New Orleans Demonstration Cooking Class with Meal

1.New Orleans Demonstration Cooking Class with Meal

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,000 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $43Our pick

At the New Orleans School of Cooking, a local chef prepares Creole classics while explaining roux, spices, and Louisiana food traditions. You will sample gumbo, jambalaya, seafood dishes, and desserts with beer, iced tea, or coffee. This is demonstration-only, with no hands-on cooking.

“Very good cooking demonstration with a lot of detail. The history of Louisiana and the Cajun and Creole styles of cooking was quite fabulous. The food was absolutely delicious. It was also nice to be able to have some local beer. We really learned a lot about the Louisiana culture surrounding the food and the people. I would highly recommend the class to anyone who is interested in learning more about the food and the people.”

There was plenty to eat and drink and it was an outstanding meal, but definitely the best experience. Chef Austin is certainly a new friend. I felt like I went to his house to have dinner and met some of his other friends and we sat around the table and shared what’s best in life good people, good food and fellowship. I mean, who doesn’t love an experience. Where so much is done for you that…”

The food was simplistic but good and something I can easily recreate at home. This is definitely an experience I'd want to do again and hope that Paolo is my guide! He mentioned that he likes to change the menu often just to make sure he's cooking…”
