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.

I liked the class, but wish we had recipes to take with us. FOr e.g., I'd like to know what the ingredients were for the duck and lamb jerk fillings for those tacos. It was more like Chef was making us a meal (which was delicious) as opposed to us learning how to make it.

Epic.. a really great experience today with chef Washington. He brought it into a whole personal experience with friends, just cooking together. We were a team making some outstanding Mediterranean food. I would highly recommend this and hope to do it again soon! The only downfall wasn’t the chef or anything to do with him. It was the fact that I didn’t know a location of where it would take place until after I paid. Then it turned out being at our house, with friends. Which was fine and fun, but unexpected, And this was an impromptu booking. We were expecting/hoping it to be in a commercial kitchen somewhere. That being said, I’d do it again in our own kitchen, but with more time for us to prepare.
