Make Authentic Louisiana Gumbo with Chef Denay

During this virtual class, I will not only teach you how to make savory and authentic gumbo, but we will also explore the historical origins of this beloved dish rooted in Louisiana Creole and Cajun cuisine. You will learn about gumbo’s culinary peculiarities as well as its cultural importance. In doing so, you will gain a valuable perspective into both the food and culture of Louisiana — something that may not have been possible prior to this virtual event! I will show you how to select & prepare your ingredients, cook the roux, make the gumbo base, and add in your desired protein. You will learn how to de-slime okra and why certain vegetables are not used in gumbo. By the end of class, you will have a true understanding of the process of making delicious and authentic gumbo.
