Join Chef Kerline Ordeus for an intimate, hands-on workshop exploring two essentials found in Haitian kitchens around the world: Epis and Pikliz.
More than recipes, these pantry staples tell a story. Epis is the aromatic seasoning base that forms the foundation of countless Haitian dishes, while Pikliz brings the vibrant heat, brightness, and contrast that make every bite come alive.
Together, we'll slow down, gather around the table, and create these staples from scratch while learning the traditions, techniques, and cultural significance behind them.
Throughout the experience, guests will explore a curated herb and spice library, participate in guided preparation, enjoy tastings, and leave with a deeper understanding of how flavor, memory, and heritage intersect in Haitian cuisine.
