Escape to the islands—no passport required. In this hands-on cooking class, Chef Jennie Gaffney of Jennie’s Kitchen will guide you through a vibrant, tropical-inspired menu bursting with sweet, savory, and sun-soaked flavors. You’ll prepare the full menu and sit down to enjoy it together in class.

🍹 Mango lassi
🍤 Coconut shrimp with sweet chili sauce
🍗 Huli Huli chicken with coconut rice
🍍 Warm pineapple sundaes with rum sauce

What to Expect: Chef Jennie Gaffney of Jennie’s Kitchen will lead this hands-on cooking class, where you’ll prepare a full tropical-inspired meal from scratch. You’ll learn tips and techniques for working with bright, summery ingredients—and enjoy the fruits of your labor with a shared meal at the end.

*This class is BYOB and guests over the age of 21 are invited to bring their drink of choice to enjoy during the class.

Chef Jennie is a locally based Hudson Valley Chef that focuses on both the health benefits and mouthwatering reasons for getting back to real food! She grew up in a household with mainly processed food, so her schooling at both Le Cordon Bleu and The Institute for Integrative Nutrition really fueled her passion for real ingredient cooking. With so many delicious options in our area to eat farm-fresh, she loves taking advantage of what the current season has to offer. She takes immense amounts of pride in her attention to detail and genuinely loves expanding what she does for a living as a craft.
