All Online cooking classes include interactive cooking instruction, a virtual dinner party, a packet with the instructor's family recipes, and a video recording of the class. Since the price is per device, feel free to invite your partner, kids, or roommates to join!

Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together!

In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Yipin will guide you through making two of her family recipes. During your class, you'll prepare Yipin's Burkinabè greens with tomato sauce and stewed beef (tender greens and stewed beef served in a rich, savory tomato sauce), served with fried yellow plantain, sweet potato, and African yam (fried until golden and perfect for dipping)! .
