The Brighton & Hove Food Partnership's Community Kitchen is a cookery school where everyone can cook, learn new skills and enjoy food with others. We want everyone to experience the benefits of cooking and eating together. By paying for a cookery class, you help other people to attend cookery activities, regardless of finance, confidence or ability, and to make lasting changes to their lives.
Description
Join us for a unique Supper Club with Xavier Buendia and help us raise money for our Primary Schools cookery project.
In this special evening we will explore Xav's childhood and home of Mexico city through food.
Xav will be cooking a menu rooted in memory, re- creating dishes and flavours from his childhood that he ate as he grew up in his grandma's kitchen, at friends' parties, and at home with his family.
Celebrate the end of term with us and support us in creating food memories for school children in our community.
"Come hungry!"- Xav
We will be using meat for the class will from our friends at Sussex Grazed, and fish from Brighton & Newhaven Fish Sales.

Tomatoes
Chorizo Molletes / Bean Tostada
Birramen with Udon Noodles / Mushroom Colorado
Dark chocolate Hagels
A Hibiscus Tequila cocktail or non alcoholic alternative.

A huge thank you to Xav who is kindly donating his time to help raise funds for our school cookery group. We need support for cookery sessions for local primary school children. Many schools no longer have cookery facilities on site to teach these vital life skills. We also find that leaving the classroom environment & learning from our skilled chefs can support children to try new foods and feel much more confident & independent - especially meaningful for children who may struggle in the classroom.
