    Morris has cooked for a variety of celebrities, including Nicole Kidman, Derek Jeter, Keith Urban, Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black. While he is in Tulsa, he will be taking guests on a vacation to the Caribbean by way of recipes. Inspired by a recent sailing excursion, Morris pulled together his favorite recipes from The Virgin Islands, The Grenadines and Cuba to feature at the show.

    “Caribbean food is made with a few simple ingredients at their peak of freshness. Some of then ingredients might be off the beaten path and different, but it’s not stuff that will be too weird for people,” he said.

    He’ll include cocktails and grilled foods perfect for outdoor entertaining to move people out of the kitchen and into their own parties. And instead of a rapid-fire cooking show, his show will have guests on their feet, dancing and singing along to the music.

    “I love doing these shows,” Morris said. “I love going to places I have never been before. Tulsa is a new one for me.”

    General admission tickets available are $15. VIP tickets have sold out. Tickets will include access to more than 30 exhibitors at the event Thursday, June 30, from 4 to 7 p.m. The Cox Business Center Assembly Hall will be filled with vendors ranging from Hahn Appliance Warehouse to native Oklahoma producers, Aldi, Restaurant Equipment Supply and more.

    Get a taste of the Caribbean with these recipes from Brian Morris.

    BATIDO DE TRIGO (Wheat)

    Batidos are Cuban milkshakes made with sweetened condensed milk and a variety of rich, delicious flavors. These are two of my favorites and can be kicked up for adults with the addition of a little spiced or dark rum. The batido de trigo may sound a little weird, but trust me it’s delicious! It can be prepared as is, or with a splash of strong cuban coffee or espresso!

    ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk

    1 cup whole milk or half and half

    ¼ cup light agave nectar

    1 cup puffed wheat cereal

    ¼ teaspoon salt

    1 shot strong Cuban coffee or express (optional; reduce milk by ¼ cup)

    1 shot spiced or dark rum (optional; reduce milk by ¼ cup)

    ½ cup crushed ice

    1. In a blender, combine all ingredients except ice and process until frothy.

    2. Add ice and process until thick and smooth.

    BATTY MORIR SONANDO (Orange Cream)

    This is my all time favorite, probably because it reminds me of the Orange Julius I loved so much as a kid.

    ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

    3⁄4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

    ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk

    2 tablespoons light agave nectar

    ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    ½ cup crushed ice

    1. In a blender, combine all ingredients except ice and process until frothy.

    2. Add ice and process until thick and smooth.
