NF01 November/December 2023
Issue one of nearfield celebrates new beginnings across the region. We get excited about the reopening of Bristol Beacon, meet the hardy dippers revelling in the cold waters of the restored Cleveland Pools, find out what the Bristol Old Vic's new artistic director has planned; and explore the vintage shops, upcycling workshops, and reclamation yards breathing fresh life into old. We also keep readers moving through winter with a guide to indoor and outdoor activities, and meet the Icebreakers in our first community takeover. Plus we round up all the best events, experiences, and food and drink in the southwest this winter.

Left Sereh brings Gambian<br />
flavours to her Migrateful<br />
cookery lessons<br />
Right After fleeing war in<br />
Sudan, Negla is passing on<br />
her culinary skills<br />
Challenging stereotypes, with<br />
the aim of correcting and<br />
rewriting harmful narratives about<br />
immigration, Migrateful’s public<br />
cookery lessons and tailored<br />
socials take place at its cookery<br />
school, in people’s homes, or<br />
online. Migrant home cooks are<br />
trained to teach classes in their<br />
own traditional cuisine, be it Indian<br />
or Iranian, Nigerian or Nicaraguan,<br />
before hosting – head-of-thefamily<br />
style – a sit-down meal for<br />
their students.<br />
You might be serving up spiced<br />
potato dumplings in yoghurt,<br />
and deep-fried lamb and bulgur<br />
wheat with Syrian chef Sultana<br />
at Coexist Community Kitchen,<br />
or knocking up coconut plantain<br />
stew at St Werburghs Community<br />
Centre. Split into sub-groups,<br />
with each responsible for creating<br />
one of the dishes on your evening<br />
menu, you’re encouraged to move<br />
around and chat during class, to<br />
learn about the other dishes being<br />
prepared, while your teacher<br />
shares stories about their food<br />
and culture, and imparts cookery<br />
tips and tricks. It’s a good choice<br />
for a pre-Christmas get-together<br />
that gives something back and<br />
promotes a more understanding<br />
local community.<br />
