Top Curacao Classes & Workshops

The Caribbean cuisine is still very traditional. Most recipes are passed on from generation to generation. This is where chef Helmi Smeulders makes a change. With other chefs focusing on traditional recipes, Helmi finds different ways to use Caribbean ingredients and create new and exciting dishes. During her hands-on cooking class, you will learn all about it. Helmi will show you all kinds of Caribbean fruits and vegetables. On the spot they get prepared, so you can taste them as well. Learn tips and tricks about using these ingredients. Like the easiest way to peal a mango or open a fresh coconut. You'll also learn how to fillet fish. Then is it time to pick up the pots and pans and prepare the lunch menu; in groups of 2 you will prepare several dishes and sides. Helmi and her assistant are always available to help you. When all the cooking is done, we will sit together at a nicely set table outside and enjoy a delicious home-cooked Caribbean lunch. During lunch wine is included.
