Nothing beats a home-cooked meal shared with family! And this is what inspires our Family Style Cookery Classes, a fun, laid-back homestyle cooking experience. Here, you will learn to prepare different dishes and then enjoy them with people who, like you, fuel our mission of supporting refugee and migrant chefs on their journey to integration. It’s a cookery class with a conscience, like they say!
Your class will be led by our wonderful Chef Kamilla from Chechnya at the Migrateful Cookery School in Clerkenwell, London.
At our Family Style Cookery Classes, you will be grouped with other participants and prepare dishes together as a team. Think of Chef Kamilla as the head of the family! She will take care of dividing the class into groups, and each group will be responsible for creating one of the dishes. Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to move around during the class to learn about the other dishes being prepared. Throughout the evening, Chef Kamilla will share stories about their food and culture, and explain how to prepare each of the dishes so you come away with some new cooking tricks and inspiration from Chechnya. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

A message from our Chef Kamilla:
“My name is Kamilla Taisumova. I come from Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. Chechnya is a small country in the south of Russia. Its population is 1.5 million people.
I was young when I got married at 18 years old. Up until that point, I could not cook. My aunts and my mum helped me to cook and so did my husband. My mum and my husband are very good cooks!
After getting married I moved to Norway and my husband taught me to cook. I have six children - the eldest child is 14 and the youngest is three years old.
When I was a child, I dreamt that I would be a chef and my grandmother always believed I would be a chef one day. I am sure she would be very proud of me.
I lived in Norway for seven years and had four children there. I went back to Chechnya and then we moved to the UK in 2019.
I found out about Migrateful from the place where I learned English. My teacher told me about it. When Migrateful called to say I had got a place, I couldn’t believe it. I was so happy.”
