Questions people ask

Where can I take an African cooking course online in Canada?

Right here. Mcuire African Restaurant, an award-winning Nigerian and Ghanaian restaurant in Niagara Falls, Ontario, teaches West African cooking online: step-by-step lessons for more than 40 dishes, plus live video classes with our chef every Saturday and Sunday.

Can I learn from anywhere in the world?

Yes. The lessons work on any phone, tablet or computer, wherever you live. Prices are in Canadian dollars and live classes are scheduled in Toronto time.

How much do the lessons cost?

A single dish lesson starts at $20 CAD and is yours to keep. Courses bundle several dishes for less, and the full West African Kitchen course includes every dish. Live online classes start at $75 CAD per hour plus HST.

I have never cooked African food. Is it for beginners?

Yes. Every step shows what your pot should look like, with timers, tips and fixes for common mistakes. Start with the free party jollof lesson to see how it works.

What if I cannot find the ingredients?

Every lesson has a shopping list and tells you what to use instead when an ingredient is hard to find, and where to look for it in Canadian shops and African grocers.

How do the live online cooking classes work?

Choose home cooking, cooking help, group cooking or cooking for an event, then pick a Saturday or Sunday and a time. Our chef joins you on Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet and coaches you while you cook in your own kitchen.

Can I learn to cook African food for my partner or in-laws?

Yes, and many of our students do. Book a live online class, tell us the dishes your partner or their family love, and our chef coaches you through them in your own kitchen. The step-by-step lessons let you practise between classes.

Can I join a live class from outside Canada?

Yes. Live classes run on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or WhatsApp video, so you can join from any country. Times are shown in Toronto time (Eastern), and we email the ingredient list before the class.

Do I get a certificate?

Finish the West African Kitchen course and you receive a Mcuire Certificate of Completion with your name. It recognises completion of our guided programme; it is not an accredited culinary qualification.
