in many different countries. I really enjoyed it all - especially tasting all the cuisines as I travelled! But, of course, home cooking is always the best!

As you know, many Ukrainians have come to live in the UK…but you might not have had the chance to try Ukrainian cuisine yet!Cooking for my family brings me great joy and I am very pleased to share some of my favourite Ukrainian recipes with you now

Thank you for coming and I hope you enjoy making, and then of course, eating these foods together”.
