Turn up the heat with a one-pot wonder that's bursting with flavor and personality! In this welcoming class, you'll learn to make Nigerian jollof rice from scratch, slow-cooking long-grain rice in a rich, spiced tomato and pepper broth. Every guest cooks their very own pot, so you get hands-on with each step from start to finish. Hunting for fresh things to do in NYC? This one even comes with leftovers!
Tucked away on the Upper West Side, this is one of the friendliest cooking classes Manhattan has to offer, and it's perfect for total beginners. You'll prep your ingredients, build layers of flavor and discover how the rice soaks up all that vibrant broth. Work at your own pace and ask questions as you go. A vegan recipe is also available, so everyone can dig in.
Once your pot is ready, sit back and savor the fruits of your labor, then take the rest home for later. You'll leave with the confidence to recreate West African jollof rice in your own kitchen. Looking for date ideas NYC couples will actually remember? Planning team building activities NYC coworkers will love instead? Book a private session for the whole crew and get ready to rice to the occasion!
