Look a Negril Chef over the shoulder and learn about preparation of Jamaican Cuisine?

Hi Boardies,

My name is Steffen and I am new to this Forum. I will arrive this Sunday in Negril and stay for a week.

Been in Negril and other places (Port Antonio, Bluefileds, Ocho Rios) before in 1996 and 2001 and really loved it.

I was wondering if there is a possibility to learn some traditional Jamaican cooking?

Are there any Chefs or private local cooks who would be happy to share their passion for Jamaican cooking ?

Ideally next week (05th May - 10th May) ?

In return I could give some insight into German cuisine...

Thank you.

Soon come,

Steffen

The only thing that comes to mind is a lunch or dinner trip to Zimballi, they give you a tour of the property and have a studio kitchen where the chefs do a cooking demo.Attachment 35915Attachment 35916

Steph,

I'll be eating at my yard (Zion Hill) all week. If you want to come out and watch or help you're welcome.

Miss Izel will be cooking my favorites (with home made coconut oil)

Post here when you arrive if you want to

I recommend Zimbalii as well. Two trained chefs prepare the meal in front of you with organic vegetables and herbs, grown on the farm. I learned a few things while there. It's a cool place and the owners are wonderful

Agree Zimbali is a wonderful experience and a top "must do" in Negril but I would not call it traditional Jamaican. I would take Captain D up on his offer. There is a recommended driver named Linston who may know the way..

Zimbali looks great in those photos. I like how they made their kitchen an activity for guests!

Zimbali is great!
