An Excellent Girls Weekend Experience

We have a lovely evening at the cooking school during our mother/daughter weekend in New Orleans. The chef was very entertaining and we learned to cook some new dishes and a little bit about the history of Louisiana food. Highly recommended!

Great time!

Everyone had an amazing time cooking and learning new techniques. Not only was the experience educational, everyone sat at the table and made friends. I would definitely recommend the hands on cooking class.

Great & unique experience

This was a great and unique experience. Bobby was our instructor and he made the class so easy going and fun. The recipes were easy to follow and delicious. You and your plus one work together to cook the food. Highly recommend if you are visiting

10/10 recommend this

Had an absolute amazing time. We had Bobby, who did an amazing job explaining and telling stories will also engaging us in the cooking experience. He was right though the only complaint that I have was that my stomach wasn’t big enough and we weren’t able to take any of the leftovers home (despite making the best gumbo we have tasted yet in NOLA). I have absolutely no complaints with the experience. Everything was so professionally done and they continually cleaned up as we were preparing our meals. And the best part was, we were able to take home our cooking robe as a souvenir!

Great NOLA food experience

My husband and I had a greta hands on experience cooking gumbo, jambalaya and banana’s foster. Chef Lynn was wonderful! She gave great instruction and helpful tips! Our food was delicious and we can’t wait to make this at home! Would highly recommend this experience!
