About Jordan
Jordan Bourzig, a conscious vegan natural chef and a naturopathic nutritionist student, hails from a traditional French cooking background. He’s studied the fundamentals of French cuisine and gained experience in various restaurants, ranging from bistros to Michelin establishments.
Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle in 2019, Jordan embarked on exploring plant-based alternatives, initiating an ongoing journey to discover the richness of plant-based cuisine. In 2022, following a meaningful permaculture farming experience in Wales, he became more conscientious about the food system and the nutritional quality it provides.
Post this transformative experience, Jordan dedicated his skills to sharing knowledge and offering healthy food to anyone he could assist. He is also on a journey of promoting healing through food and natural elements to contribute positively to the world.
———————————–
This hands-on class is perfect for all ages. It will be a mixture of practical cooking, demos and time to ask questions. We are now returning to ‘family style’ cooking with everyone cooking in groups. This creates more of a communal and interactive experience, working together as a team. All ingredients and equipment needed for the class are provided. Participants under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult (please note when booking).
Allergies and/or support needs: Food is prepared in our kitchen that handles allergens, so we cannot guarantee ingredients are allergen-free. If you haven’t already please let us know of any food allergies and/or support needs you may have so we can accommodate this in the class.

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.
