Take a flavorful journey straight to the vibrant streets of New Orleans—without ever leaving Knoxville! In this lively, hands-on class, you’ll dive deep into the heart of Louisiana cuisine, creating bold, flavorful dishes that capture the essence of the Big Easy. Under the expert guidance of Chef John Alunni, you’ll learn how to prepare authentic Creole gumbo from scratch, using the freshest, most flavorful ingredients, just like they do in New Orleans.
Imagine the rich aroma of spices and roux filling the air as you stir your gumbo to perfection. Pair that with freshly baked, golden artisanal French baguettes, and you’ve got a meal fit for a true Creole celebration! And to top it all off, you’ll indulge in pillowy-soft, sugar-dusted Café du Monde-style beignets, bringing a sweet finish to your Louisiana-inspired feast.
By the end of this class, you’ll have the skills and confidence to recreate these iconic dishes at home, impressing friends and family with your authentic New Orleans flair! And best of all, you’ll get to feast on everything we cook together—because the only thing better than learning how to make Louisiana’s best dishes is eating them!
