Experience the bold, vibrant flavors of the Caribbean with Trinidad and Tobago native  Chef Antonia LeCompte as she makes her debut in the HKS Kitchen. In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll enjoy an appetizer of chef’s flavorful Bell Pepper Pimento Cheese Sandwich before preparing a delicious island-inspired feast. You’ll start by focusing your attention on making a main course of tender, aromatic Curry Stew Chicken infused with warm Caribbean spices. Then you’ll make a delicious pairing of sides–a colorful Carnival Rice and Creamy Potato Salad–and sweet, golden Fried Plantains to complete the meal. The evening’s menu provides the perfect balance of savory and sweet as you discover traditional techniques, signature seasonings, and the rich culinary influences that make Caribbean cuisine so inviting and full of flavor.
