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.
