Shreveport Chef Letting Us in on His Cooking Secrets

Chef Gabriel Balderas Has Captured the Heart of Shreveport Through His Delicious Creations in the Kitchen.

Chef Gabriel and his wife Brooke are the proud owners of El Cabo Verde and Zuzul Coastal Cuisine. They are active in the community and are always quick to celebrate and share their culture with their community.

El Cabo Verde and Zuzul Coastal Cusine are Known for Their Epic Wine Dinners.

Unfortunately for several of us in Shreveport-Bossier, we have all been super late to the game and missed out on tickets to some of their dinners because every single time one of these 5-course dinners is announced people wait for tickets to be released and scoop them up fast. These dinners will ruin you, you go to one and can't quit daydreaming about the next one. It's a blessing and a curse, however, it's one of the best dining experiences in Shreveport. You simply must spoil yourself at least once and enjoy a 5 course dinner at Zuzul or El Cabo Verde.

Zuzul is Hosting a Seafood Cooking Class With Chef Gabriel Balderas.

Have you ever thought that you just don't have what it takes to make all the delicious dishes that feature seafood or shellfish? I have avoided certain dinners for this simple reason. However, the fear of cooking with seafood could go away if one of our favorite chefs showed us the ropes right? Sunday, January 12, 2025 at 2:00 PM Zuzul has a Seafood and shellfish cooking and sourcing class. "Join us for a hands-on cooking class that’s all about sustainable sourcing, thoughtful prep, and expert cooking techniques—taught by Chef Gabriel himself. Discover new ways to work with fresh seafood and bring coastal flavors to your kitchen like a pro."
