Jamaican Cuisine With Jackie Thomas - Thursday, March 18, 2021, 6 - 7:30 PM
Winooski's own Jackie Thomas will be introducing participants to the flavors and cuisine of Jamaica. Join Jackie for a virtual cooking demo as she guides participants through the steps of preparing Jamaica's national dish - ackee and salted codfish served with fried Johnny Cakes. Learn all about ackee (Akye-fufo), a fruit native to West Africa, and its traditional pairing with codfish that results in a uniquely original meal.
