LA Food Prize Session 2 | Dinner 1 with Chef Panderina Soumas

Seated at our beautifully decorated tables, Chef Panerina Soumas (Pansou) greeted us all with a "Bonjour, comment ça va?" After a brief moment of silence, I mustered up enough courage to reply, "ça va bien" as she flashed me a smile.  I thought to myself, come on through, elementary, middle and high school French class, but I digress.  Do you see this beautiful arrangement?

Chef Pansou gave a brief history about her Creole heritage and went on to introduce her first course.  I immediately fell in love with the creative names of her dishes! Here's what we ate.

Loved this creative name of this dish.  There was a little kick of heat and the flavors hit all the right notes.  I didnt indulge in the cabbage leaf, but a table mate of mine did!
This was AMAZING!  Sweet and spicy!  Chef Pansou says this dish originates from a Hatian background and is traditionally served with toast instead of chips. This salsa can be purchased on her website.

Ground pork, black beans, red beans and diced tomatoes, all stuffed into a "peppa" - how could this be wrong?  Exactly, it was not!  Yum!


The Creole references in the name of this desert are genius and that drizzle, you guys already know....SOPPAGE!!




See y'all next time!
