February winds got you dreaming of sunshine? Step into our Caribbean escape for the night and let your taste buds travel while your winter blues melt away! In this hands-on NYC cooking class, you’ll learn how to make jerk chicken with confidence, master a rich curried goat, and perfect a classic rice and peas. You’ll even whip up a sweet, fluffy coconut bread recipe that’s guaranteed to impress. Each class feels fresh, exciting, and a little adventurous -- perfect for date ideas, fun nights out, or solo culinary adventures.
We’ll start with a bright hibiscus rum punch to whet your appetite and keep the energy high. This isn’t a sit-and-watch demo -- you’ll be chopping, seasoning, and cooking everything yourself, and yes, you’ll eat every delicious bite.
This is hands-on fun, a lively, flavorful way to learn how to make jerk chicken, explore Caribbean flavors, and experience one of the most unique things to do in NYC. Bring your appetite, your sense of adventure, and leave with new skills, full bellies, and big smiles!
Please note:
Our classes are fully hands-on -- not demos -- and we need you to eat everything you make (trust us, you’ll want to), so come hungry! Please include any restrictions at checkout and reach out with questions -- we’re here to make your culinary celebration joyful and stress-free.

Recent reviews of Caribbean Jerk Chicken and Curry Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Anthony Howden, attended Feb 2026: Teacher - super well informed, absolutely knows her stuff and got everyone involved! I cut up a slew of veggies in preparation of the meal. The drinks were flowing, and then the final product was fantastic. I’m of Caribbean descent and know what good Caribbean food is and she nailed it. I did a class with the group and the whole experience was a 10/10!!! Highly recommend
