What You’ll Experience

Arrive to my house, be greeted with a tasty and refreshing mocktail and the sounds of Caribbean music in the background, gather around my kitchen island as I introduce myself and share a brief history of the foods of the Caribbean including Jamaica and Aruba and the menu of the day. You are getting insider access to Caribbean cooking, family style (as opposed to restaurant style). The Caribbean home is a very sacred space open only to family. You are getting the rare privilege to join ours. You will be assigned to different tasks in order to help to prep and cook. We will chat and laugh and dance and make merriment as we cook. Once the food is cooked, you will sit and eat together. Please let me know if you have any allergies. This is not a nut-free house. We are able to make Caribbean keto dishes as well if you request this upon booking.
