Creole cooking fun!

5.00Our cooking class with Chef Jules was amazing! He taught us to make 3 delicious courses and was a lot of fun. We appreciated learning about the history of the island and trying new dishes. We will definitely be trying to re create at home! The property was beautiful with a wonderful view. Would definitely recommend this experience!
Chef Emmanuel and staff...

5.00The most amazing cooking class! This hands down made our trip. We almost always do a cooking class when we travel but this one was one of the best we’ve been to! We were in the class with three other people. Chef Emmanuel and Sylvia were super nice and had a lot of knowledge about the local herbs and produce. Food was excellent. Highly recommend!!
Great cooking experience

5.00Very well done! The class starts with a stroll through the on-site garden tasting herbs, vegetables and fruit then continues into the kitchen. The class of up to 12 people helps prepare a 3 course meal including designing the presentation. The food was all local and very good. Lots of fun and highly recommended!
Flavors of St Lucia Culinary is an unforgettable experience that is beyond excellent!

5.00This was one of my favorite experiences while visiting St. Lucia. I can't express in words the excellence that was demonstrated by Ms. Silvia and Chef Emanuel. I learned tsome tips that I will employ when I am cooking at home. Touring the garden and getting to see and smell fresh herbs was a beautiful experience. The grounds and the overall property appeared to be very well maintained. Ms. Silvia did an excellence job giving our group a very informative tour. She also added humor that made the experience even more fun. Chef Emanuel did an amazing job guiding our group through the cooking experience. The food and dessert was superb!! We are looking forward to receiving the recipes in our email for the food we made. I highly recommend anyone visiting St. Lucia to go on the tour. It is well worth the cost.
Delicious and Super Fun Experience

5.00Sylvia and Chef Emmanuel were incredible! This was easily one of the most memorable experiences I had while staying in Saint Lucia. Sylvia took us around the beautiful grounds and the garden. She taught us so much about Saint Lucian agriculture and we got to smell the fresh herbs from the garden. You could smell the prepped ingredients from the kitchen before we entered the teaching area and my gosh the food we made was SO good. We made a 3-course meal, enjoyed rum punch, fresh mango juice, and a rum tasting! Thank you to Sylvia and Chef for such an amazing time!
Great way to have lunch!!!

5.00So much fun learning about the herbs and plants that St Lucian's use on a daily basis with are quite different from what I am used to in the US. The chef/teacher was top notch and the whole experience was unforgettable!
Well worth the money and time. I would do it again. Thanks for the experience

5.00There is a short tour of a small museum kept within the house. Quick and quaint. There is a further tour of the gardens that are used for the kitchen. Very interesting if you are interested in using natural foods for cooking. The cooking class was fun. Gave everyone an opportunity to put together one of the parts of a 3 course gourmet meal. Presentation of a course with colour and taste and height. All the ingredients for you to understand how Sous Chefs put a gourmet plate together. Lot of fun, and we all have a better understanding of how a busy kitchen is run. Couple of hours with a few others in a kitchen. New friends and a better education of the kitchen.
A wonderful experience...
