Your foodie guide will take you on a journey to understand the flavors, nuances, and yes, even the social implications of culturally-rich Bajan (Barbadian) dishes. Historically, Bajan cuisine comes from a required effort to make much from little and to be ingenious with preparation.
Begin your journey in the heart of Bridgetown at the bustling vendor market. Stroll through vibrant stalls overflowing with fresh local produce, spices, and unique Barbadian ingredients. As you explore, learn about the island's rich culinary history, from its African, European, and Indian influences on the cherished traditions that shape Barbadian cuisine today. Discover the stories behind iconic dishes and their role in the island’s heritage.
Next, head to a cozy, local food spot for a hands-on cooking class where you'll roll up your sleeves and “Eat Like a Bajan.” Under the guidance of a warm and knowledgeable host, you’ll learn to prepare classic Barbadian delights such as crispy fish cakes, fluffy bakes, and sweet, moist banana bread. This interactive session will teach you not only the techniques but also the heart and soul behind these beloved dishes.
As you savor the fruits of your labor, enjoy the camaraderie of sharing a meal prepared with your own hands. Leave with new skills, recipes, and a deeper appreciation for the flavors and traditions that make Barbados a true culinary gem.
