Soul Food with Gerard Klass

Soul food is a culinary tradition with roots in the West Indies, the Caribbean and the southern United States. Join guest chef Gerard Klass, founder of Minnesota’s Soul Bowl, for a class all about his approach to soul food, which is committed to presenting the foods of his childhood in a flavorful, healthy and beautiful way. With Gerard as your guide, you’ll learn to make smoky, boldly flavorful jerk chicken. That’s not all, though: you’ll also learn Gerard’s take on rice and peas, which adds toasted coconut for another layer of nutty flavor. And, to round out the meal, we’ll make a batch of fried sweet plantains, which are guaranteed to become your new favorite go-to snack and side. Gerard also will offer vegetarian and vegan options for all his dishes.

What’s on the menu:
- Jerk Chicken
