Cooking Class: Classic Louisiana Feast

5 reviews

Premium

Get swept away by the flavors of the bayou in this Southern-themed, in-person cooking class. With guidance from Chef Jerry, you'll learn to create an authentic Louisiana meal with all the trimmings. Boil up some shrimp and crab claws and concoct a zesty cocktail sauce to serve them with. Then, prepare hush puppy-like boudin balls filled with crab, shrimp and tender rice. Create a traditional jambalaya loaded with chicken and sausage and seasoned in true Cajun style. And for an authentic Louisiana dessert, fry some classic beignets to crisp, sweet perfection.

We had a great time with Chef Jerry! Our kitchen set up was small and poorly stocked but Jerry came super prepared and was unphased navigating the tiny space. He is an experienced chef and incredibly knowledgeable about core cooking techniques. He explains each step clearly as you go making it easy and educational. And obviously the food is incredible too. His recipes use simple ingredients but the flavors are unreal. I highly recommend booking a class with Jerry. I can’t wait to recreate what we learned for friends!

Chef Jerry showed me how to make seafood boudin balls with shrimp and crawfish. He clearly demonstrated each step of the process. The homemade sauce was a simple sauce of mayo, sriracha and lemon juice but added a nice tang to the final dish. The boudin balls turned out a perfect golden brown and crispy when finished. He shared this was a very popular dish that he serves at festivals.
