Bring the vibrant flavors of Jamaica into your kitchen and experience the warmth of the Caribbean! During this cook-along experience you will learn to make a classic Jamaican hand pie (known as a meat patty) from the golden flaky pastry to the savory spiced meat-filling full of Island-Inspired flavor! You will also learn how to customize the seasoning and heat level to your taste! Tess will guide you through the process step-by-step. The best tricks for freezing and reheating will also be shared so you can enjoy these hand pies anytime.
Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class to allow time for shopping. Have your questions answered by the instructor and interact with other participants as you cook-along. While cooking along is loads of fun, it is optional. Participants will also receive a copy of the instructor’s personal recipes in PDF format following the class. This class will take place on Zoom.
