We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the lunch cooking class at the New Orleans School of Cooking. The cost was very reasonable, especially considering the generous lunch provided. Michael was entertaining, educational and an asset to the experience as a whole. Light hearted fun. While there isn't a 'bad seat' in the house, note that you are allowed entrance... More

I don't remember for sure, but I think the instructor's name was Michael, and he was extremely rude and made the experience less pleasant. While I managed not to be the subject of his rudeness, I, along with many of the other customers, visibly cringed as he openly scolded a middle-aged woman for asking a question related to what he...

We had a great time at the morning cooking class. Our teacher, Ms. Sandra, was knowledgeable and funny and it was seriously the best gumbo we had our entire trip. More

Our teacher, Sandra, was a true gem. Her stories were lively and entertaining, and her cooking tips and instructions were easy to follow - it was like listening to my grandmother. After a week in the city experiencing the food and culture, Sandra's gumbo was HANDS DOWN the best I have ever had. I can only hope to be able... More

If you do not take one of these classes you are crazy! We had a BLAST! and for $26 a person (our hotel had a $3 off coupon so look around) you can not eat food this great anywhere in New Orleans! Take whatever Chef Michael is teaching... he was a hoot! It is not just a cooking class, but... More

Thirteen girl friends took a private hands-on class as part of our girls get-away trip. It was truly the highlight of our 3 days in NOLA. Chef Michael was funny, entertaining and very informative. We loved the hands-on class and the food we prepared was outstanding...BBQ Shrimp, Corn and Crab Bisque, Jambalaya, Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce and, of course,... More

Made a "reservation" to attend one of the cooking classes and picked our class based on what was being cooked/served. Had a great teacher--Pat--who was chock-full of NOLA history and other fun stories. Sampled gumbo, jambalaya, pralines and banana's foster, with a side of biscuits, water/iced tea and a cold beer from local brewery Abita. Worth the price of admission--plus... More

I was very much looking forward to this cooking demonstration. I have wanted to try traditional Gumbo for many years and boy was I satisfied with it here. Anne was our Chef and New Orleans history narrator. This is such a fun experience that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try New Orleans famous cuisine and watch it... More

I haven't taken classes here but would love to in the future. I do stop here whenever I visit New Orleans to buy epicurial gifts for friends and family. Their pralines are made daily and are remarkable. My Mom requests them by name. More
