Course Details

Jamaican patties, a colonial Caribbean take on the English Cornish pasty, have evolved from a regional speciality to a snack beloved around the world. With their flaky, golden, turmeric-tinted pastry and spicy, savoury beef filling with hints of thyme and scotch bonnet pepper they are certainly a fixture of Toronto’s global palate.

(Vegetarian filling available on request). Another popular Caribbean treat is the Trinidadian coconut tart, an empanada-style turnover with a sweet coconut filling infused with warm island spices like nutmeg. Together, they are a delicious symbols of the international Caribbean diaspora.

In this fun, hands-on class Chef Avery Billy will walk you through all the steps to make both these tropical treats, from making the dough and fillings, to shaping and baking the pies.

Participants will learn a bit of history of these dishes, tips on sourcing ingredients, snack on freshly baked treats in class, and get to take home samples of both dishes.

The Dep is a unique food venue that hosts an eclectic range of food events.

Founded in 2011 by Len Senater, The Dep is an ongoing, evolving experiment, prototype and proof-of-concept exploring food’s role in building community, creating opportunity and celebrating diversity. It has evolved over the years into a kind of convivial urban food hub where food producers, creators and consumers can connect and explore new food ideas in a fun, informal setting.

To find out more about The Dep, you can check out what others have written (like Spacing Magazine or Yonge Street Media), read some customer reviews (4.6 out of 5 stars!), or dig into my own slightly ranty manifesto.

In early 2016, the Dep extended an invitation to newly-arrived Syrian refugees who found themselves stuck in hotels for many weeks, with no access to kitchens to cook for themselves or their families.

This blossomed into the wildly successful Newcomer Kitchen, a non-profit social enterprise that invites newcomer women to prepare and sell meals in a fun, social setting, while earning revenue through dignified, meaningful work.
