Savor the Flavors of Jamaica

Embark on a culinary adventure and immerse yourself in the vibrant and tantalizing world of Jamaican cuisine! Our cooking classes will offer a unique opportunity to not only explore the mouthwatering flavors of Jamaica but also to understand the significant impact this cuisine has on its community. Through interactive and engaging sessions, we aim to share the rich cultural heritage, nutritional benefits, and social value that Jamaican food brings to the table.
Imported from Portland, Jamaica, I am a Detroit-based Jamaican caterer striving to specialize in creating dishes with fresh, quality ingredients. My approach to Jamaican food is "local and sustainably sourced ingredients, cooked fresh, with Jamaican herbs and spices." I am combining a healthy and innovative take on traditional Jamaican dishes with Jamaica's love for the community into a restaurant concept-driven to bring people closer together around their love of food.
