    Amazing Time At Nicoles Table
    first of all i have to say Nicole was fabulous and made us feel very welcome in here own home, the views were spectacular, we did cooking with rum, I didn't realise how nice the food was going to be, the whole experience was great, we all got stuck right in, and the best part we got to eat it all. we also got to taste all different rums that was a laugh as I'm not a good drinker but actually learnt a lot. if anyone is thinking of doing this I would 100 percent recommend amazing hospitality great food and spectacular views
    I think we know who you are although we can't tell by your name. Adam is still chuckling and saying that you were a champ despite the fact that rum wasn't your thing. That said, we deeply appreciate the review and 100% recommendation and hope to see you again. Please feel free to visit NicolesTable.com for more recipes or if you need to contact us about anything. Thank you and all the best until we see you again! Nicole and Adam

    Top Notch!
    What a great experience! We went on a cruise to get away from cooking … and cleaning … and, what did we do? We went to Nicole’s Kitchen and took an incredible three hour cooking class from ‘Nix’ … with lots of conversation with Adam as well. Excellent pre-experience information (although the cab ride with not $12 - $15, but $20). We got back to the ship with 8 minutes to spare. Lots of FUN! Isn’t that what we want?! Excellent presentation and the final result was great. We will be joining a ZOOM cooking class with Nicole in the near future. Big feature - Nicole did the cleanup?!
    Thank you for the "Top Notch!" review Robert! We loved having you here and will love it if you join us in the cooking class. Looking forward to cooking with you again! Nicole and Adam

    Cooking with Rum, Nicola and Adma are amazing!
    An absolute must do if you're visiting Antigua! You will have a wonderful time learning all about rum and actually cooking with it. Nicola and Adam are amazing hosts. Thank you so much for a fab day.
    Hey Yousif! Thank you for the review, and you're welcome for having a "fab day". Please look us up next time you are on the island. Thank you! Nicole and Adam

    Nicole’s Table made my birthday!
    This was the highlight of my boyfriend and I’s Antigua trip. Nicole and Adam’s home is beautiful and inspirational. The view was stunning. They were inviting and accommodating. They opted to hold the class even though my boyfriend and I were the only students for the day(they were teaching the same class the next day but we had to leave for NY). We shared laughs and traded stories about our lives. I learned a lot about rum during Adam’s rum tasting and Nicole’s recipes were to die for. Nicole sent us off with slices of rum cake which I shared with family in New York and I’m getting requests to make it for Christmas! The sweet potato soup was heavenly and will be on the menu at least once a week. We are not big drinkers but the rum punch was so delicious we (over)indulged. We will come back to Antigua and take ALL of the classes!
    Thank you for the review Aniyah! It was great having you and Colin do the class with us and we hope that we get a chance to see the two of you again. Please visit NicolesTable.com for more recipes, to sign up for our Zoom class, or to contact us about the recipes. Wishing you the best for the new year! Nicole and Adam

    Nicole's Jerk Chicken
    We had a wonderful time at Nicole's. Not only did we learn about making the salsa and jerk seasoning but also had a great time spending time with Nicole in her beautiful home. She made us feel welcome from the outset and enjoyed a a great meal featuring all fresh ingredients that we blended together for a delicious taste. Thanks Nicole! Andy
    Glad to hear that you had a great time!! Would love to have you come again or join us in our Zoom classes. You can reach us, or find out about the classes, via NicolesTable.com. Hope to see you again! Nicole and Adam

    Must do in Antigua!
    This was one of the best cruise excursions we did st our stop to Antigua! Nicole was professional and friendly welcoming us and 6 other people into her home to help cook a lunch. The food was excellent. Her daughter ( her helper ) was very nice and her husband who did the rum tasting was very knowledgeable!! Also she was very accommodating with the time we had to be back on board our cruise ship!! Definitely will do a repeat if we make it back to Antigua!!
    Wow! Thank you for the review and thank you for giving Emily a boost. We hope you do repeat our tour again. We get a lot of repeat guests these days and we love seeing people again. If you still want to do our classes, go to NicolesTable.com and check out our Zoom class. Hope to see you again! Nicole and Adam

    Great hands-on Caribbean class
    When I travel I love to experience the local cuisine. Nicole's Table added another dimension to this experience. Participating in a fun hands-on cooking class gave me a better appreciation of Caribbean cooking and the ability to take it home to relive it. The class was fun, well organized and the setting overlooking St. Johns was spectacular. To top it off, an informative rum sampling mixed with good humor and local history makes Nicloe's Table a must do for anyone wanting to experience more of the Caribbean.
    Thank you for the review! I must say, Adam got a good laugh when he saw your name. The Nonquits were native to Tiverton, RI so he knows who you are, Clay. Thank you for coming and you need to come again. If you are interested in more cooking, check out our Zoom classes the last Saturday of every month. You can find out more on NicolesTable.com.

    Brightened up a rainy day
    Nicole and her assistant were warm, welcoming and approachable. The group was fun and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys food, camaraderie, and getting a peek into the lives of people who actually live in the place you are visiting. Did I mention that Nicole's home is beautiful?

We had a great time and learned a lot. Chef Nicole was a charming hostess who made sure everyone had a good time helping her prepare a Caribbean feast. The venue was very special, with beautiful grounds and a spectacular view.

