Join us on Wednesday, July 23 at the PAC for an entertaining and educational

Come learn how to prepare authentic Cajun and Creole food in a healthy way by reducing
salt, fat and calories - yet still maintaining that South Louisiana flavor!

New Orleans who is very entertaining and recently appeared on "Throwdown
with Bobby Flay - The Best of the Bayou." A complete "heart healthy" meal
will be included.

Pan Seared Fresh Vegetables with Sesame Seeds

And now for the Pics of the event!

Because another speaker ran a little long, we only had 45 minuets to prepare the entire meal for everyone (60 people!!); it went off without a hitch!!

Laurent and I cooked everything in front of them while informing the group on how to make the dishes "Heart Healthy" by removing fats and salt.

I think the most popular dish was the pan seared beans with marinated baby corn on the cob.
