Southern Risotto
Cooking Class for Ages 16+

In this hands-on class, Chef Mona will guide you through mastering the art of risotto preparation. Your creation will feature the classic flavors of Louisiana gumbo (sausage, rice, and beans), elevated, combined in a new and unique style that perfects the creamy and comforting texture of Risotto. Discover a delicious collaboration of the deep and comforting flavors of Louisiana cooking, prepared in the style of risotto.
You and your cooking partner will prepare a full batch of “gumbo risotto” with enough to enjoy in class and take enough home for another meal. To round out the experience, you’ll also enjoy a simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette, a fresh complement to the risotto’s rich, savory flavors.
