April’s cooking class – Caribbean Flavours (SOLD OUT)

This class has sold out!  🙁  Please contact me to be added to a waiting list for the potential date of Thursday, April 17th.

By April, we often find ourselves pining for Spring to arrive, and this winter is no different as we see snow in the forecast for this week!  I imagine many of us are wishing we were perhaps in the Caribbean somewhere.  Well, I can’t make that happen…. but I can bring the Caribbean to us! As I’ve spent a number of years in the Bahamas as a school teacher and continue to frequent the islands with my family, the recipes will be closely linked with the Bahamian style and flavour palette, with a few shout-outs to Jamaica and Mexico.

We will indulge in rich Gouda macaroni bites with a bit of kick, and make ceviche using our own walleye from Eat the Fish.  The main course will feature fresh jerk marinated pork tenderloin with exotic mango and jicama slaw and classic Bahamian peas’n’rice, perhaps the most popular side dish on the islands.  And finally, we’ll end our evening in the tropics with classic rum cakes with coconut cream.

Local producers featured this month are:  Thunder Oaks Cheese Farm, Big Lake Pasta, Eat the Fish, Prime Gelato, Veg-e-tate Market Garden, Heartbeat Hot Sauce and Belluz Farms (superiorseasons.localfoodmarketplace.com)
