Customer Reviews
Me and my partner took the hands on class with Chef Eric and let me tell you , it was the highlight of our trip and I would go back again in a heartbeat.Chef Eric was absolutely wonderful and our blackened redfish , corn and crab bisque , mushroom risotto, and pralines were all incredible and they were fun and easy to make. We had a blast and would recommend this to everyone!! Worth every penny.
This place is amazing. The instructor, Michael, was personable, knowledgeable, funny, and the man can cook! He shared tips and tricks to cooking authentic Louisiana cuisine and he provided a history lesson that I will never forget! We had gumbo, jambalaya and pecan pralines. This class was totally worth the time and money! Please go, if you are ever visiting NOLA!
If you are a local and are trying to learn more about the art of cooking New Orleans food this is the place to check out. The class is about $45 dollars. It is also a fun activity to go check out with a group of friends on a rainy day. I would recommend ubering down to this area of the city as parking is pretty expensive. I booked the Thursday demonstration class with Chef Michael and it was a blast. His staff was also very friendly when passing out the bowls of corn and crab bisque. Chef Michael did a great job of giving us a background of the recipes and also provided cooking tips on how to make the roux. Included in the class is a local beer (Abita). The class also provides you with a reading packet of the recipes that you can make at home. The bananas fosters was delicious. Overall, it was a great class I would recommend showing up 30 minutes, before the class starts as I got there 5 minutes before the class started and it was packed. Overall, the class was great and can’t wait to check out the other classes they have to offer.
