Overview
Join Chef Adunni of Taste Tutor for a global cooking series exploring rice traditions, techniques, and cultural storytelling through food. Each 2½ hour hands-on rice cooking experience explores iconic dishes from across the African diaspora, and beyond, and includes guided instruction, shared dining, and thoughtfully prepared accompaniments served alongside the featured rice dish. This class series is designed for people who love good food, good music, and learning without pressure.
Each class is interactive, communal, and focused on real techniques, from seasoning and layering flavor to perfecting texture and timing and is hosted in a beautiful historic downtown Seattle loft.
To keep this series accessible, each class includes 2 community spots for participants who may need financial support. Guests may choose to donate a spot at checkout.
This series is rooted in education, cultural appreciation, and shared culinary experience and is about building flavor, trusting your instincts, and enjoying the process, not perfection!
Whether you come with friends or solo, you’ll leave having cooked an authentic rice dish, connected with others, and hopefully fallen a little more in love with cooking.

Talk about FUN!! We celebrated out anniversary last night by having a private cooking lesson with @taste_tutor via video call. She is AMAZING! She walked us through every step of making these AMAZINGLY delicious Butterscotch Sticky Cinnamon Buns (ya’ll, we made the dough! Like with yeast and all! I felt like a G). Then for the entree we made Cajun Shrimp 7 Grits with sausage AND Bacon. But the grits though. The grits. Whole bag of cheese. Milk. Butter. Just amazing! And we rounded it off with a healthy sauteed spinach and kale dish. If you’re looking for a fun date night, consider booking Taste Tutor!!! She evven sent us the cooking aprons!!!!
