Nicole's Table - Coordinating Curry
Description
It is believed that curry came to the Caribbean with indentured servants after slavery was abolished. The influence of curry on Caribbean cuisine is huge. Each island has their own special variation of spices that they call "curry". Many debates have been held in kitchens as to which island has the best curry… But all agree that curry and roti is one of those comfort foods that people crave after being off island for a while. Nicole explores all the many faces of curry while she creates a meal that fuses a little of the old styles with newer Western flavors. Visitors will learn about the history of curry, its health value, and short cuts that can be used to create various curry based meals. The goal will be to make it easy for visitors to go home and cook the same menu whenever they wish. Take this class not just to explore new flavours, but to enjoy the experience of cooking with new friends in a West Indian home with great view of the Caribbean Sea!

Our visit to Nicole’s Table was one of the absolute highlights of our cruise. We chose the Coordinating Curry Class, and it turned out to be so much more than a cooking lesson — it felt like spending the afternoon in the home of friends who genuinely love sharing their culture, food, and stories. We joined another family and from the moment we arrived, Nicole made us feel completely welcome. She has a warm, engaging personality and a natural way of teaching that makes every step fun and approachable, even if you’re not an experienced cook (like me). The class was hands‑on, relaxed, and filled with great conversations. We learned how to build flavors from scratch, use local ingredients, and create curries that were layered, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. The best part was enjoying everything we made together while looking out over the beautiful views from her home. It was the best excursion of our cruise and gave us a chance to connect with the island in a meaningful way. If you’re visiting Antigua and want something memorable, personal, and genuinely flavorful, Nicole’s Table is a must. This was easily one of our favorite experiences of the entire trip, and we’d do it again in a heartbeat. I also want to cook more and plan to attend some of her zoom classes throughout the year.
Wow! We loved this review and recommendation. Thank you! The fact that our cooking class was your favorite experience of your entire trip means a lot to us. Please look us up again when you are next on Antigua, or just reach out to us via NicolesTable.com to do a Zoom class. Our online classes are full of good information and laughter too! Until we cook together again... Nicole and Adam
This was a great experience: wonderful teacher (patient, funny, warm and welcoming), beautiful setting, great food, and fun company. I'm so glad we did this, and would definitely come back for another lesson next time!

Nicole was amazing! She was funny and sweet and knowledgeable. We were so excited to spend the day with her learning how to cook curry chicken. Her house was amazing and so was her husband Adam. After we were done cooking we got to sit on her amazing patio with a breathtaking view of Antigua and enjoy the meal we (myself and my husband) had just prepared alongside with Nicole and her husband. If you ever plan to go to Antigua, go check her out. It is well worth the experience.

Absolutely amazing. Nicole was wonderful as a host. She has a great knowledge of the island and is a friend to all. We did the curry class and learned much about the different types of curry and their variations. The rum punch is very beneficial for one’s health. It was a great day.
Thank you for the review David. We loved having you and your better half here, and hope that we someday get to see Montana. Loved the reference to the rum punch being "beneficial for one's health". That's perfect! Please reach out if you have questions. If you want the rum punch recipe, just visit NicolesTable.com and enter "rum punch" in the search bar. We hope to see you again in the future!

Coordinating curry with Nicole was a highlight of our visit. The menu was an exquisite combination of spicy, savoury and sweet. Nicole was entertaining and her home has a welcoming terrace with a spectacular view! Enjoying our meal al fresca was delightful!
