Cooking
Sudanese Cookery Class with Eman |Veg Friendly | BRISTOL
ABOUT THE CUISINE
Sudanese cuisine is a rich blend of African, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean influences, known for its colourful dishes and comforting use of spices like cinnamon, cumin, and cardamom. From hearty lentil stews to freshly baked flatbreads, every meal is made to be shared. In Sudan, food is deeply social - a way to gather, connect, and strengthen community ties. The flavours are bold yet balanced, with every dish reflecting the warmth and generosity of Sudanese culture.
ABOUT THE CHEF:
A message from chef Eman:
“My name is Eman, I am from Sudan, I was born in a city called Kasala. I joined Migrateful because I love cooking. I have my own baking business, I bake cookies and sweets for the Sudanese community around the UK. My goal is one day to get my qualification to be an optician recognised in the UK.
I learnt to cook from my eldest sister. When I was a child we used to play with an empty can, leaves and rocks and pretend we were in the kitchen. Walking down the street in Sudan, you can always smell cooking. Sudanese cuisine is very colourful and uses delicious spices like cinnamon and cumin.
In Sudan meals are always communal –the whole family or household share one large tray. Mealtimes are a very important time for connection and solving each others’ problems. You can’t feel lonely in a Sudanese home. This is the culture I want to share with you.”

Join Eman’s cookery class in Bristol to learn to make authentic Sudanes dishes and celebrate the flavours and stories brought to the UK through food.
THE CLASS FORMAT
Our cookery classes are family-style – everyone works together to prepare the dishes as a team.
While you’ll choose one dish to focus on, you’ll also have the opportunity to move around the kitchen, help with other dishes, and learn from each recipe. It’s a fun, social, and collaborative cookery class where you’ll gain hands-on experience, new skills, and an authentic taste of Sudanese culture.
At the end of the class, you’ll sit down with chef Eman, your classmates, and our team to enjoy the meal you’ve created together.
