Cooking Class: Cajun Cuisine for Beginners
Explore Cajun comfort foods in this immersive cooking class led by Chef Buddy.
Begin by chopping green peppers, onions, celery and roasted tomatoes to create a classic vegetable medley known as maque choux, enhanced with Creole seasoning for a touch of spice. Next, prepare pastalaya, a Cajun twist on jambalaya featuring penne pasta in a creamy sauce, tossed with andouille sausage and fresh Gulf shrimp for a hearty main. On the side, toast French bread and top it with butter, roasted garlic, thyme and rosemary. Finish with a decadent bananas foster, drizzled with spiced rum and banana liqueur and served over silky vanilla ice cream. Book your cooking class today!
