Cooking Class: Fresh and Healthy Southern Fare
Chef Tracy puts a modern, healthy spin on traditional Southern comfort food in this creative cooking class. Master new culinary techniques and source fresh, nutritious ingredients as you prepare wholesome versions of old favorites.
Your four course dinner begins with Cajun soup, a lightened-up twist on gumbo with shrimp, green bell peppers, green onions, tomato juice and rice. From there, learn to prepare mushroom caviar with cherry tomatoes and succulent pork tenderloin with purple potatoes and turnips. For dessert, whip up an airy but indulgent chocolate mousse.

I really enjoyed this class and had fun making delicious gumbo! Chef Tracy took time to give us tips on the substitutes that could be used for ingredients in the recipe as well as the history behind gumbo.

Food was good but class was lacking. Connection was bad and couldn’t hear anything about the recipes or what was going on. Printed recipes are solid though!
