Just returned from a chilly but enjoyable four-night trip New Year’s trip to New Orleans. We did a demo class at the New Orleans School of Cooking (hands on classes were booked) and it was wonderful. The instructor started with a very thorough and informative history lesson on New Orleans explaining how all of the various cultures contributed to the development of their unique cuisine. She then showed how to make crab and corn bisque, chicken etoufee, and pralines. We sampled generous portions of the dishes and left stuffed! I will be sure to schedule a hands on class next time.

Also visited WWII museum, Cafe DuMonde, Central Grocery for muffaletta, dinner at Antoine’s, breakfast at Camellia Grill, and did a walking tour of St. Louis Cemetery. Spent NY eve at Howlin’ Wolf watching the Rebirth and Hot 8 Brass Bands. Good times!
