About this class

Discover the tastes of North Africa with Lerato Umah-Shaylor.

Escape to the dunes of the Sahara desert, and meander through the allies of the enchanting Kasbahs of Morocco to the pyramids of Egypt with popular food writer, presenter and Community Kitchen favourite Lerato Umah-Shaylor. In this hands-on cookery class, Lerato will show you how to become a master of spice and share amazing North African-inspired recipes from her new cookbook, Africana.

Under her expert guidance, you will work in pairs to prepare:

• Ras-el-hanout spice blend
• Celebration Tagine – inspired by Mrouzia. With saffron, apricots & preserved lemon and chicken or seasonal vegetables
• Saffron Potatoes & Peas
• Om Ali – A sinful Bread Pudding with cardamom, roses and dried fruits

A glorious feast with a spice blend, two main dishes and a dessert.
