What To Expect

Get picked up from your hotel (or the cruise port) and begin your private Bahamian cooking class in Nassau with a warm welcome at your host Seanette’s home, where you’ll be greeted with a refreshing cocktail and a delicious bite. Seanette will introduce you to Bahamian cuisine, the menu of the day, and the rich history behind the dishes you’ll be preparing. Then, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking class in her kitchen where you’ll learn to craft three authentic Bahamian dishes. You'll learn how Seanette seasons and spices each dish using local ingredients, bringing out the utmost flavor every step of the way. The cooking portion lasts about 1.5 hours before you gather around the table to enjoy the delicious meal you helped create, sharing laughter and conversation with your host. Enjoy your meal with local beer or wine. To finish on a sweet note, enjoy a traditional Bahamian dessert prepared in advance due to its longer cooking time. This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Bahamian food, culture, and culinary traditions in a warm and welcoming setting. Seanette's home is a 15 min drive from the Atlantis resort and a 25 min drive from Baha Mar.

The best part of our vacation! I chose this class for two reasons. Transportation was included. We really were picked up and returned to our residence. Also, we wanted to explore the food culture other than Conch. Chef Seanette came up with several dishes that we prepared and ate. We felt so welcome in her home and comfortable with all of the processes in preparing the food. Chef and her staff went out of their way to show us the food that she grew in her yard and answer questions about the lifestyle on the island. I will definitely have to go back with another visit just for this class and wonderful cuisine.
What an Experience!

What an absolutely amazing day with Chef Seanette! We arrived at the cruise terminal and were greeted by our driver (and Seanettes sister) Simone. It was a clean modern van and she gave us a tour of the island on the way to Seanettes home which was quite a nice touch. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Chef Seanette and she gave us an arrival cocktail and gave us a tour of her gardens. We picked fresh fruit and learned about some of the native plants and traditions. We then ventured into the kitchen where she had everything beautifully laid out and waiting for us. We cooked and laughed and learned for the next couple of hours but the time flew by. As we were finishing up with the dishes, she had us sit at a gorgeous table and she plated the dishes and served us the best seafood meal we had ever eaten which was quite and honor. The best part was her sitting and dining with her at her home as she told us more about herself, her family, and about food and culture. As we finished, our driver was waiting on us to get us back to the port in style and in plenty of time. We left with full stomachs and overflowing hearts. If you are in Nassau, book an experience with Chef! You’ll leave with some recipes and memories that will last a lifetime.
An unforgettable Bahamian culinary experience with Chef Saunette!

Our cooking class with Chef Saunette was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip to Nassau! From the moment we arrived, her warmth and passion for Bahamian cuisine were undeniable. Under her guidance, we prepared an incredible meal featuring fresh local grouper, perfectly seasoned peas and rice, and a rich, flavorful sauce that brought everything together beautifully. Chef Saunette made the experience both educational and fun — she shared local cooking techniques, cultural insights, and even a few family secrets that made the dishes feel truly special. As if the class itself wasn’t amazing enough, on the way back to our hotel we made a quick stop for freshly made conch salad and a cold Kalik Lychee — the perfect refreshment after a satisfying day in the kitchen. If you’re looking to dive into authentic island flavors and bring a taste of the Bahamas home with you, this class is a must. Thank you, Chef Saunette, for an unforgettable and delicious experience!
