Awesome Cajun culinary experience!

My wife and I had a wonderful time learning to prepare authentic gumbo, bbq shrimp and grits, and bananas foster. It was even better than expected! Knowledgeable and helpful Chef Greg was there every step of the way. Our meal was fantastic, and we definitely will do it again!

July 3rd - Hands on Class

This was an awesome experience! We had a great time with the hands on cooking class! Chef Eric was not only a wonderful teacher but very informative about the history of the food we were preparing. Had a great time and the food we made was really good! We may have to come back to New Orleans just for the class again!! Oh and bonus you get to meet people from different places!!

The couple that cooks together stays together.

My wife enjoyed working with Chef Cindy during the cooking class on June 20th. It was our 28th Anniversary gift to each other, so it was very special cooking a meal and enjoying it together. The class was excellent and the menu options superb. I can't wait to recreate them all at home...especially the Bananas Foster with crepes. The instruction was easy to follow, and the recipes flawless. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in making delicious Louisiana dishes from home.

Noob made 3 yummy dishes

I had very little cooking experience before this class. So, I was outside of my comfort zone. Last night I made 3 delicious dishes under Chef Greg guidance. I'm very thankful I took the class.
