Migrateful is an award-winning charity & social enterprise supporting asylum seekers, refugees & migrants in their journey to integration & independence. They do this by preparing them to lead cookery classes where they share their traditional cuisine, culture and stories with public and private groups.

Nothing beats a home-cooked meal shared with family! And this is what inspires our Family Style Cookery Classes, a fun, laid-back homestyle cooking experience. Here, you will learn to prepare different dishes and then enjoy them with people who, like you, fuel our mission of supporting refugee and migrant chefs on their journey to integration. It’s a cookery class with a conscience, like they say!

Your class will be led by our wonderful Chef Celia from Hong Kong at The Mazi Project, Bristol.

A message from our Chef Celia:

“Hello, my name is Celia and I am from Hong Kong. In a previous life I worked in a stressful corporate career, but I always longed to live my passion: cooking. So, I finally found the courage to quit and now I have been teaching cookery classes for over seven years. I’m still motivated to explore and push my boundaries in the kitchen.

I would say my style is East meets West. I enjoy mixing and matching ingredients to create more complex and unique flavours. I try to use local, seasonal ingredients so that my cooking is fresh and economical and people learn what their local ingredients are.

I am also a food stylist: I want my food to not only taste good but look beautiful too.

I love the common language of food: how it brings people and cultures together, and how we can share recipes and learn new tastes and skills. But most of all, I love how eating together makes us happy.

I look forward to cooking and eating with you!”
