If you're looking for a special treat for the foodie in your life, come along to this tasting experience and discover the cuisine of the island of Réunion.

The food of Réunion is simple and unfussy, but its flavours make it sing. Experience the fragrant tang of the kaffir lime, the bright warmth of a creole cari and the heat and zing of rougail.

The evening will start with an apéritif créole (that will include a complimentary fragrant cocktail called “Rhum Arrangé” and spicy canapés), followed by an exotic starter, a traditional “cari” served with rice, beans and rougail, a very exotic dessert and a café gourmand with a mignardise to finish off.

You'll be guided through the experience by an expert, who'll give you some insight into the history and culture of these delicious dishes. You'll leave warmed by the amazing food you've enjoyed, as well as full of newfound knowledge to help broaden your culinary horizons.

Food Tasting Experience: A Taste of Reunion Island location
Your host

My passion for cooking comes from my childhood. I was born on the island of Réunion, a small French colony off the coast of Madagascar. Although my parents moved to France when I was very small, the spirit of the island was very much alive in our home, and especially in our kitchen.

I love introducing a touch of sunshine into my cooking and often add tropical flavours from Réunion to my desserts to give a vibrant twist to the elegant French classics. All the recipes used at Gourmandises Académie are my own, and each one has been developed with time and a lot of love. I’m so happy to have been recognised with three stars in the prestigious Great Taste Awards.

I am excited to share some of these recipes with you and look forward to welcoming you into my home as a student of the Gourmandises Académie.
