Chef Shelley Elizabeth is back to bring you one of Julia Child's classic recipes in a simple, hands-on format where you not only learn the art of boeuf bourguignon (beef stew), you will also gain knife skills while cutting fresh vegetables and how to enhance this dish using fresh herbs. This effortless elegant beef stew will quickly become your go-to meal for your autumn entertaining.

In the words of Julia Child, "You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces—just good food from fresh ingredients."

Elevate your pre-game table with quick hearty dips everyone will love.

Ashley Madden Rowton, cookbook author and blog writer from Minden, Louisiana will be here to instruct you on how to prepare three different game day appetizers from her new cookbook entitled, The Copper Whisk. You will whip up one of the appetizers to take home to share with your own tailgate crew.

If you would like to purchase a cookbook, Natalie Ducote of Brick and Row Merci Beaucoup Interiors & Gifts will be on hand to sell cookbooks the day of the event.
