Traveler Reviews

We had a fantastic time! The food we prepared was wonderful. Helmi was a great host! I highly recommend this activity!

Great class and chef. We made a lot of locally sourced dishes. There were 15 people from various countries in the class. Highly recommended. I booked several months in advance.

This is something I wanted to do a long time.. taking a Caribbean cooking class! We always do those classes in Azië but never closer to home. Helmi offered all tips & trics for local food and we prepared some local dishes with a Caribbean twist?? From her lovely new cookbook.. The best part is that you get to taste all the different dishes everybody prepares for lunch! Sitting together at the table discussing how we would prepare it the next time on our own.. with some wine of course! Thanks Helmi for the inspiration!!

We've spent a super fun morning with Helmi, a caribbean chef with lots of knowlegde on the local products. She welcomed us with coffee and got to know us before we started the class. She started her class by taking us on a journey through the caribbean kitchen, she talked about the local products with passion and loved to share her insights. In the beautiful studio we got to cook several caribbean inspired dishes which she has added her modern twist to. Afterwards we had a sit-down lunch outside and enjoyed the food we just cooked up. It is such an amicable and relaxed environment, we felt as if we were at home. I ended up buying her new cookbook, which also has beautiful pictures of the island and will be of great use when I'm back home.
