Holland America Line to offer live onboard cooking shows
Holland America Line will once again host live cooking shows as part of its onboard culinary program.
The demonstrations will be hosted by a ship’s executive chef and cruise and travel director and will take place fleetwide.
They take place at least twice per seven-day sailing and more often on longer itineraries.
The live cooking shows will focus on regional specialties and locally sourced seafood from the cruise line’s Global Fresh Fish Program.
Guests can learn cooking techniques and the culinary history of the region, with the opportunity to taste the dishes in the dining room that evening.
Guests also will be able to take a copy of the recipes home.
Dishes prepared during the live shows will include:
Alaska: barbecue salmon bowl; honey sriracha salmon bowl.
