Indulge in the vibrant flavors of the Big Easy with my Mardi Gras Cooking Class! Join me for a fun Fat Tuesday feast where you'll learn the secrets behind three incredibly delicious Louisiana classics:
- Cheddar biscuits
- Jambalaya
- Beignets
We’ll begin the night preparing a classic Southern comfort: cheddar biscuits. With sharp cheddar cheese, savory herbs, and a golden-brown crust, these biscuits are the ideal sidekick to any Louisiana feast.
While our biscuits bake, we’ll get started on the quintessential French Quarter treat: beignets. I’ll demystify the process of working with yeast, as we prepare this simple, pillowy dough.
After we get our dough going, we’ll turn our attention to the main event: Jambalaya. From selecting the perfect blend of spices to mastering the technique of cooking rice to perfection, you'll be whipping up a bowl of soulful goodness that captures the essence of the Louisiana bayou.
To ensure we get to enjoy our beignets while they’re hot and fresh, we’ll pause to eat our dinner before frying our dough.
We’ll end the night on a sugar high with piping hot beignets complete with chef prepared dipping sauces (berry and chocolate).
