Cooking the Bajan Way

Crystal_G, Jan 2026

My sister's and I had the BEST TIME EVER cooking with Don and Dru(my apologies if it's spelled incorrectly) we went to the beautiful home of Corinne(my apologies again). We learned how to make Run Punch, Green seasoning, lamb stew, REAL MACARONI PIE, and blank cake and then we sat and ate everything we cooked. It was beautiful. It felt like home and they felt like family!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for your kind words, Crystal. We are happy you enjoyed the class and to be a part of your Barbados experience.

Truly local cooking

Barb_S, Mar 2023

The host and cook went above expectations for us. We wanted to try a vegetarian dish, and they went so far as to find bread fruit in a neighbor's tree, because it was not the season to find it in the store. The kitchen was spotless, much cleaner than mine. We cooked more lamb then we could possibly eat, yummy 😋.
