CROSSING OVER is a four-week cooking course 1 day a week Saturday 4.00pm-5.30pm and teaches you to create delicious and healthy vegetarian dishes.

The dishes are a fusion of Eastern, Western and Caribbean styles using ingredients easily available in Jamaica, including information from Ayurveda.

The classes are approximately 1 ½ hours long with a maximum of four persons per class (larger groups can be formed).

In each class, there is a demonstration of a main dish, side dish and raw salad except in the case of a one-pot meal, which would only include a raw salad. Those who prefer hands on may be assistant chef for a day. At the end of the class, the participants eat the meal.

The importance of this is the participants see the correct method of preparing the meal, how the meal should look when it is finished and most important: how it should taste.
