“Food is a love language and a boundless way to connect with people. I’ll teach you how to make dishes that have stood the test of time as they have been loved far and wide. We will look at the stories and traditions of the recipes, how they’ve travelled geographies and ages, and then how to make them to delight the eyes, hearts and stomachs of your loved ones.” Melek Erdal, passionate chef and food story teller who loves to spend time with culinary masters to learn from their hands and hear their stories.
The class will include:

Note On Ticket Price Change
Apologies we have had to pause offering a concession rate for our paying in-person cookery classes. Due to the pandemic we cannot fit as many people in the kitchen which means classes generate less vital revenue needed to keep the charity going.
Refunds/transfers: we require a minimum of 7 days' notice for any cancellations or transfers once you have booked onto a class to enable us to try to resell your ticket.
Please understand our charity needs time to enable us to try to resell your tickets as we rely heavily on the income generated. You are also welcome to give your ticket to a friend or family member in case of last minute illness (just email classes@madeinhackney.org to let us know).
Vouchers: To redeem a voucher purchased on our site, please contact us to book a place. If contacting us by email please attach your voucher. If telephoning, have your voucher to hand so you can quote the voucher number.
