Guild invites you to explore a piece of Chef Joey’s black culinary history.
Pretend you are on the streets of New Orleans with a Hurricane in your hand, dancing with the second line looking for the best place to serve the NOLA Classics. This is a snapshot of Chef Joey’s history. And a small representation of the bold cuisines black culture has gifted us.
Chef Joey will take you through each item as we explore the world of Creole, a cuisine he is very familiar with as he is from New Orleans.
Download all the information you’ll need for the class including the pre-class prep list included in the agenda and the recipes. It is ideal that you print those out. Pre-prep is key as we have an amazing couple of items but it does depend on how much is done before hand. Plan for about 10 mins of prep.
So jump on the zoom call a few minutes ahead of the start time to get your technology all set and pour yourself a refreshment and we’ll get cookin’ at 4:00pm MST sharp!
Le Bon Temps Roule!
Hurricane
If you want to kick off the evening you can make a cocktail inspired by a drink often sipped along Burbon Street but we’ve made it your own Saskatoon Hurricane!
1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons 3 ounces, 85 ml light rum
1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons 3 ounces, 85 ml dark rum
3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 Tablespoons orange juice (or Saskatoon syrup!)
1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons 3 ounces, 85 ml passion fruit juice
3/4 Tablespoons simple syrup*
3/4 Tablespoons Grenadine syrup
Orange slice and cherry for garnish optional
Instructions
Combine all ingredients except for orange slice and cherry in a pitcher. Stir to combine. Pour through wire mesh strainer into glass filled with crushed ice.
If desired, garnish with orange slice and cherry.
You can make your own simple syrup by combining equal parts of water and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Cool completely.
Wine Pairing
“I love to match wine and food together, individually each item may be delicious but a great food and wine pairing creates an experience that can be magical.” Chef Joey
He has reviewed the exclusive menu you are about to cook and has made a wine pairing to serve with it.
Wine Selection:
Pierre Sparr Pinot Grigio - 373332
Aromas of fruit, apricots, peach. In the mouth as well softly and minerally with a delicate sweetness-acid-relation, a fancy minerality and a firm racy body (just like Chef Joey)!
Vina Real Crianza - 714335
This wine shows shades of medium to deep shiny cherry colour with a purple background. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe fruits (blackberries, blackcurrants) stand out, complemented with subtle hints of oak. Structure and roundness dominate the palate with a good integration of fruitiness and oakiness. The aftertaste is marked by very well balanced tannins and persistent spicy, toasty and balsamic aromas. A long stay in the bottle is the finished touch to this Rioja Alavesa wine's character.
