Cooking the Bajan Way

My sister's and I had the BEST TIME EVER cooking with Don and Dru(my apologies if it's spelled incorrectly) we went to the beautiful home of Corinne(my apologies again). We learned how to make Run Punch, Green seasoning, lamb stew, REAL MACARONI PIE, and blank cake and then we sat and ate everything we cooked. It was beautiful. It felt like home and they felt like family!

Fun and delicious way to learn about Barbados!

This was a fun and delicious experience. Our chef was well trained and had us making Bajun food quickly and easily. Our Flying Fish and Cou Cou was incredible, our rum punch so perfect, and our Cassava Pone interesting and a great end to our meal. We made our food in their home kitchen. It felt welcoming and intimate. We took home our recipes and have made the punch and pone and had rave reviews for both. Don’t hesitate to experience this class if you love to cook, eat, and learn about Barbados.

Immerse yourself with this class!

We had such a fun time cooking with Danica today. We started off making authentic rum punch, and put it in the freezer to chill. Then we prepared a pone with cassaba and coconut and popped it into the oven to bake. Next was flying fish and cou cou, using delicious herbs and other ingredients to make a marinade and sauce. Plus a pickle side dish! Danica was an excellent teacher and was also great in assigning tasks to each of us. We had lunch together, drank our chilled rum punch, then finished ...read more

Truly local cooking

The host and cook went above expectations for us. We wanted to try a vegetarian dish, and they went so far as to find bread fruit in a neighbor's tree, because it was not the season to find it in the store. The kitchen was spotless, much cleaner than mine. We cooked more lamb then we could possibly eat, yummy 😋.

So much fun!

Such a fun day! Food was delicious and they had us involved in every step of the process. Danica was an excellent chef instructor, made the class fun and approachable. Went home with pictures and recipes! They were great about making sure we got back to our cruise ship in good time as well, arranging transportation and choosing recipes that matched with the amount of time we had.
