Crave-Worthy, Cultural Cooking Lessons To kick-off celebrations, FIU-Biscayne Bay Dining partnered with Campus Life for a Teaching Kitchen in its newly renovated facility. They featured Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Ginger and Brown Sugar-Candied Sweet Potatoes – recipes from Sweet Home Café at the Museum of African American History and Culture. The event started with Chef Elliot and R.D. Gabi Alfonso showing students how to make the rub for the chicken. Proper cooking techniques were then demonstrated on an induction burner, pre-cooking several chicken thighs to sample. Sauces were also concocted for the sweet potatoes, with happy participants trying everything that they just learned to cook.
