August 6 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
FREE

Made In Hackney x Mr. Organic Youth Cooking Classes are fun, hands-on sessions for young people aged 12–17, running during half terms and school holidays. These interactive classes build confidence in the kitchen while teaching essential cooking skills. Young chefs will work with fresh ingredients and pantry staples to create delicious plant-based dishes, all in a relaxed, supportive environment.

This summer holiday, we have four weekly session where we will be travelling the globe through food, discovering exciting flavours and cooking traditions from different continents:

  • Jollof Rice – Africa (Thursday 30th July)
  • Thai Larb – Asia (Thursday 6th August)
  • Tacos – The Americas (Thursday 13th August)
  • Pizza – Europe (Thursday 20th August)

Each session offers a chance to learn new skills, try new ingredients, and enjoy making and sharing amazing plant-based food with friends. Come hungry, curious, and ready to cook! 🍅🌍👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Cancellation Policy

As a small charity with limited spaces, we ask that you cancel at least 48 hours in advance if you can’t attend a free community class, so we can offer your spot to someone else. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice are considered late cancellations, and missing a class without notice is a no-show. If you have three or more late cancellations or no-shows within 12 months, unfortunately we will not be able to book you in for classes for 6 months. However, if you have questions or need to discuss your attendance, please email us at classes@madeinhackney.org. Thank you for helping us make the most of our free community resources and ensure we can reach as many people as possible.

Late-Comers Policy

Please aim to arrive at least 5 minutes before the class to settle in comfortably. To avoid disrupting the session and to ensure we finish on time, we’re unable to admit anyone who arrives more than 10 minutes late. Unfortunately, arriving later than this will be considered a no-show.
