What to expect:
115 Evangeline Dr
Welcome to the Evangeline Cottage! You will arrive at my 100 year old home in downtown Lafayette and be welcomed with a Cajun amuse-bouche--boudin! We'll pour some drinks (BYOB or there will be some wine and local beers for purchase) and go into the kitchen for a food demonstration. Cajun food can't be cooked in one hour, so your meal will already be simmering on the stove, but we'll go over each course, showcase it's ingredients, and demonstrate how it's made. Cajun cuisine is as rich in its history as it is in taste!
After the demonstration, we'll sit for your curated meal.
A starter featuring local ingredients and whatever seasonally fits best.

Please note that this tour needs a minimum of 4 people to run.
