Start the class by crafting efo riro, a flavorful dish made with amaranth greens, shrimp and spicy scotch bonnet peppers. Then, move on to a hearty, boldly flavored chicken stew that combines juicy chicken with peppers, tomatoes, curry powder and paprika. Learn how to infuse scotch bonnet peppers and ginger into traditional jollof rice, and prepare the perfect side dish of sweet fried plantains.

My niece and I thoroughly enjoyed the pasta class with Chef Chris. We learned so much about the chemistry of cooling and how easy it really is to make incredibly tasty food from whole ingredients. Looking forward to making meals for our family in the upcoming holiday season- especially some homemade gelato/“ice cream”!
