Nigerian Cookery Class - Iyan, Egusi & Efo Riro | London | Pop Up

Smootħ and pillowy soft pounded yam served with a duo of soups is the ultimate Nigerian comfort food. It's the dish that is supposedly responsible for giving Nigerians the highest twin rate in the world! In this immersive class, you'll learn to make the perfect pounded yam (iyan) alongside two classic soups, vibrant efo riro and nutty egusi, discovering the techniques that transform simple ingredients into a harmonious feast.

Master the art of Nigerian soups and okele (also known as swallow and sometimes fufu) as you explore the textures, techniques and traditions behind this beloved meal. From achieving the perfect smooth consistency in your pounded yam to creating rich soups, you'll gain hands-on skills and cultural insight whilst learning how to make these traditional recipes in a modern kitchen.

Things to know before you book:

• You're welcome to book on your own. If the class is full, I'll pair you with another solo attendee on the day.
• The class includes demos, hands-on cooking, and time to sit down and enjoy the food you've made together.
• This is a hands-on cooking class, so I'm afraid I can't accommodate spectators or provide a waiting area for friends and family. Everyone attending needs to have a ticket and be actively participating.
