AMERICAN

Today, American cooking has become a melting pot of modern tastes influenced by world cultures. But not long ago, regional dishes across the United States were originated by settlers, influenced by their heritage and the bounty of the land. With that land and American ingenuity, this young country has brought unique dishes to the world. Much more than casseroles and pies, explore dishes that have originated or thrived across the United States including Jambalaya, Crab Cakes, Po' Boys, the Ultimate Burger, and decadent Clam Chowder in our American Cooking Classes.

BEIGNETS

There is nothing quite like a warm, sweet and pillowy beignet... Best served hot, these scrumptious fritters are covered in sweet powdered sugar and will melt in your mouth. But while you're likely here for the Beignets, we'd like to introduce you to Chess Pie. With a fun history, dare we say - Chess Pie could become the class highlight.

The literal translation of this dish is “smothering” and it’s one of the techniques you use to make this mouthwatering meal.
