Malliouhana Unveils New Guest Chef Series

Malliouhana, Auberge Resorts Collection has announced the debut of “Flavors of Malliouhana,” a curated series of residencies and collaborations with chefs that will celebrate Anguilla’s gastronomic traditions. Part of Auberge Resorts Collection’s "Taste of Auberge," a new culinary journey bringing together exclusive chef collaborations and restaurant pop-ups at select properties throughout 2022, the year-long initiative will commence in March and include new menus, intimate cooking classes and epicurean events. Each partnership will infuse the guest chef’s expertise utilizing the flavors of the local culture, while also benefiting the local community. New York-based chef, author and television personality JJ Johnson will be the series’ first presenting chef, followed by restaurateur and chef Nina Compton, along with additional chef talents later in the year.

Known for his barrier-breaking cuisine that is illuminated by the Caribbean flavors, Chef Johnson will host an immersive, month-long culinary residency at Malliouhana, starting March 11, 2022, showcasing his signature cooking style, combining culturally relevant and locally sourced ingredients with a global point of view.

The weekend events will begin with a Beachside Bonfire Party on the resort’s beachfront. Hosted by Chef Johnson, the interactive evening will have live cooking demonstrations using local produce and fresh seafood. The celebrations continue the following day with a Beach Party at the resort’s beach shack, Leon’s on Meads Bay, for yakitori-style small bites, tropical drinks and ocean views. A portion of the proceeds from Saturday’s Beach Party will be donated to Anguilla Community Foundation, an organization that has been serving the island since 1999 and is committed to improving the quality of life in Anguilla. On the final day, guests will enjoy a Southern Soulful Brunch with live musical performances, Caribbean-infused brunch cocktails and signature Chef JJ Johnson dishes, such as chicken and waffles and his BBQ shrimp and grits. To commemorate this culinary residency, Malliouhana’s dining outlets will also serve exclusive custom menu creations from Chef Johnson through April 8, 2022.

Each of the “Flavors of Malliouhana” guest chefs will work closely with Anguilla’s local purveyors to create new menu items exclusive to the intimate oceanfront resort and its culinary program.

Malliouhana, Auberge Resorts Collection will host Chef JJ Johnson March 11-April 8, 2022 for the inaugural partnership of “Flavors of Malliouhana,” besides Chef Nina Compton in July. Dates for the additional chefs in the series will be announced in the coming months.
