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.

Not a traditional cooking class but of a community meal event. Fun times none the less. Chef Washington was a cool dude.

Chef Washington and Chef Jane created an absolutely amazing Italian cooking class experience. Everything was perfectly organized and ready to go when we arrived, so we were able to jump right in and start cooking without any delay. The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and fun—it truly felt like cooking with family. Both chefs were knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the food they were teaching us to make. They shared great tips about the ingredients and techniques, which made the whole experience both educational and enjoyable. The class flowed really well, the company was great, and the environment made it easy to have fun while learning something new. Most importantly, the food turned out absolutely delicious! It was incredibly satisfying to cook such authentic dishes and then enjoy them together at the end. I would definitely book another class with Chef Washington and Chef Jane and highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on cooking class. It was a fantastic time from start to finish. 🍝👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

We had a great time with this group, especially finding out that both of our partners were Filipina. The food was really great and I had a great time getting to know the people at my table as well as cooking and learning how to make different recipes.
