WHAT YOU’LL DO
Join Chef Peggy to explore the many flavors of Suriname, a true melting pot of ingredients.
The tiny South American country of Suriname is home to people of Dutch, African, Indian, Indonesian and Indigenous descent, and the cuisine wonderfully reflects these cultures and the country's tropical climate and location on the Atlantic Ocean.
Begin with a traditional West African peanut soup, then explore Indonesian influences with a soy and ginger-basted baked chicken accompanied by bamie, Indonesian-style egg noodles from the island of Java. Finish the evening by making bojo, a rich cake made with coconut, cassava, sugar and coconut milk.
Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Chef Peggy cooked for our dinner party which allowed us to visit while someone else did the heavy work. The food was amazing and she shared a bit about herself and how food heals. She not only did the cooking but served our meals and washed up after. Can't beat that for a wonderful evening.

Not only was Chef Peggy’s food was excellent, she was also incredibly engaging. She made it clear we could be as involved in the private chef experience as we wanted.
