Learn to cook authentic Antiguan Creole cuisine — ducana, pepper pot, fungee — with a celebrated local chef using ingredients sourced from a family farm. A deeply personal taste of the island's culinary soul.
What to expect
You're welcomed into a relaxed, authentic setting overlooking the Caribbean Sea, where the chef introduces you to the cornerstone ingredients of Antiguan cooking — black pineapple, seasoning peppers, saltfish, and the island's beloved black-eyed peas. With sleeves rolled up, you learn the techniques behind dishes passed down through generations, with the chef sharing the stories and folklore woven into each recipe. The class culminates in a leisurely seated lunch of everything you've cooked, paired with freshly blended local juices or rum punch. You leave with recipes, memories, and a connection to Antigua that goes far beyond the beach.
