Cuisine of Île de la Réunion - Cooking class

About this event

Cooking class and cultural exchange with la Compagnie Tilawcis! Reunion Island Cooking Class The cuisine of Reunion Island is a living art, nourished by influences from all corners of the world and every continent. It has evolved over the centuries, shaped by the skills and ingredients brought by the first settlers, and continues to reinvent itself even today. I invite you to discover a menu featuring iconic and approachable dishes—a true distillation of the flavors and traditions that the people of this “intense island” are proud to share. It’s an immersion in a culinary heritage that reflects who they are: diverse, aromatic, and generous. On the menu: white rice, yellow rice, lentils with eggplant, red or black bean cari, Chinese cabbage fricassee, chouchoux (Chayote) stew, saffron chicken cari, roast pork, side dishes: tomato rougail and cucumber salad, and herbal teas: Geranium, Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, and Ravinesara. After learning, cooking and laughing together, we will sit down with La Compagnie Tilawcis for a meal and cultural exchange. We look forward to seeing you there! Chef Alain Cadivel This cooking class is from 5:30 to 7:30 and the meal will follow. Cost is $95 and it does require an AFMSP membership or a special cooking class membership (this will be available upon registration). Class will be taught primarily in French with English translations when needed and some Créole too!
