You Need To Try This Cooking Class in Nassau

Can you learn to cook a three-course Bahamian meal in three-and-half hours?

One Nassau company thinks so.

Tru Bahamian Food Tours, which has been offering culinary walking tours in the Caribbean capital since 2013, has just launched their latest foodie temptation: a cooking class and “lunch experience.”

Led by Elijah Bowe, executive chef at Nassau’s historic Graycliff hotel and restaurant, the class begins with a cocktail and snack. Then students help chef prepare the meal – a sampler of a typical home-cooked Bahamian Sunday lunch or dinner that features seasonal seafood and guava duff, a popular local dessert – picking up basic cooking skills, local food knowledge and perhaps a little Bahamian dialect along the way. Then the group repairs to a private dining room to enjoy their feast, accompanied by a glass of wine from Graycliff’s 250,000-bottle cellar.

“Our team is thrilled to be able to introduce this unique cooking class experience to Nassau visitors,” said Alanna Rodgers, founder of Tru Bahamian Food Tours. “We’ve been developing this product for over a year now, and think it is a perfect complement to our signature Bites of Nassau Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour. The cooking class allows our guests to slow down and connect with Bahamian cuisine and culture on deeper level by going behind the scenes and learning how to prepare a traditional Bahamian meal with their own hands.”

Classes, limited to a maximum of a dozen participants, cost $136 per person, and include a take-home Nassau dining guide; a selection of chef’s recipes; and a branded Graycliff apron.
