Awesome Experience!

There are two types of classes, demonstration and hands on. We did the hands on experience and it was phenomenal. Renee was our instructor chef and he made the class very interesting. The hands on class also includes mimosas, Bloody Marys, wine, beer and to go cups ! While not required, drinking was encouraged. We had a lot of fun, learned a lot and enjoyed a very tasty meal that we made ourselves.

Cook up some delicious food and learn about the culture!

Chef Rene was awesome, very helpful, informative and fun! We had previously gone to a demonstration and wanted to do the hands on cooking. We had a great time and really enjoyed the food and the whole experience. We made gumbo, shrimp and grits and bananas foster! So yummy! We will do it again when we visit again!
