Cooking Class: The Art of Southern Cooking Techniques
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.

My friend & I had a really great time eating delicious tacos and socializing with the other guests. It is important to know that most of the items on the menu are prepared beforehand and it's not as hands-on as most would expect. That was no issue with me. It was great helping out where I could & being served taco after taco. Looking forward to next class that I attend.
