New Orleans’ French Quarter is known for its amazing food, and this Cajun and Creole cooking class centered in the French Quarter provides you with the tips you need to be able to make three dishes in your own kitchen. This intimate, small-group experience means you get quality time with your group as you make gumbo, etouffee, and bananas foster all from scratch.
You’ll begin the class by learning the best kept secrets for authentic New Orleans cooking. We begin by discovering the importance of the Cajun Holy Trinity, and start cutting and prepping to make the best New Orleans cuisine you’ve ever tasted.
Once the Cajun Holy Trinity is all chopped, we will take a break and get our first glass of wine. Mise en place (everything in its place), we start the Dark Roux for the gumbo. After the gumbo, we start the light Roux for the Shrimp Etouffee. After properly plating your meal, it's time to dine.
The last part of the class, (and possibly your favorite) will include teaching you how to make Bananas Foster. Yum! We’ll show you a fool-proof way to make this dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family.
