Don't go out to eat...stay in with us to make an amazing Southern Style Dinner! Great class to take with a friend, family member or spouse!! Beginning in the 1960's, food in the U.S. deep south was heavily influenced by early settlers from France, Germany and Spain. Slaves from Senegal, Africa, then Cuban refugees and Cajuns from Nova Scotia, Canada also contributed to the medley of flavors using the wealth of local seafood, vegetables, poultry, livestock and of course pecans. Join us in creating a memorable meal to include: Crab Dip, traditional Cheese Straws, Gumbo, Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, Buttermilk Biscuits, Cheese Grits, Pecan Praline candy and traditional Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce. And we may add a few more recipes! NOTES: A $17 supply fee due at class Bring containers for leftovers
