Trinidad Carnival Stay- cay

**This event is now “pay what you can”**

  • Experience the Caribbean festival known as Trinidad Carnival aka “the greatest show on Earth” with us – from the comfort of your home!
  • Par-tay with a purpose: this event is pay what you can with all proceeds going to the Heritage Children’s Center in Tobago. The Heritage Children’s Center is a school for differently abled children. They’ve been providing classes virtually for the kids since the pandemic started, however most do not have the proper technology to participate fully in classes. Your donation will go towards purchasing tablets for the kiddies. Our goal is to purchase and deliver 10 tablets to Tobago!
  • You’ll get our recipe for bake and shark (a Trinidadian delicacy) so you can create your own all-inclusive fete at home. Bonus: the drink of the night will be the best rum punch you’ve ever tasted (we’ll also give you this recipe!)
  • And lastly, this event is the official birthday celebration of one of our founders, Esha 😉
  • Registration is required.  Plus, the first 25 registrants will get a FREE ticket to a soca Zumba class with Erica Dixon!  Go to https://staycations.eventbrite.com for more information and to purchase your ticket.
Caribbean Cook Up Live!

Have you ever had authentic Trinidadian corn soup? This dish is definitely one of ours and our clients’ favourites!  So yummy…filled with corn on the cob, vegetables, potatoes and other ground provisions like cassava, it will be sure to warm up your cold winter nights.   In case you don’t know what cassava is, let’s just say you need it in your life!  Cassava is a root vegetable just like the potato only the texture is firmer. You can learn to cook this delicious dish ideal for lunch, brunch or dinner!

  • You’ll be provided with a recipe, ingredient list and be ready to cook the meal live with Esha on Zoom.
  • Date: Sunday Nov 22, 2020 at 1:30 pm EST
