Food for Caribbean Souls Cooking Class

Ready to introduce bold Caribbean flavors into your kitchen? Then Amelia has cooked up a menu you’ll want to try. To kick the class off, you’ll start with red cabbage slaw – a crisp appetizer to wake up your palate. For your first dish, you’ll create a hearty coconut rice and Cuban-inspired black bean dish. Then you’ll prepare the main course, a jerk-seasoned salmon topped with a juicy mango salsa along with sweet, golden fried plantains. You don’t need a passport to enjoy the deliciously tropical taste experiences this class offers. Recipes will be provided. Tickets are priced per person.

MEET THE CHEF:

Growing up in a food-centric family, Amelia Holaday learned the value of community and shared meals early on. This fostered a love for flavors and all things hosting, eventually leading her to open her own restaurant, which operated for several years as a creperie and specialty coffee shop. During this time Amelia deepened her passion for building connections through food and found a great amount of fulfillment providing a space for underrepresented communities to gather.

After moving to Northwest Arkansas, she found herself right at home in the Honeycomb Kitchen. Combining her love of food with planning and organizing has in many ways been a dream job!

A longtime DIY-er and advocate for a simple life, she currently spends most of her free time building out her tiny house and finding space in 240 square feet to create delicious and nutritious meals on a budget.
