MONDAY, JUNE 27TH THAT DEEP SOUTH CUISINE: NEW ORLEANS SCHOOL OF COOKING How can we sum up New Orleans cuisine in one dish? Creole Gumbo? Andouille Jambalaya? Soft-Shelled Crabs? Barbecued Shrimp? BlackEyed Peas? Crawfish? Beignets? Pralines? What’s the difference between Cajun cooking and Creole cooking? And what is a roux? The only way to learn to recreate the magic that is New Orleans cuisine in your own kitchen is to watch a professional chef perform at the New Orleans School of Cooking. Our expert chef will whet your appetite for Creole Cooking – the world famous cuisine that combines the finest elements of French and Spanish cooking with rich indigenous seafood, spices, and produce.

Experience the beauty and serenity on a flatboat ride into the interior of one of the wildest swamps and natural areas in North America. Flourishing with Cypress trees draped in Spanish moss, wild flowers and multitudes of indigenous aquatic plants, the swamp opens a path to the heart of Louisiana.
