Hawaii — where the land meets the sea w/ Jolene (ENG)
Sat Sep 19, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM
Timezone : Europe/Brussels
Oxalis - Ecole de cuisine végétale ASBL, Chaussée de Wavre, Auderghem, Belgique
Hawaii is abundance made visible — volcanic soil, tropical warmth, and the vast Pacific all folding into a cuisine unlike anywhere else on earth. It is a place where Polynesian roots meet Japanese precision and the spirit of aloha turns every meal into an act of generosity. In this workshop we tap into that energy: fresh, vivid food that feels like a long exhale by the ocean. Expect bold flavours, a little fire, and the kind of cooking that reminds you why food is joy.
On the menu:
- Ahi Tacos – Watermelon 'tuna' marinated to perfection, wrapped in crispy deep-fried rice paper and seaweed — a playful, show-stopping bite that captures the spirit of Hawaii's love for the sea without a single fish in sight.
- BBQ Platter – A generous, smoky spread built around mushroom 'ribs' slow-cooked until deeply caramelised, alongside grilled pineapple and charred sweetcorn — island sunshine on a plate.
An immersive, flavour-driven afternoon for curious cooks and lovers of sun-drenched, soulful food.
This cooking class will be given in English by Jolene.
Jolene is currently writing Taste of Letting Go — a hybrid vegan cookbook and travel memoir tracing one woman's journey from corporate burnout to emotional healing through travel, food, and self-inquiry. Structured across 34 destinations, each chapter weaves together a personal story, a psychological reflection, and a plant-based recipe inspired by that place. Food is the thread that connects the entire journey — a practice of grounding, healing, and connection. In this workshop series, Jolene brings that journey to life in the kitchen, one destination at a time.
A small booklet with the recipes made during the class will be sent to each participant by email after the session.
Aprons, knives, and other utensils will be provided during the class.
