This focused workshop introduces students to Pikliz, the bright, spicy condiment that brings balance and contrast to Haitian cuisine.
Rather than preparing a full meal, this class centers on understanding acidity, heat, texture, and vegetable selection, and how Pikliz is used to elevate dishes through contrast rather than overpowering them.
Students will participate in guided preparation and taste how small adjustments transform flavor.
