About this session

Join Lerato for an explosion of flavours in a virtual masterclass that will take you on an adventure across Africa. You will learn to cook vibrant recipes that can easily be adapted to suit your lifestyle.

Lerato is a masterful speaker and teacher. Her cookery classes are not only engaging but informative and a lot of fun. Her ability to teach a crowd while still engaging with individual needs is one of the many things that makes her cookery masterclass stand out.

You will enjoy cooking alongside Lerato and fellow delegates, as she shares her tips and tricks for using spices to make magic in the kitchen. Afterwards, sit back, relax and enjoy dinner!
