David Cook, co-owner of Gather Food Studio & Spice Shop, 2011 W. Colorado Ave., won the 2020 Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo Cook-Off in Manitou Springs. But, because of the pandemic, the event is on hold this year and Cook can’t defend his title. Not to be deterred, he will do a free livestream Geaux Gumbo cooking class at 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
“I’ll be demonstrating the recipe I made for the contest and the cornbread I served with it,” he said. “We (Cortney Smith, co-owner of the studio, will join Cook) are doing the event to promote art and culinary in our Springs community.”
