UGK: Sunday Soul Dinner
Master the cast iron, the dredge, and the secrets of an iconic Sunday dinner in your own kitchen.
Service Description
Welcome to UGK 101. There is an art and a science to legendary Southern comfort food, and it all starts with the cast iron. In this intensive, 3-hour private masterclass, Shef Shaun brings the University of Grandma’s Kitchen curriculum directly to your home to teach you the exact technical skills required to build a flawless Sunday dinner from scratch. No shortcuts, no guesswork—just pure technique and soul. THE SYLLABUS: Fried Chicken 201 (The Main): Master the art of the buttermilk brine for ultimate moisture retention, the chemistry behind a perfect dredge, and precise temperature management for that shatteringly crisp crust without a commercial fryer. Quick-Braised String Beans (The Side): Learn how to build a deep, smoky broth foundation using quick-rendering smoked meats and aromatics to get rich, hours-long flavor in a fraction of the time. Stovetop-to-Oven Candied Yams (The Side): Master the reduction method to create a thick, buttery, spiced glaze that perfectly coats the yams without making them watery. Cast-Iron Cornbread (The Bread): Understand the thermal dynamics of pre-heating cast iron to achieve that coveted, golden-brown bottom crust every single time. WHAT'S INCLUDED IN TUITION: 3 hours of private, hands-on culinary instruction for up to 6 guests in your home. All premium ingredients prepped and brought to your kitchen. The official digital UGK Recipe Syllabus for your personal collection. 🎓 UPGRADE TO THE VIP ENROLLMENT PACK: Don't turn up to class out of uniform!
