Today I attended the first of two free Cajun cooking classes at Jason’s in Taipei 101 conducted by Chef Roy Lyons. It was a really enjoyable event, first and foremost because of the food. Chef Roy Lyons patiently demostrated how to prepare a chicken and pork jambalaya and arrived with samples prepared for the crowd so they didn’t have to wait for it to be finished. The taste was incredible. Better than any I have had anywhere, nevermind in Taiwan. He is also a colorful presenter, not to mention a master chef.
If you like cajun cooking (or spicy food of any type) at all, I highly recommend the show on Sunday. Jason’s brochure says they start at 2:00 pm. The organizers told me that Chef Roy Lyons is doing a prep show and brunch at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant before the show at about 11:00 am. For whatever it’s worth to everyone this was a really enjoyable event to me and some of the best bites of cajun food I have ever tasted.
