Chef Ricardo was funny and knowledgeable…a mine of information about New Orleans history, Creole cuisine as well as Cajun cuisine. I just wish I had booked the full experience instead of just the demonstration class.
This is the second class we attended and loved it each time! The demonstration was educational and helpful as well as entertaining! We were able to taste what was presented and could even enjoy seconds! The food was delicious and the tips very valuable! Each class we attended presented a different menu. A wonderful experience! We will look forward to next year!
It was an amazing class. I was hesitant at doing it because I’m from Louisiana, but I did learn something from the chef. I’ll do this class everytime we visit. It was that good!! Plenty of food to consider it your meal!
This is the review of all reviews!!! Even Louisianians love this class! Thank you for coming to see us! Come back!
A must do! The history about the Cajun and Creole integration and Louisiana various cultures. The chef Trudy was awesome and learned a lot about making gumbo,jambalaya, pralines.
Thank you for sharing your review, Karen!
Harriet was our demonstrator and she was great!
This was my second visit. I returned to see a different menu prepared. Our chef was Lynn, a native of South Louisiana. She was entertaining and full of stories and history of how Louisiana cooking came to be. We had shrimp and artichoke soup, crawfish etouffe, bread pudding, pralines and a beer. The demonstration was interesting, the food prepared was delicious and we all had a great time. We left with recipes and good memories! I recommend. The price of $45 was more than fair and much less than you’ll pay elsewhere.
Pat, Thank you for sharing about your experience! We hope you come back someday and try out another chef too!
The food demonstration was amazing. It was great gumbo and jambalaya. The pralines were astounding. It was one of the best things we did in New Orleans.
The experience was amazing! We did not know what we would encounter upon arrival, but it was simply amazing. The staff were so hospitable and welcoming. Chef Eric was phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere the history are worth it. They should charge more for the actual demonstration. Well worth it and I definitely would’ve paid more.
Thank you! We are really glad you enjoyed it. It really is a deal!
Such an awesome and educational experience. Ms Harriet was the creole grandmother I never knew I wanted. She cooked with love and humor, memories and history. The food was delicious and the company lovely.
We had a great time. Chef Harriett lead the class. She gave great tips and tricks for cooking the recipes she made. She was very entertaining, told funny stories, and some New Orleans history. She’s real down to earth and made the experience so enjoyable and I would 100% recommend signing up if you are looking for something new to do in New Orleans.
Thank you for sharing your review here. We appreciate you taking the time! We are glad you had a great time in class.
