Tropical Escape: Caribbean Jerk Chicken Feast
Dying to escape the summer heat to somewhere remote and beautiful? Why not join our Caribbean Feast and feel yourself transported to one of the islands in the Caribbean? To kick off our party properly, we start by mixing a Ginger Rum Punch and toasting for a delightful meal ahead!

You will learn basic knife skills, how to make an authentic jerk spice mix and how to perfectly pan-sear the chicken on a pan! You will also make fragrant coconut rice, refreshing mango salsa, and perfectly crispy tostones - also known as twice fried green plantains - to accompany your meal. Once you have created your masterpiece, you will then plate, garnish and devour your creations with your fellow foodies joining you for this delicious virtual cooking party! You will gain insight on how to source fresh, seasonal ingredients and specialty spices in order to recreate the perfect Caribbean Feast at home.

Born under the sun-drenched skies of Florida, Chef Scott has always had a passion for flavor,family, and the art of bringing people together through food. Though Florida was home for the first few years of life, it was in New York—amid the bustle of multicultural neighborhoods and iconic delis—where Chef Scott was raised and first exposed to the diversity and vibrancy ofworld cuisine. Inspired by family traditions and the melting pot of the New York culinary scene, He soon set sights on the professional kitchen. That dream led westward to California, where he trained under acclaimed chefs and refined their technique in some of the state’s most innovative kitchens. In 2018 Chef Scott launched his own culinary brand— quickly earning a loyal following and critical acclaim. Now, after years of success in California, Chef Scott is coming full circle—returning to Florida to bring his culinary vision back to where it all began. Coastal Vibes Culinary is excited to reconnect with local roots while sharing a menu that tells a story—one plate at a time.
