WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
We will continue the countdown to Niagara’s Summer Mardi Gras with this interactive, live streamed presentation hosted by Danielle Murray and Mary Comfort of Comfort Kitchen as they show us how to make Cajun shrimp and southern bread pudding at home to get ready for Mardi Gras day. This session will also feature New Orleans cocktails using spirits from our own local Forty Creek Distillery.
About Mary and Danielle
Mary and Danielle met at Beamsville District Secondary School and have been friends ever since. They have both traveled the world and lived in very diverse areas, but a few years ago they both ended up back in Niagara where they renewed their friendship and discovered their shared love of cooking.
