About this class
I would like to “invite” you once a month to dive into traditional Congolese cuisine with me as part of a cooking class. We cook my favorite chicken and meat family recipes. There is Kamundele and Soso Ya Mwamba (in German: grilled beef skewers and chicken in peanut butter sauce), the classics of Congolese cuisine. There are also Africa's most famous side dishes: fufu and makemba (plantains).
In West and Central African cuisine, fufu or foufou describes a solid porridge made from cassava, yams or semolina. It is the main ingredient or side dish of many dishes, especially in Ghana, Benin, Togo, Cameroon, Congo-Brazzaville, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon and Nigeria.
When it comes to drinks, we travel across the African continent: There are beers from various African countries, soft drinks and South African wines. Of course, a delicious dessert is not to be missed: Mikatè.
Let's enjoy Congolese cuisine together.

Bijoux Mankele
I, Bijoux, grew up in Angola, Congo and later in Cologne, now in Berlin, learned to cook from my beloved grandma and would now like to make the diversity of African cuisine known beyond fufu and couscous.
I gave this cooking class to my best friend for his birthday to show him a part of my world: I'm half Congolese. Yet this course has allowed me to rediscover the kitchen. I also don't remember eating better West African cuisine in...
