• Hillside House - Deja is a passionate and vibrant Bahamian chef with a profound appreciation for food, travel, and hospitality. Participate in her exclusive, hands-on Bahamian cooking class held in the outdoor courtyard of Hillside House, a delightful art gallery located in downtown Nassau. Start with a refreshing beverage and crispy conch fritters before putting on Batik aprons for your engaging 3-hour session. You’ll create a traditional Sunday dinner feast featuring fresh local fish, peas ‘n’ rice, fried plantains, and customized garlic macaroni ‘n’ cheese, concluding with a homemade guava or pineapple tartlet. Throughout the class, you’ll explore Bahamian flavors and culinary traditions, while also learning how to slice a mango or peel a seasonal guinep, a tropical fruit akin to lychee, freshly picked from Deja’s garden. This experience combines hands-on cooking with live demonstrations and provides you with recipes, new skills, and cherished memories. Feel free to explore the local art in the gallery after your experience. The price of your experience includes a rum cocktail!

Your cooking class venue is a 2-minute walk from Pirate of Nassau, a 5-minute walk from Señor Frog’s, and a 15-minute walk from the cruise terminal.
