Gumbo, Jambalaya and Étouffée Workshop

Chicken Gumbo
Shrimp Jambalaya
Crawfish Étouffée
Southern Cooking for Yankees
Living in New England one has little exposure to true Southern cooking. A lot of what is served as such above the Mason-Dixon line would not pass muster to a true Southerner. This class will teach you the basics of genuine Southern cooking.
We will prepare fresh corn soup with butter bean dumplings, oyster pie, southern fried free range chicken with milk gravy, herbed cheese grits and Bourbon pecan chocolate chip Pie.
Traditional New England Cooking
The cooking of New England is steeped in rich tradition and draws upon both the foodstuffs indigenous to the area and those brought by the old world settlers. Unfortunately, much of what is today pawned off as “Traditional New England” is a hodge podge of processed foods and a mere shadow of a glorious culinary heritage. Participants in this class will learn the history and preparation of genuine New England fare adapted to today’s kitchen.
We will be making:
Salt Cod and Potato Cakes
Oyster Bread Pudding
Yankee Pot Roast
Indian Pudding Custard
