Meet Gabbi

Gabbi’s love for food started as a child, sneaking bites and playing restaurant with her brother, and by third grade, she knew she wanted to be a chef. With over 13 years of experience in both local and international kitchens, she has honed her skills in savory dishes and pastry, blending her Bahamian heritage with a love for food fusion. Now a chef and teacher, Gabbi shares her passion for authentic Bahamian flavors, welcoming guests to explore the rich culture and bold tastes of the Bahamas in her immersive baking classes at home.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (1-4 guests) PRIVATE BAHAMIAN BAKING CLASS: If you’re eager to explore the rich flavors of Bahamian baking, this hands-on class is perfect for you! Meet Gabbi at her home or if you choose the optional transport add-on, Gabbi will personally pick you up from your resort or vacation rental. Gabbi welcomes you into her small, cozy home for an authentic Nassau culinary experience. After a warm introduction and an engaging conversation about Bahamian food culture and history, you’ll dive into baking with Gabbi’s expert guidance. Learn essential techniques like kneading dough and crafting flaky pastry as you prepare three delicious breads - one savory and two sweet. You’ll master the art of making Bahamian twists or pineapple duff, coconut bread, and a crisp, flaky hot patty filled with curried chicken, beef, or vegetables. While you’ll make the crust from scratch, the savory fillings will be pre-prepared, as they require cooling before use. To complement your baking experience, enjoy a refreshing Sky Juice cocktail, a local favorite made with coconut water and gin. If you opt for the alcohol add-on, Gabbi also offers beer or wine to enhance the experience. At the end of your class, take home cherished recipes, a local food gift, and unforgettable memories of Bahamian hospitality. Gabbi happily accommodates dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free options. Gabbi's house is not air-conditioned but it stays pretty cool with a fan.

Notes: Gabbi is only available to host on Sundays and Tuesdays.
