ANGUILLA, BWI – Cap Juluca, the idyllic resort in the British West Indies, delivers luxurious all beachfront Moorish-inspired accommodations, white silky sand, sparkling waters, colorful Caribbean flora, incredible sunsets and world-class service. Since it’s always been a destination for food and wine enthusiasts, with the arrival of globally experienced Chef Juan Bochenski and his newly created menus for Cap Juluca’s dining venues, travelers have even more delightful culinary experiences to look forward to. And, the resort has added new, exciting food-centered activities to its weekly line-up.
Here’s what’s new and cooking:
Spice It Up at Cap Juluca
Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
A small group of guests can participate in an interactive spice experience at Spice restaurant led by Chef Bochenski. The chef believes strongly in the magic of spices in the kitchen, so he’ll talk about Caribbean spices – their history, flavors and how they grow. Participants will smell and taste an array of aromatic spices and sample some spicy dishes. Then, they’ll concoct their own recipe and custom spice blend, which will be stored in a tin to take home, along with chef recommendations for use. Another souvenir from the session is three housemade spice blends in four ounce tins complete with recipes – compliments of the chef.
$50 per person for the Spice It Up at Cap Juluca Session
Catch-of-the-Day
Offered daily through August
Fishing enthusiasts can arrange to bring their prize local catch-of-the-day Anguillian fish from their early morning island fishing trip back to Chef Bochenski’s kitchen. He’ll prepare their foraged catch for them to enjoy for dinner at Pimms, along with a locally inspired accompaniment.
