One-Pot Island Comfort: Chicken Pelau Night

Kick off the weekend with a soulful Caribbean classic in this hands-on cooking class celebrating island comfort food. Together, we’ll explore Chicken Pelau, a beloved Trinidadian one-pot dish built on layers of flavor—from caramelized sugar and deeply seasoned chicken to rice, pigeon peas, coconut milk, and fresh herbs.

Students will learn the essential techniques behind developing rich flavor in a single pot, balancing spices, and achieving perfectly cooked rice and tender chicken. To complement the main dish, we’ll prepare a fresh, crunchy Caribbean-style creamy coleslaw, adding brightness and contrast to the meal.

Recipe Focus:

• Trinidadian-style Chicken Pelau

• Fresh, crunchy Creamy Caribbean Coleslaw

• Welcome drink

• Dessert: Tropical Mango-Coconut Fool

The evening begins with a welcome drink and ends on a sweet note with a tropical mango-coconut fool. Flavorful, comforting, and full of island vibes, this class is perfect for home cooks of all levels looking to expand their culinary horizons.

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child

YES: Couples

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!) For Chef Nights you will always have enough for two plus some leftovers to bring home- you can make two smaller trays of lasagne if desired.

We provide aprons, recipes, all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
