  • Kou Kizin avek Marjory (Cooking Class with Marjory)

    At the guesthouse we serve both Haitian and American cuisine.  Our cook, Marjory, is extremely talented, and people are always asking for her recipes!  I have decided that once per week I will spend the day in the kitchen with her to learn her secrets.  Haitian cooking is not a quick, four-step, three-ingredient job.  So…