From the beginning, reserving this outing, Nicole's husband was extremely helpful with gathering information about getting a taxi to and from their home, which is up on a hill with a gorgeous view of the landscape and water. We were six in the class, and one had already taken Nicole's classes twice before, which is high recommendation in itself. With Nicole's very easygoing leadership, we measured, mixed, poured, and fried. Then while things were taken in and out of the oven, pureed, and prepared for presentation, Adam treated us to a tasting of six Caribbean rums. Our lunch was sumptuous and delicious. We ate on the huge veranda, got to know one another a little better, and enjoyed the views. Both Nicole and Adam are wonderful hosts and teachers, very easygoing. High marks for every aspect of this class.

Chef Nicole and her husband ,Adam, welcomed us into their home and treated us like members of their family. Our group of 18 worked as a team preparing the various pats of a large meal. We made jerk chicken, beans and rice, coconut chips, fried plantain, and coconut cream tarts. When preparation was finished, group members visited freely with each other, perhaps aided by the wonderful rum punch. Soon we were all sitting around large tables enjoying the fruits of our labor. The entire experience was so goo we would consider doing it again when we are in Antigua!

We absolutely loved everything about the cooking class with Nicole. It was a wonderful mix of hands on cooking, relaxing, and meeting new people. Her home is a beautiful setting for a cooking class! We participated in the "All About Jerk" class and the meal was amazing. I am a vegetarian and they were very accommodating with jerk tofu instead of chicken for me. We were so full that we couldn't eat dinner that evening! Thank you all SO, SO much for hosting us. Nicole, you have wonderful recipes. Adam, thank you for your quick email responses. Last but not least, we LOVE Petal!

Hey! Thanks for the review and thanks for giving Petal some recognition. She helps a lot by taking things off of me that would make the class less enjoyable if I had to do the work while running the class. Petal is fantastic. Give the recipes a try at home and contact us if you have any questions. You can get us here, on Facebook under "NicolesTable.com" or via our website with the same name.

Nicole & Adam created a relaxing and educational experience in their home learning to cook Caribbean food. Their warm hospitality and stunning views made the experience even more special. I’d highly recommend this for anyone visiting Antigua who wants to experience something authentic and pick up some skills along the way.
Thanks Nicole and Adam. I’ll be sure to check out another class next time!

I highly recommend visiting Nicole's Table if you're going to be in Antigua. It's a nice way to spend some time in a tranquil location with great views, to learn, and to enjoy cooking and eating good food.

Nicole and Adam really make you feel at home when you walk into their home. When I arrived at Nicole's Table, Nicole greeted me with a big warm welcome. I felt like I was a nephew that she hadn't seen in a long time, and from that greeting alone, I knew it was going to be a great afternoon with great vibes and great food. I arrived a little early, and while Nicole was taking care of a few things, I sat with Adam on their vibesy veranda and had a nice chat about all things life.

I enjoyed the very hands-on cooking component of this experience. It feels like you're learning from and cooking with a family member that holds the family's best recipes and wants to pass the throne to you. Nicole does a great job at instilling confidence in you along the way and making sure you take enough pride in the finished product that you'll decide to make the meal again when you get back home. We made a great meal and got to enjoy it while relaxing, being in conversation, and overlooking some great Caribbean views. It's an experience you really have to feel and remember in your heart.

On a recent visit to Antigua while on a cruise, my wife and I came across this option while looking for something fun and different to do while in port. We love cooking and enjoying and learning about local flavors so this seemed to be a great fit. We're glad we did. It was a busy day in port with 6 ships in that day, so to get to go somewhere away from the crowds with only 8 other guests turned out to be a wonderful added bonus,.

The classes are taught at Nicole and Adams beautiful home high on a hill overlooking the port and Caribbean Sea below. We spent several hours meeting new friends, enjoying Nicole's special rum punch and learning about the local flavors and how to prepare them. Nicole and Adam were very warm and welcoming and everyone was involved with the prep and cooking process of all of the wonderful, fresh foods we prepared. At the end we all sat down and enjoyed a family-style feast on their patio enjoying the stunning views and wonderful food.

This was the best excursion we experienced the entire week on our trip and look forward to returning to Antigua to stay a little longer and attend another class at Nicole's Table. If you are staying on the island or just in for a day and looking for something fun and different, we highly recommend visiting and enjoying a class.

Nicole and her family are so fun to be with, and the food we made was absolutely delicious. We got to enjoy all of this on Nicole’s spectacular porch overlooking the island and bay. We loved every minute of this and would recommend that anyone visiting Antigua take this opportunity for a fun and unique experience on the island. Thank you, Nicole!

I had been to Antigua before but I had never tried a cooking class. A group of six from our cruise spent several hours at Nicoles home preparing a multi course meal. Her home is a beautiful place situated with a view of some of the island and the sea. Nicole directed all our chopping and blending and provided her own recipe rum and punch to round out the visit. There was more to the recipes than expected but she provided detailed handouts to take home with us. After cooking we sat back and enjoyed the food, conversation, rum, and view.

My 19 year old son and I had a week's holiday in Antigua and decided to do a Caribbean cookery course as part of that. Having read a favourable review of Nicole's Table in the Sunday Times, we went ahead and booked and we were so glad we did - we loved every minute of it!
Nicole welcomed us to her beautiful home in the hills and she was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. Our group of 6 helped with food prep whilst sipping a delicious rum punch and we then sat outside on the porch (with stunning views) to enjoy it together. It was a wonderful day and one of the highlights of our week. Highly recommend!
