Cooking class experience — learning Pepper Soup properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Pepper Soup correctly. The instructor explained why palm oil is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The deeply umami from fermented ingredients result when you make it yourself is different.

suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. We learned how a family gathering shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of Chapman cocktail. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
