You will meet at Momma Cherri's kitchen studio to begin cooking the dishes that Gordon Ramsay loved.
Before the session begins, Momma Cherri will communicate with each of you and let you know what's on the menu.
Together we will cook a three course soulfood lunch
These menu options will be discussed with you and decided upon before your visit. There is the option to expand the menu to include both dishes and further options for an agreed upon surcharge.
Momma Cherri will take you through the history and origins of American Soul Food, browse through her extensive cookbook collection, and share tips on how to make your money go further when cooking through her "don't bin it, spin it" philosophy.
She will also share what Gordon Ramsay was REALLY like, as well as her whirlwind YouTube success.
You will then be able to eat the food on site and take home any leftovers you have made.
Please note: Soul Food is NOT spicy, it is filled with flavor. The event is suitable for all ages. Children are welcomed to come along with an adult. You will be able to buy some of my homemade spices that were used in creating your feast.
"Great fun, great host and even better food. This is more a cooking demo rather then a proper hands on cooking experience given the level of involvement is somewhat limited, however this didn't bother us as we learnt a lot and had a wonderful time. Thanks Momma Cherri!!"
"Charita Momma Cherri has a wonderful personality, with a super duper studio kitchen. Her stories and sunny personality was very uplifting. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and could not recommend it highly enough."
"What a fabulous time we had, we’ve had the pleasure of momma cherri’s incredible food several times before, and this time definitely did not disappoint. We got to learn a good few lessons, fill our tums and take a lot of food away with us too."
"I'll never forget this cooking class. He was a great enrichment for me and made me forget the homesickness. Momma Cherri was so warm and in a good mood that I was super happy around her. I had the good fortune to be able to cook with her alone. I liked the food very much and I got the leftovers home and was also able to enjoy the food the next day. If you love to cook passionately, you should book this course. Even with less English, you can get through well here and often goes without words. For me, getting acquainted with Momma Cherri was a great experience and it didn't stay the last encounter!"
"We had such a lovely afternoon with Momma Cherri cooking some delicious soul food. She is so knowledgeable and interesting! We left with so much leftovers and a full heart! Thanks so much!"
"Wow! We went to cook with Momma C as a group of 4 adults and one 6 year old for my partners 40th birthday. It was incredible. She's amazingly welcoming and in two hours we cooked and devoured an amazing feast, with enough leftovers to have the whole meal over again the next day! The food was delicious - meat jambalaya, sweet potato salad with crispy skins, halloumi salad, sour cream dip, hush puppies, slaw and key lime pie. My son loved getting involved in the cooking (as did we all) and it was so interesting hearing Momma's stories as well as the history of Soul Food. What a brilliant experience. I'd recommend it to anyone."
"Super friendly afternoon eating some of the tastiest food -Momma cherrie is very passionate about her cooking and it really shows ! Can't wait to cook some of her recipes at home using my gifted spice pack and recipes! I can definitely see these dishes becoming a firm favorite in our household!"
"I had the most amazing day yesterday! I have wanted to do Momma Cherri’s Souls food cooking course for so long and finally I did and it didn’t disappoint! Aside from an amazing cook, this woman is such an incredible person with so many interesting stories to tell and a heart of gold. I not only learnt to cook more tasty dishes in 2hrs than I thought possible but I also got to take home enough food for my date that night, which worked a treat! I cannot recommend this experience more highly. I feel very blessed to have been able to spend time with Momma Cherri in her kitchen!"
"I knew it would be good - very good, but Momma Cherri, exceeded my expectations. A genius of efficiency as well as hospitality, she caused My son to marvel at how much she accomplished. We got to experience Momma Cherri her new studio kitchen. The all faithful Kat was there as sous chef and made the Gordon-Ramsey-inspired dipping sauce with the Momma Cherri touch. Phil made an appearance. She sent us home with the ample leftovers. So happy."
"Momma made us feel so special and part of the family! It was the perfect birthday treat and we can’t wait to return. We had such a treat dining alfresco under clear blue skies that appeared. Not only did we indulge in a soul food feast that made our tastebuds dance… we also were provided with a huge tray of meal takeaway to enjoy the experience again at home. Thank you Momma for this wonderful unforgettable experience!"
"Momma Cherri is amazing! She made us soooooo welcome and cooked the most amazing good I have ever tasted. She’s so thoughtful and let us a try a selection of things, the hush puppies are the best! What a beautiful soul and beautiful good. We left feeling not only full but full of love❤️"
