Why This Online Jamaican Cooking Class Is The Only One You'll Ever Need

In a world of quick recipes and subscription boxes, true connection is lost. “Yaad-Style Cooking” was created to be the definitive, authentic resource for anyone passionate about Jamaican food. During this course, I don’t just give you instructions; I take you on a culinary and learning journey.

Here’s how this course stands apart:

Unmatched Comprehensiveness:

Forget learning one or two dishes. We provide an exhaustive curriculum covering over 60 recipes, including oxtail, curried goat, the art of jerk, essential sides, soups, porridges, desserts, and drinks. This is the complete culinary encyclopedia.

A comprehensive Jamaican cooking class from A to Z

Authenticity as the Foundation:

While some teach recipes, I share our heritage. You’ll learn the history, the cultural context, and the family stories behind every dish, giving you a depth of understanding you won’t find anywhere else in Jamaica or the world.

An authentic Jamaican cooking class where you learn our culture
