Guidance from a Professional Creole Chef! - The best 2-3 hours spent in the French Quarter. We felt at home from the get-go and really learned a lot while having fun and enjoying an awesome meal! Chef Mark was very helpful and gave us many tips about prep, ingredients, and spices. In addition, he recommended some Creole and Seafood restaurants in NOLA that were spectacular!

Outstanding Experience - A true New Orleans foodie dream! Chef Raymond was exceptional. His extensive knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to a fabulous experience. We learned a great deal and feel like we can recreate this magic in our own kitchens. The only disappointment was that we were not allowed to keep our aprons. Another Cooking School in NOLA gifted us their aprons and we were anticipating keeping the great purple ones we wore today. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

Loved learning the food delights of New Orleans! - Absolutely FANTASTIC!! This event was well thought out, planned, and executed. The food was so flavorful and it was EASY to do! There are possibilities for each person at the table to take part in the cooking, and the instructions are easy to follow. They also have staff constantly running around to assist where needed, and the history lesson about how the food of New Orleans came to be was incredibly interesting! They made exceptions for food allergies, AND food preferences, like vegetarians. All in all this was a wonderful experience and I will definitely be going back!
