Ethiopian Cooking Experience

Forget forks — this is food you eat with your hands.

Discover one of London’s best-kept foodie secrets in this joyful deep-dive into Ethiopian cuisine. Learn to cook authentic dishes in a friendly, aromatic class that’s equal parts spice, culture and community.

You’ll master the basics of this vibrant culinary tradition — from slow-cooked stews and warming spice blends to the ultimate Ethiopian essential: injera. This spongey, sour, scoopable flatbread isn’t just a side dish — it’s your plate, your cutlery, your everything.

After all that slicing, stirring, and spice-smelling, the reward awaits: sit down with your fellow cooks and tuck into your shared creations. Expect big flavours and zero washing up.

Held in the buzzing Shepherds Bush Market, this experience is a real celebration of Ethiopian culture. Vegan, veggie, meat or gluten-free? You’ll find a dish that fits. Great for adventurous eaters, cooking class lovers or anyone who wants to learn a new cuisine from scratch.

Come hungry. Leave full (of food and good vibes).

  We had a lovely morning cooking delicious Ethiopian curries and njera bread. We started with some fresh Ethiopian coffee and the host then showed us how to make everything and we are our meal with some ginger wine - she was really helpful and kind and the cafe is a beautiful relaxed setting. Would definitely recommend!

  This was one of the most incredible experiences I have had! The instructor is a lovely lady who helps you through the steps in the cooking class and makes it a fun and inclusive environment! The food is incredible and I can't wait to have it again! The restaurant itself is beautiful with amazing decorations and paintings with an uplifting incense! Would recommend for everyone to try this!

  This was a birthday present from my girlfriend and we loved the class! Delina is a very knowledgable and wonderful teacher who really took the time to explain the cultural aspects of ethiopian cooking to us. The food was super tasty and it was an overall lovely experience that we would recommend to anyone. Thank you Delina :)
