Down on the Bayou-Creole featuring Shrimp Etouffe, Gumbo & More

NOTE: This class was moved from Sat 5/29. 

Brimming with tradition, culture and flavor, Cajun and Creole cooking is best known by the dishes found in the south. Tonight, experienced culinary instructor and Chef LaDonna Johnson takes us down-home on the bayou with a rich, satisfying dinner menu featuring classic southern recipes like Gumbo, Shrimp Etouffee and more.

Chef LaDonna is passionate about teaching folks to cook and one of her specialties is southern cuisine, so you’re in for a special treat tonight. Throughout class, she will teach essential culinary techniques, including basic knife skills, sauce-making, how to use traditional Cajun seasonings to their fullest, mastering a roux and much more.

Of course, you’ll taste everything as Chef LaDonna works her way through tonight's fabulous southern menu that includes Cajun classics like Shrimp Etouffee, a savory Gumbo and a fabulous southern dessert that's sooo good! You’ll get to help with some of the cooking activities, and you'll leave with the recipes so you can re-create these gems at home. Ayee!
