Smooth sounds of Nola jazz and the aromas of creole seasoning will define your night in this fun, hands-on, BYOB class* ! We'll share secrets for recreating Southern cuisine and explore new twists on traditional flavors. Our instructor will introduce you to a variety of uniquely Southern cooking techniques—from blackened catfish to creating a rich and creamy roux and cooking shrimp to perfection. Plus, you’ll enjoy working alongside classmates and sample various Cajun-inspired treats before indulging in your finished product! It wouldn't be a Southern meal without a cold beverage of your choice--don't forget to pick up your favorite bottle at Mariano's on your way in to class!
Cooking isn't about recipes—it's about technique and passion for food! In our classes you'll work together with other students in a fun, hands-on environment.
• Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and have long hair tied back
• The class concludes with a family-style dinner
*Wine is conveniently available for purchase by the bottle or by the glass at the wine bar at Mariano's

Joelle & Mariano's were both tremendous. Great pace and hands-on for those that raised their hands to help prepare. Amazingly tasty meal that was VERY worth the value. Can't wait for another class with Joelle.
