Entrée by Chef Oji Jaja

Having cooked for the likes of former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama on her visit to “Eatonville” Restaurant in Washington, DC; the Governor General of Jamaica and Jamaican prime ministers; along with one-of-a-kind culinary experiences for celebrities Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Drake, Jaja is known for his culinary excellence. Training at the Ritz-Carlton has provided a foundation of attention to detail and the unique ability to elevate simple ingredients to masterpieces, and has landed him in exclusive kitchens worldwide. Chef Oji Jaja is the executive culinary artiste and owner of Ashebre, one of the island’s most sought-after catering companies.

Terre et Mer: Oyster mushroom filled chicken roulade accompanied by pan-seared salmon atop a decadent saffron orzo, sautéed seasonal vegetables and beurre rouge.

Paired with Bogle Vineyard Pinot Noir: Bright red raspberries and cherries sparkle both in the glass and in the aromatics of this lovely and elegant red wine. The full, yet subtle entry leads to flavours of ripe blackberry, cherry preserves and touches of cloves and anise. Velvety and full of finesse from barrel aging, the wines finishes with medium tannis and touches of brown sugar and allspice.
