Cooking Class: The Art of Southern Cooking Techniques

Transport yourself to the South in this immersive cooking class led by Chef Washington.


You'll begin by chopping onions and peppers to combine with kidney beans, pork sausage and rice for a savory appetizer to start the meal. Next, simmer shrimp, crab, chicken and rice flavored with thyme and cayenne pepper to make a seafood gumbo that is bursting with flavor. Whip up a traditional Cajun fry mix to coat catfish and oysters to fry until golden brown and crispy. Caramelize bananas with butter and brown sugar and top with dark rum and banana liqueur to create sweet banana fosters for dessert. Revel in your newfound culinary skills as you enjoy your Southern feast in this engaging cooking class.
