Overview
Join Garden of Afruika for a soulful Caribbean cooking experience centred around Ital Stew—a nourishing, plant-based dish rooted in Rastafarian tradition. Held at the renowned Hackney School of Food, the same kitchen that’s gained recognition through Loyle Carner’s ADHD cooking classes, this workshop brings culture, flavour, and community together in one delicious evening.
Expect to:
• Discover the history and philosophy behind Ital cuisine
• Learn to cook a hearty, flavour-packed Ital Stew using fresh, wholesome ingredients
• Connect over Caribbean rhythms, shared stories, and a love of good food
• Enjoy your creation together in a communal dining setting
Whether you’re new to Caribbean cooking or looking to reconnect with ancestral recipes, this class invites you to slow down, cook with intention, and nourish both body and soul.
