Open Cooking Classes
West African Cooking Classes - The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotterdam
Ideal for Individuals, Couples, Birthdays, Parties, Or Just A Group Of Friends
“I take you on a journey to discover the well-kept secrets of all the best exotic flavours of West African cooking. You will discover first-hand all the ingredients, herbs and spices that are used in various West African dishes.” – Cook and Instructor Ebere Akadiri
Ebere Akadiri’s West African cooking classes are hands-on, experiential, and lots of fun . . . not to mention a delicious feast and party!
Together we will learn to cook Nigerian dishes and create a fabulous meal to be enjoyed together. Our cooking classes not only introduce you to the unique, exciting, flavorful and exotic foods of Nigeria and West Africa, but will introduce you to a little bit of the culture, music and dance of West Africa as well.
Our purpose goes beyond teaching you on how to cook the meal we prepare in class. We will teach you skills that will allow you to prepare this type of food quickly for your family or a special occasion. We will help banish your fear of cooking for family and guests and even give you the courage to host a “house party” with your new found skills.
Although various peppers are integral to Nigerian cuisine, West African dishes do not have to be spicy and all dishes are adjusted to accommodate Dutch tastes and preferences.

Your Cooking instructor and Hostess
Ebere Akadiri is originally from Nigeria. Passionate about cooking and entertaining, Ebere says, “I have been inspiring my clients with delicious and tasty meals for over six years. At our kitchen, we use fresh quality and mostly organic produce from local suppliers. Our cooking classes are hands on and all the participants are actively involved in the food preparation. Class sizes are between 10 and 30 participants organized in groups of 5 or 6. The knowledge you learn in class will help you use your unique taste and preferences to create your menu plan and banish the fear of cooking ethnic foods for your family and guests. I have a great passion for healthy cooking and organizing parties and it is my pleasure to ensure that you have fun while learning how to cook Nigerian dishes. There is something for everyone and we know you will have fun. Our purpose goes beyond teaching you on how to cook. We will teach you skills that will allow you prepare food quickly for your family or for a special occasion as well as how to plan a menu for a certain number of persons to reduce waste or food not being enough for everyone.”
