Overview

Jerk cooking is an authentic Jamaican way to cook meat. Whether it is pork, chicken, beef or fish, the meat is seasoned and slowly cooked over an open fire or on a barbecue grill. "Jerk" is made up of regional spices ranging from scallions and thyme to pimento (all spice) and cinnamon. The first taste of jerked food is hot with pepper, but as you eat the other spices explode with stunning flavour. It is for this reason why all the other islands have adopted Jerk. Jerk is now viewed as a regional food, and everyone has their own special recipe to make jerk seasoning. Nicole will introduce visitors to all jerk spices and history, and discuss the various ways jerk seasoning can be used to give your food its own West Indian style when you return home. Take this class not just to explore new flavours, but to enjoy the experience of cooking with new friends in a West Indian home with great view of the Caribbean Sea!

Itinerary

Jerk cooking is an authentic Jamaican way to cook meat. Whether it is pork, chicken, beef or fish, the meat is seasoned and slowly cooked over an open fire or on a barbecue grill. The seasoning is made up of local/regional spices like scallions, onion, thyme, pimento (all spice), cinnamon, nutmeg, peppers and salt. The first taste of jerked food is hot with pepper, and as you eat the flavors of all the other spices mingle in your mouth giving an explosion of stunning flavor. It is for this reason why all the other islands have adopted Jerk. Jerk is now viewed as a regional food, and everyone has their own special recipe to make jerk seasoning. In Nicole’s class, Nicole will introduce you to all the jerk spices, provide a history about jerk, and discuss the various ways jerk seasoning can be used to give your food its own West Indian style when you return home. Once lunch is ready, guests will enjoy eating on our large veranda overlooking the Caribbean Sea (and the hummingbirds that frequent our orchids). * Vegetarian options are available upon request.

Great experience

Published on Dec, 2024

This was an amazing experience. Nicole and Adam were great hosts and we loved getting a chance to learn about the culture and the food. If you want island dishes that you can make at home this is definitely worth it. The view from their home is breathtaking and we felt very welcomed. This has been the best experience we’ve had on the island. Highly recommended.

Perfect Port of Call Experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Wow! Nicole and her team exceeded my expectations! The cooking class was fun and informative. I learned so much in a easy and casual setting. I could not wait to tell my friend and family about the experience. Once home, I successfully tried one of the recipes. My one regret was not being able to take some of the food with me on the cruise ship. In a few hours I was ready for seconds!
