Love Jamaican cuisine? Keen to learn how to cook it in your own home? Where better to do so than in Jamaica with the King of ‘Reggae Reggae’ cuisine himself, Levi Roots. Sandals Resorts is delighted to announce the launch of an exclusive culinary-focused holiday, hosted by Levi Roots at Sandals Grande Riviera Beach & Villa Golf Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica from 6th – 13th January 2016.

This week long cooking adventure will offer foodies an exclusive opportunity to learn how to cook authentic Jamaican cuisine from scratch, including Levi’s signature dish ‘Homestyle Jerk Chicken Wings’, with the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea as a backdrop. In addition to hosting two cooking masterclasses, Levi will also accompany guests to a local food market to discover the abundance of fresh produce available on the island and perform tracks from his latest album at a private gala dinner. As well as learning how to cook delicious Jamaican fare from the UK’s leading Caribbean celebrity chef, guests booking this exclusive holiday package will also be able to relax and enjoy being looked after by their very own butler, as part of this Luxury Included (all-inclusive) culinary experience. 

With so many fantastic inclusions, this tailor-made culinary-focused holiday is incredible value for money, but guests are advised to book now as spaces are limited. See below for full details on what is included:
