Cayman Stories

The Yoga and Krug Event made for the best start to the 2020 Cayman Cookout. I enjoy living a healthy lifestyle, but that does not mean that there is never any room for indulging. The Yoga and Krug fit into that perfect balance.

There’s something magical about January in the Cayman Islands. While many of our neighbors to the north are embracing ‘Dry January’ and making resolutions to stick to a healthier diet, here in our slice of tropical paradise, the islands are celebrating Culinary Month.
 

For the internationally acclaimed chefs that travel from around the world to participate in the Cayman Cookout, there is one particularly jovial event that everyone looks forward to – Ripert, Ricard and Petanque.

Having been introduced to Don Julio’s Master Distiller, Enrique de Colsa, on day 1 of the Cayman Cookout at the “Meet the Distillers” session, we were excited to learn more about this premium brand’s journey and, of course, sample some of the finest tequila in the world.
 

Vegetables are set to be a huge food trend this year, so we were excited to see Amanda Cohen, Owner of Chef of award-winning vegetarian restaurant Dirt Candy making her debut at this year’s Cayman Cookout.

One of the signature events of the Cayman Cookout, “The Beach Bash” whisks attendees across the crystal-clear waters of the North Sound to Grand Cayman’s North Side. It was there, at Rum Point, that attendees enjoyed an epicurean adventure alongside celebrity chefs including Eric Ripert, Emeril Lagasse and Nancy Silverton, and host Al Roker, while sipping on a chilled glass of Moet Imperial.

The Ritz-Carlton’s annual Cayman Cookout brings together some of the finest chefs from around the world, and what better setting to sample their culinary delights than Grand Cayman’s spectacular Seven Mile Beach.

Chef Emeril Lagasse’s hotly anticipated “Essential BAM” was a highlight of the 11^th annual Cayman Cookout for lovers of Cajun and Creole cuisine. Hosted in the Brand Source Beach Pavilion on the soft white sands of Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach, this culinary demonstration and sampling began like most events at this epicurean extravaganza, with a cocktail!

The Ritz-Carlton’s annual Cayman Cookout is a food lover’s dream but with all of these culinary indulges it’s good to have some balance. Well, thanks to Krug Champagne we enjoyed the perfect pairing of wellness and bubbles this morning on Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach with our first event of the day, “Yoga and Krug”.

On the second day of the Cayman Cookout, we were treated to an impressive lunch at The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman’s Taikun restaurant. Our host, Joto Sake founder, Henry Sidel, explained the basics of the sake brewing process as he led us through a 4-course tasting menu with sake pairings.
