Past event! Reggae Reggae Masterclass with Levi Roots
This event was held on the 15th October 2012
Where: Recipease, Notting Hill
The class so nice they named it twice!
Recipease is over the moon to be hosting a cooking lesson with Levi Roots, the legend behind Reggae Reggae Sauce. Levi will take the class through his culinary background - from his roots in Jamaica where he learned to cook with his grandmother, right through to the present day, including his creation of Reggae Reggae Sauce which took off after he charmed the investors on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den.
On the night he’ll teach pupils to cook Jamaica’s national dish, ackee and salt fish, and show you how to create the perfect authentic jerk seasoning. It’s a unique chance to meet a true character, brilliant chef and entrepreneur, as well as to learn about all kinds of exciting Caribbean ingredients and recipes from a man who knows more about it than most. Don’t miss this! All proceeds go to charity!

Cool London guide, 2011
He's now as synonymous with British food as jellied eels and pies and mash, so it stands to reason that Britain's premier geezer, Jamie Oliver, should open his own cooking school and shop. Recipease in Clapham Junction stocks everything you might need for your kitchen, including Jamie's own brand ready-meals. There's a yum et-in and take-out cafe specialising in breakfast and lunch, and they also run cooking classes for everyone from beginners to kitchen whizzes. Pucker tucker, mate!
Kim & Stefan, Clapham
Wow what a great night, my husband and I really enjoyed the evening. It was well organized , the kitchen teams hospitality was warm and fun and the recipes a delight to cook but the taste was even better , a true explosion in the mouth .
I haven’t had such a tasty meal, not sure if it was our cooking or a combination of understanding the complexity of the flavours and really understanding the recipe.
Congratulations to the team. Thank you.
Sean, Brighton
I would like to congratulate and commend the Brighton store. This was extremely well executed, very instructive and more importantly, really good fun. Our chef, Alex, was impressively informed, easy going and informative, humorous and patient. In all honesty, I was sceptical prior to arrival, but that was my own misplaced arrogance, for it was a brilliant experience. One that I would, and have already, heartily recommend to all my family friends and work colleagues.
Elaine, Brighton
Many thanks for a great morning yesterday when Steve shared his expertise with Derek, Elaine, Ellie and Alex. Steve - it was like Jamie was there with us in the room! We loved the meal and are considering investing in a pasta maker. Really wanting to do the knife skills course next.
Many thanks for a making a Christmas so memorable.

August 2011
Where: Recipease, Clapham Junction
On Monday 8th August, our Clapham Junction shop was damaged due to the London riots. Our front windows were smashed, but thankfully nobody was injured. We thought we'd make the most of the situation, and decorate our boarded-up windows. Check out the comments from all our well-wishers.

The Latest magazine: article on Recipease
By Andrew Kay, Creative Director
Brighton
Recipease is my new favourite place to go. Busy, friendly and full of foodie temptations. I can recommend the classes, even if you are already an accomplished cook. They would make a great present for a foodie friend and an even better one for a friend who never cooks for you because they claim they can’t cook. The products are well designed and sensibly priced, and I can vouch that the prepared dishes you finish at home are great as one dear friend, who claims that he can’t cook, uses them to great effect on a regular basis. All in all, as they all seem to say: bish bosh – job done!
