Superb!!!

This particular session was NOT hands-on but they do offer it. I enjoyed the stories she told about the history of how certain foods were introduced into Louisiana culture from different cultures. And boy-oh-boy was the finished product DELICIOUS!!!

Awesome Experience!

This demo was suggested by our carriage driver. Chef Eric was great! Entertaining, funny and one hell of a cook. He cooked gumbo, jambalaya, bread pudding & pralines, all delicious!! As he cooked, he entertained with stories of local food history, offering his expert advice along the way. Everyone received copies of the recipes. Can’t wait to get home and try them. Highly recommend New Orleans School of Cooking Demo Class!!

Nola cooking demonstration

A definite must. Gave you history of food that had you understanding the flavors of local foods. Seeing the chef cook the meal made it less intimidating to try back at home. Will definitely go back for other demos of other foods
