WHAT YOU’LL DO

Dive into the history and techniques behind Louisiana’s signature dish.

In this in-depth cooking class, Chef Ashley teaches the heritage and structure of an authentic Louisiana seafood gumbo.

You’ll practice time-honored methods for developing traditional gumbo from making a dark roux to developing the flavors with each layer of ingredients. Test your knife skills while chopping the trinity of bell peppers, onions and celery, then learn how to properly season a true New Orleans dish. While you cook, Chef Ashley shares the story of gumbo and its significance to regional cuisine.

Chef Ashley delivered an unforgettable culinary experience with her amazing gumbo and jambalaya. Every bite was bursting with authentic flavor, clearly made from fresh, high-quality ingredients. The balance of spices, richness of the roux, and perfectly cooked meats and seafood showcased her deep knowledge of Southern cuisine. Not only is Chef Ashley incredibly skilled and experienced, but she also presents herself with professionalism and poise. She came well-dressed, organized, and fully prepared — a true professional from start to finish. One standout quality is her respect for the space: she cleaned up thoroughly after cooking, leaving the kitchen spotless. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise, flavor, and courtesy, Chef Ashley is a clear standout. Highly recommended!
