West Indian Cooking Class Show Cuisine

Welcome to our FIRST EVER WORKSHOP the group has done!

It’s the last event category of the group that we have left to do that’s been untouched and we're super excited.

There will be a huge umbrella of all our different workshop options that the group will have to offer but the main ones we’ll be doing are our very own COOKING CLASSES!

This will be the West Indian Flavors experience.

Menu: Curry Chicken with steamed vegetables & coconut rice

We’ll have a private class to ourselves with about one to three chefs teaching and assisting us along the way.

The class will be about two and half hours long.

You have the option to actually get the hands on experience or just spectate and eat everything we make. The choice is yours but the package pricing will be different. The hands on will be more and the spectate one will be less.
