Highlights
- Fairview Great House and Botanical Gardens - After a short drive you will arrive at Fairview Great House & Botanical Garden, a beautifully restored plantation house believed to have been originally built in 1701 by the French. You will be taken to a colonial style room where you would be introduced to the chef who will guide you through the cooking demonstration recounting tales about the history of our Caribbean foods and share old and new recipes and introduce you to locally grown ingredients. Some of the participants will also have the opportunity to assist the chef in her meal preparations and the group can engage with her throughout the culinary experience. You will then partake in the delicious meal that was prepared for you infused with tantalising Caribbean flavours. You get to keep the recipe card so that you can try the recipes at home. After the meal, browse locally hand made handcrafts available for sale at the Great House gift shop and take a stroll through the historic building and take in the beautiful views of the tropical garden and beyond.

Exceptional Experience - Outstanding experience from start to finish. The magnificent historic plantation house is a perfect setting for learning about the food, history and culture of St Kitts. The guides (driver and chef) are extremely knowledgeable and personable. A nice variety of local dishes that could be replicated at home were prepared for our dining enjoyment. Rum tasting was available and a tour of the house & gardens was a nice addition. There is also a pool on the property that can be enjoyed by guests. Extremely professional staff provided an exceptional experience and meal.

Chef Che shares local cooking traditions - We booked this excellent cooking class as an optional ship’s tour from a Viking cruise. Wonderful experience. Great setup-mirrors over the counter so you can see the work from different angles no matter where you sit. Che is a great chef, and skilled at sharing her take on island cooking traditions. She explains the ingredients and gives links to her recipes. Well worth the time, and you’ll thoroughly enjoy the meal she prepares.

Great West Indies Flavors - This tour was part of a cruise line shore excursion. Chef Chey did a wonderful job explaining the flavors of the islands while showing off her cooking skills. The end-result lunch and dessert were great! So flavorful! And, she even shared the recipes with anyone interested in trying to recreate the dishes at home. 100% recommend this tour!

Awesome cooking demonstration at Fairview Plantation - Wow! Absolutely awesome. Chef Che and guide Maya really hit it out of the park. The cooking demonstration and meal came with a tour of a sugarcane plantation. The food was awesome. Additionally, I’m excited to attempt to replicate it at home.
