Haitian Tradition
Our Story

Recipes from home,
made for family.

Thérèze Fritay was born from a simple idea: bring the unforgettable flavors of Haiti to Minnesota. Every Saturday, Chef Thérèze opens her kitchen in Coon Rapids and prepares an authentic feast — slow-marinated griot, tender tassot, vibrant legumes, and the crisp, tangy pikliz that makes every bite sing.

Nothing here is mass-produced. Everything is hand-prepared with the seasonings, patience, and love that Haitian cooking demands.
