Since Yipin can’t physically welcome you into her home, she wants to do so virtually!
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 fried yams (lightly fried slices of yam, sweet potato, and plantains swerved with a savory tomato sauce) and bissap (a sweet and refreshing beverage made with hibiscus flowers, honey, and vanilla).
Here’s how it works:
After registration you’ll receive an email with the Zoom link, shopping list, equipment list, and recipe packet.
