This six-lesson course is designed for organizations, community groups, and corporations interested in providing meaningful cultural and wellness programming. Each class introduces heritage ingredients and cooking techniques, blending history, culture, and practical skills that participants can carry into their everyday lives.
A Taste of African Heritage
Basic Cooking Classes
BLK Cookery offers hands-on classes that teach the essential skills every home cook needs. Participants learn how to handle knives with confidence, build flavor, and create foundational sauces that can transform any meal. Whether you’re just starting out or want to strengthen your skills, these classes make cooking simple, clear, and fun.
“We must teach people to cook not because cooking is a chore, but so that we can reclaim our agency and our stories through the food we prepare.”
