Mrs. Anne was amazing!! Let me begin by saying that she is a native of New Orleans, used to be a tour guide and is an amazing person! That alone is a plus!! She was very engaging, entertaining and vibrant. Mrs. Anne made everything so utterly simple, even I (can barely make breakfast in the morning let alone cook an... More

I did not expect this to be the highlight of our trip but it was so much fun! The food was great, the teacher was funny and informative and the cost was reasonable. Even better - I made the reservations for the wrong day - but they were able to fit us into the class. Great customer service experience!

What a wonderful activity for people of all ages. Our chef was Ben what an awesome young man. He made our experience at the New Orleans School of Cooking so enjoyable with his stories and his true passion for cooking New Orleans style. Our menu consisted of Corn & Crab Bisque, Chicken Étouffée and Pralines. This should be on your... More

Our chef was Pat, she was very knowledgeable and began with an overview of the history of food in New Orleans. Then the real fun began, she demonstrated gumbo, jambalaya, and pralines. She had a wonderful style and great interaction with her students. The best part, of course, was eating the meal she prepared. I am hoping that my wife... More

Chef Kevin was one of the most entertaining people I have ever seen. Funny, instructive, and of course the many delicious New Orleans treats just enhanced the experience (gumbo, red beans on rice, pecan pie, and pralines).

We had a great time while at the New Orleans School of cooking. It was a great way to spend a morning, eating food and getting a New Orleans history lesson. As an added bonus, we had pitchers of beer on the table.

I was part of the demonstration class one evening while touring New Orleans with the Road Scholar program. The class lasted a few hours and was lots of fun and informative. The demonstration was easy to follow and our Chef Pat was a good entertainer and engaged the group. During our demonstration Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, Shrimp Creole, bananas foster... More

This was a very enjoyable two hours. The school is a demontration during which our host, Ann, told us a lot about the history of NO cuisine. She was very humorous and entertaining and we did learn quite a bit. The food was good - I discovered that pralines there tasted very different from the ones in the French Market... More

They everyone get to sample the prepared food with an Abita beer to wash it down (if you like). Make reservations early and look for $3.00... More
