Authentic Jamaican Gastronomy

OVERVIEW

Participate in an entertaining hands-on cooking class at Miss T’s Murphy Hill before dining on classic Jamaican dishes in the restaurant. Self-taught chef Miss T – more formally known as Anna-Kay Tomlinson – created this colorful, rustic venue in the outskirts of Ocho Rios. As you will discover, it is a wonderful setting for dining and for learning to cook iconic but reinterpreted Jamaican dishes. During class, you will prepare a three-course meal using locally sourced farm-fresh ingredients. Although the menu changes seasonally, you can expect to dine on authentic dishes such as jerked chicken pasta and saltfish fritters, both signature offerings. The fish is usually salted cod with pickled onions, tomatoes and Scotch Bonnet peppers. Each of the dishes will be thoughtfully paired with wine. Bananas Flambé, a treat made with caramelized bananas and coconut cream, is often served for dessert. Sweeping views of the lush Jamaican countryside will enhance the dining experience.
