Rainy Weekend Retreat: Savoring Caribbean Flavors in Saint John’s

Escape the rain and dive into the rich culinary traditions of Saint John’s with hands-on cooking classes that explore Caribbean curry and Jamaican jerk. Perfect for a cozy, flavorful weekend retreat.

A Culinary Journey Through Caribbean Flavors

When the skies are overcast and the rain is tapping a gentle rhythm on the rooftops, there’s no better way to spend your time in Saint John’s than by diving into the rich culinary traditions of the Caribbean. On November 9th, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, you can embark on a flavorful adventure with Nicole’s Curry Class. This hands-on cooking class is more than just a lesson in the kitchen; it’s a cultural immersion into the history and flavors that define Caribbean cuisine.

Nicole’s Table offers a unique opportunity to explore the diverse world of curry, a staple that was introduced to the Caribbean by Indian indentured workers. As you learn to craft a meal that blends traditional methods with contemporary Western tastes, you’ll also gain insight into the history of curry and its health benefits. The class culminates in a three-course lunch enjoyed on a veranda with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea.

“THE cooking class - Much much more than a cooking class. Great venue, views, rum punch, local tips (so try to go at the beginning of your trip!). So fun and worth every penny.” - Reviewed on 2024-07-04

Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a kitchen novice, this class promises a delightful experience filled with laughter, learning, and, of course, delicious food.

Spice Up Your Day with Jamaican Jerk

If curry isn’t your spice of choice, perhaps the fiery flavors of Jamaican jerk will ignite your culinary passion. Also available on November 9th from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Nicole’s Jerk Cooking Class invites you to discover the essence of Jamaican culinary arts. Jerk cooking is all about the perfect blend of spices and the slow, smoky cooking process that infuses meats with a depth of flavor that’s hard to resist.

In this class, you’ll explore the myriad of jerk spices and learn how to incorporate them into your cooking back home. The experience is not just about the food; it’s about the joy of cooking with newfound friends in a scenic West Indian home, with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop.

“Phenomenal experience - Words can’t even begin to describe the amazing experience we had with Nicole and her team for this cooking adventure. We had a group of four and selected the Jerk Chicken option. First, upon booking, Nicole and her team were promptly responsive to inquiries and confirmation with friendly, informative, and professional responses.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-29

This class is perfect for those looking to add a little heat to their rainy day retreat, offering a taste of the Caribbean that you can recreate long after your vacation ends.

Embrace the Rainy Day Vibes

While the weather might not be ideal for sunbathing or beach volleyball, a rainy weekend in Saint John’s offers its own unique charm. The overcast skies and rhythmic rain create a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for indoor exploration and culinary adventures. With temperatures hovering in the low 90s, the warmth and humidity add to the tropical ambiance, making indoor activities all the more appealing.

Both of Nicole’s classes provide a perfect escape from the rain, allowing you to immerse yourself in the vibrant flavors and rich history of Caribbean cuisine. Whether you’re crafting curry or mastering jerk, these experiences offer a delightful way to connect with the culture and people of Saint John’s.

So, grab your umbrella, don your light, breathable clothing, and get ready to savor the flavors of the Caribbean. This rainy weekend retreat promises to be a memorable culinary journey that will leave you with new skills, new friends, and a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of Caribbean culture.
