Chef Rene was a great instructor for the demonstration cooking class.  Funny, historically informative and of course his jambalaya, gumbo, bread pudding and pralines were amazing!

Exquisitely Delicious

Pat, our chef for the experience was delightful. She was entertaining and gave great history of the area. She was conversational and it wasn't like she was following a script. The food was delicious and she made us all confident that we could make the recipes at home! The best part of our New Orleans trip!

Amazing Experience!

Very interesting, informative and delicious. Loved it and enjoyed shopping in the general store. Thanks.

Chef Brandon was amazing, so funny, and so informative! My boyfriend and I had so much fun, and are so excited to go back to California knowing the roots of real gumbo! (And how to correctly make it!)

AMAZING

Brandon was a great 'teacher's.  He explained various options to prepare and cook Gumbo, Jambalaya & Pralines. He also included history of his LA upbringing, and background of the history of cooking in various regions of Southern Louisiana. Food was delicious and all had a good time.

Pat did an amazing job of sharing New Orleans rich history while teaching us the delicious dishes she made. Wonderful morning of food and fun!

Cooking Class- NO School of Cooking

Our chef Pat was just great, giving us great cooking tips as well as a history of New Orleans food culture. The whole experience was very enjoyable, including chatting with other guests at round tables. When you figure that you also get lunch, we felt it was a good value.

For me as a celiac (can't eat wheat/flour), the eating part was a bit unsatisfying. The 'dietary restriction' meal seemed to be the same for vegetarian or celiac. So I was served a veggie gumbo and a veggie creole sauce on rice. Meh. This is the only part of things that could be a lot better.

Loved this History of NOLA through Food Culture

Every year during our annual vacation, we book the 10:00 cooking school. Each year it is a different chef instructing. It is entertaining, educational, you get instruction sheets on how it is being made, then after watching the chef prepare it, you get to eat it!  You learn about local food tradition and history of the people that brought those food traditions into the area. I highly recommend this activity even if you don’t do the cooking in your household.

Great each time...

We enjoyed the film & learning the history of the  company and the  process of making the floats. Would recommend this tour highly.

The tour

The tour was very informative. I loved seeing all of the hard work that goes into making the different parts for the finished product-which is the floats.

Tourist

Fascinating tour!  Educational video but best part was visiting the warehouse and seeing all the floats headed to their new float event. Highly recommend this tour
