We’re excited Chef Gabi Odebode is back at the Culinary Center for three enlightening classes. Chef Gabi specializes in African heritage staple dishes that highlight the culinary traditions and contributions of people of African descent from all over the world. In tonight’s class, she’ll share dishes for a true Ghanaian experience with Egg Stew paired with Sweet Plantains, and a popular Ghanaian dish known as Waakye—Black Eyed Peas and Rice with Chicken Stew. She’ll finish with a Ghanaian sweet treat known as Bofrot, a  donut delicious for breakfast or snacking. This menu will be paired with wine.

Come and share a wonderful culinary experience with Chef Gabi Odebode as she prepares a Caribbean menu with its melting pot of flavors. The cuisine is bright with a colorful mix of spicy, full-flavored foods boasting aromatic spices, marinades, fruit-based sauces and chiles. Chef Gabi will demonstrate making Sautéed Jamaican Spinach Callaloo, and Curry and Potatoes Chicken and Rice with Sweet Plantains. And for dessert, Coconut Cupcakes. This menu will be paired with wine and beer. 

Join Chef Gabi Odebode for an exciting menu featuring some of the most diverse and flavorful cuisines in the world. The cuisines of Morocco and South Africa are robust and colorful with bold spices, herbs, and aromatics indicative of their rich historic influences and geography. Chef Gabi will prepare Chakalaka, a dish that originates from South Africa and is a staple throughout the country. Chicken Tagine is a traditional Moroccan dish of chicken braised with spices, garlic, onion, olives, and preserved lemons, traditionally cooked in a tagine (a shallow clay vessel with a cone-shaped lid), but a cast-iron braiser, Dutch oven, or heavy covered skillet will work too. This delicious dish will be served over a bed of Moroccan Couscous. This menu will be paired with wine.
