Join our zero-waste cooking classes

Delve into the local market

First things first. In order to cook something, you shall have all the ingredients ready. Before entering the kitchen and getting all hands on deck, our skilled executive chef will take you to the beach in front of the hotel, where you’ll get to meet local St. Barts fishermen and see their fresh catch of the day.

There, you’ll be able to hand-pick your dish’s central piece, supporting the island’s market while you are at it. Together with the talented team of our renewed Caribbean-Mediterranean restaurant, Amis St. Barth, guests can get the hottest ingredients right from the source, and learn a bit more about how to reduce their impact when shopping. After all, it’s a well-known fact that the best way to be responsible consumers is by going local.

What’s cooking, good-looking?

It’s showtime!  Once in the kitchen, Chef Czaplicki and his crew will teach you all their secrets when it comes to zero-waste cooking. You’ll be standing right where the action is happening, and learning how to apply environmental-friendly techniques to your dishes, using every single bit of food available – from making the most out of the pit and the peel to using compost for juices, dressing, and sauces, and even preparing tarama from the fish’s roe. 

The result will be a delicious, completely sustainable meal, where the original product is used in its entirety.

Our goal when creating this program was to inspire people, to show how to make a tasteful dish responsibly and ethically. We want to spread the word about the benefits of consuming locally and provide tools for everyone to make the most out of the ingredients they have. All of this, of course, with the signature touch of refinement that accompanies every single one of our carefully curated experiences.
