Meet Elsy
My name is Elsy, and I have been teaching Haitian culinary classes in Portland for eight years. Through my classes, I teach Oregonians how to use simple, fresh ingredients to amplify the flavors in their dishes.
“Simpler Tastes Better” is my motto.
For this Haitian Thanksgiving Experience, you and I will do exactly that. We’ll cook together, learn together, have plenty of fun, and then sit down with our guests to enjoy the feast we created.
