Taste of Trinidad: Caribbean Cooking Classes

Taste of Trinidad: A Three-Night Trinidadian Cooking Series

Join us for a hands-on, three-evening cooking series exploring the heart and soul of Trinidadian home cooking, led by Cecelia, founder of Cecelia’s Flavour Fusion. Over three nights, participants will learn to prepare classic Caribbean dishes rooted in tradition, flavour, and community.

Each class runs from 6:00–8:00 PM and builds on shared techniques, spices, and cultural context — making this a true series experience rather than standalone classes.

Class Dates & Menu

• January 7 – Pelau and sada roti
• January 14 – Pumpkin choka and baigan
• January 21 – Split pea soup
