The Experience
What your day looks like
Host Bio: Daria is a warm, fun and entertaining host who lives with her husband Michael in a mountain home just outside Roseau. Daria says she learned to be an efficient cook from her mother and learned to have fun in the kitchen from her eldest sister! She has fond memories of her dad buying her sister an expensive cookbook and together trying out different recipes everyday. Daria was formally trained in nutrition and loves to experiment in her kitchen. Daria enjoys hosting because she loves meeting different people from around the world - she is eager to learn about other people's culture and to share with travelers her culture and experiences.

Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
You will be picked up by Daria's husband Michael and driven to their mountain home for your Roseau cooking class. Here, Daria will welcome you into her home with a refreshing juice made from local and seasonal fruits. Enjoy the view of the mountains and the sea as you walk around her garden. Back in her kitchen, Daria will introduce you to local fruit, vegetables and potions that Daria concocts herself. Roll up your sleeves and learn to cook 3-4, authentic and seasonal Creole dishes (that Daria puts her own creative twist on!) during your Dominica cooking class in Roseau. Creole cuisine is a fusion of indigenous, African and European food cultures - be sure to hear the stories of some of the island's iconic dishes. You may learn to cook dishes such as spicy batter fried plantain, Creole-styled stewed fish in a blend of peppers, tomatoes and garlic, rice and beans in coconut milk and Christophine, a Caribbean squash cooked in island species. After cooking, enjoy the meal you helped prepare with Daria and Michael at their dining table. Your meal concludes with a dessert such as passionfruit mousse or stewed seasonal fruit and ice-cream. Your experience includes a glass of Daria's signature island rum punch! Notes: - Pick-up and drop-off from Roseau port or hotel is included in the cost of your experience.
