AFRICANA JOURNEYS
FOR SUNSHINE ON YOUR PLATE
I'm Lerato, award-winning, best-selling author of Africana, chef and BBC presenter. Cook the book, cook with me online, or travel with me through Africa's kitchens on a journey you will remember for life.
Africana Journeys
Where cultures unite & hearts ignite
Africana was inspired by the journeys of my childhood, growing up between Lagos and London, and by how food always carried me home. Now I invite you to travel with me: small, slow journeys through Africa's kitchens, and private escapes made just for you. The trip you have always pictured, made real.

Kind words from our community
Do give Lerato’s Supper club a try. She does get sold out pretty quickly so have a look at her website for regular updates. I really enjoyed the experience of trying new food with interesting people in new surroundings.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Lerato, she is an excellent teacher. The food served was out of this world! She breathed life into what would have been a rather corporate affair and we now have wonderful memories of the day.
It was a pleasure to meet you, and everyone is still commenting on how great our cookery class and dinner was.
