Pack your appetite and get ready to cook your way around the world! In Flavors From Afar, we’ll travel from the bright, fresh flavors of Thailand to the sunny Mediterranean, on to the French countryside, and finish our journey in New Orleans with a classic dessert.
We’ll start in Thailand by preparing a vibrant Thai Mango Salad, where you’ll julienne crisp vegetables and ripe mango before tossing everything together with a savory, slightly spicy peanut-sesame dressing. You’ll build layers of texture and flavor while learning how sweet, salty, sour, and spicy elements come together to create a perfectly balanced dish.
Next, we’ll head to Greece for our main course: Greek Poached Chicken with Lemon and Orzo. You’ll begin by searing the chicken until beautifully golden, then build a flavorful base of leeks, carrots, and lemon. The chicken will gently poach in the oven while the orzo cooks alongside it, soaking up the fragrant broth and all those delicious Mediterranean flavors.
From Greece, we’ll make our way to France and put your knife skills to work with French Vichy Carrots. You’ll learn how to make the traditional oblique cut before cooking the carrots in a classic French-style glaze until they’re tender, glossy, and beautifully caramelized. It’s a great example of how a simple vegetable can become something truly special with the right technique.
Finally, we’ll head to New Orleans for dessert and make Bananas Foster. You’ll sauté bananas in a warm sauce of brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and dark rum, then spoon them over cool vanilla ice cream for the perfect combination of warm, buttery richness and creamy sweetness.
Come hungry, have fun, and let’s take your kitchen on a journey Flavors From Afar!
