The small group size made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned a lot about local Congolese cuisine and culture. I will definitely recommend the course!

The instructor was very nice. The atmosphere in the class was also very good and cooking was a lot of fun. Of course, the home-cooked food also tasted great and you learned a lot of background about Congolese cuisine. Clear recommendation.

Die Kursleiterin war super nett und hat zu jedem Gericht die Geschichte und teilweise auch die Herstellungsprozesse bestimmter Zutaten erklärt. Insgesamt war es eine sehr gemütliche heimelige Atmosphäre, die Musik war toll....und natürlich war das Essen super lecker.
Wir werden mit Sicherheit nochmal für einen anderen ihrer Kochkurse vorbeikommen!

The Bijoux cooking class is highly recommended! It was a really nice evening. You felt completely relaxed, as if you were cooking with your flatmates, and the food was delicious. You can also take something home that I was particularly happy about:)

For me, the Congolese cooking class at Bijoux is one of the top 20 events you should have held in Berlin.
Anyone taking a cooking class for the first time shouldn't take this as a standard, because their concept is unique and I can hardly imagine anyone else being able to implement it as confidently as Bijoux.
The evening was wonderful, private and incredibly delicious. I will definitely be repeating this course and am already looking forward to it!

Bijoux is an absolutely amazing host & cook. The tone of the evening was very cozy & personal, the foods were delicious, and on top of that, the explanations of the different ingredients were so thorough that we won't have any issues picking the right produce.
It was a phenomenal experience. Highly recommended!

Very welcoming host! No one in the group knew each other before and yet we all had a lovely evening. And the food tasted very good - it is also possible for beginners to cook.

I had booked this cooking class as a birthday event for my 60th with seven girlfriends. Bijoux gave us an insight into their traditional cooking and we loved it :-) It was fun, it was super delicious and Bijoux is a great young woman and cook - I give it 5 stars and definitely recommend this course! Thank you and hello from B. from B.

very personal, private and friendly atmosphere, the participants were invited to feel like they were in their local shared flat, creative recipes with authentic Congolese origins, partly from the instructor's grandmother

A cooking class like no other! In a homely atmosphere, Bijoux leads the cooking class at home, with heart and soul. She is a born entertainer, serves her own chili sauces and African beers and gives you an all-round exhilarating feeling. At the end of the course, you will receive a beautifully designed booklet with recipes and restaurant and Afroshop tips, plus beignets for loved ones at home. Highly recommended:)

Get to know Bijoux Mankele
My name is Bijoux
I was born in Angola and lived in Congo for 11 years. After growing up in Cologne, I now breathe the Berlin air.
A cook? No, I learned to cook from the best grandma in the world: My grandma. When I wasn't under our mango tree in the garden, I was standing in the kitchen with Grandma. Before she could safely hand over a knife to me, I watched her with joy. When it was finally ready, everything in my childhood was just about cooking. So much that we had a basic rule: Bijoux only cooks on weekends, otherwise she'll never make friends! My wonderful grandma (inside and out) taught me that African cuisine can do more than “just” fufu or couscous. I want to spread this message to the world!
