COOKERY CLASSES AT
ACACIA GROVE
A hands-on, intimate cultural cooking experience.
Our infamous Cookery Classes are relaxed, immersive and rooted in everyday life at Acacia Grove.
Hosted in an intimate setting, each class invites guests to cook, taste and share dishes inspired by East Africa and beyond, shaped by seaonality, local produce and slow thoughtful preparation.
​
This is not a demonstration, its a hands-on experience, where you cook together, drink together, ask questions, learn techniques and gather around the table to enjoy what you've created.

Classes are designed for small groups and feel personal, unhurried, and grounded, much like the way we cook at home.
