Traveler reviews
Great morning!
Enjoyed this demonstration class today. Our chef is brand new to the Cooking school but clearly a very experienced chef. Once he gets used to this new gig some of the kinks will be worked out and the class will be a bit better. Still enjoyed it a lot and the food was remarkable and plentiful. We all left very full! Highly recommend this class for the history of what is New Orleans cooking and a chance to taste some food and pick the brain of a foodie local. All of the staff were amazing as well.
Great Cooking Class!
Chef Lynn made the experience educational and fun. She provided great history while cooking delicous food! She has a wonderful sense of humor and made everyone feel welcome!
Family Fun
It was a great experience. We learned a lot about New Orleans history while eating delicious food... I kid you not!
Fun, food and folklore -- as promised!
I thought I submitted this review long ago but I guess I didn't! Couldn't pass up the opportunity to share the positive experience from our cooking demo in August 2025. The food was delicious and the instructor was fantastic! You can shop in the store before or after the class to pick up items that will give your meals that authentic NOLA flavor. We received the recipes and, if/when you try them at home, send an email to receive an official certificate. We left full and happy!
Fun and Delicious
This is a fun and tasty place! We loved watching the demonstration. Chef Cindy was personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the take away recipes so we can try our hand at them once we get home. Come hungry cuz you'll get plenty!
