Overview

The history of rum starts in the Caribbean around the 17th century. Cooking with Rum talks about the history and influence of rum on the Caribbean, its culture and its cuisine. Various rums will be present for tasting and flavoring the foods. Since we are on Antigua, we will start with the island award winning 5-year old English Harbor rum and then move on to three other superb brands from countries such as Barbados, Guatemala, Cuba, Jamaica and Martinique. The food will introduce our guests to how various rums can be used to flavor foods whether you are using a classic dark rum or a filtered white. Take this class not just to explore new flavours, but to enjoy the experience of cooking with new friends in a West Indian home with great view of the Caribbean Sea!

Itinerary

Join a cooking class in a local home high on a hill overlooking the Caribbean Sea. This gives you a beautiful view and an opportunity to experience life the Caribbean way. The class is more of a local experience than a simple cooking class. Classes are taught hands-on or can be as laid-back as you wish. Your host and teacher, Nicole, teaches her classes in a very informal way explaining the history of the food and telling stories about living in the West Indies. Nicole will discuss the various uses of rum in the starter, the main and dessert and then you will enjoy a three-course lunch that includes all the recipes for the class. The history of rum starts in the Caribbean around the 17th century. During this cooking class, you will learn from a local about the history and influence of rum on the Caribbean, its culture and its cuisine... and get to participate in a rum tasting of 6 regional rums too!

A great time, come hungry!

Fun, interesting time! The food was great! Everyone got to participate in the cooking. A good tasting of a variety of rums with info on how to drink rum and recommendations based on what we liked.

Mmmm rummy!

What a fantastic day! Nicole and Adam were brilliant hosts, making us feel right at home in their kitchen. At key moments in the instructions we were given detailed explanations (even picked up a few tips for home) with some enjoyable anecdotes thrown in, and alternatives were suggested where availability of ingredients back home may be limited. Each variety of rum came with an explanation (a must for us as rum novices). The food was delicious and we can't wait to re-create it at home. 100% recomend to cooks of any level!

Fun and delicious!

BEST EXPEREINCE EVER

The Nicole's Table -cooking with Rum is a must-do activity while in Antigua. Nicole and her husband have a gorgeous home and are very hospitable. We had a phenomenal time cooking. It was so much fun, and the food and drinks were superb. What a great experience. We returned home and made the dishes and the rum lemonade on several occasions.

Thoroughly recommend!

Both the hospitality and the rum were generous! Nicole and the team were friendly, warm and knowledgeable. We cooked a wide variety of delicious dishes, which we then enjoyed on the veranda, against a backdrop of stunning views of the island. A definite highlight of my time on the island!
