We had a great group of six individuals in total who thoroughly were entertained and learned new skills in the kitchen.

Quick note do not eat before the class as there is so much food that you will be tasting and leftovers that you'll be bringing back to your hotel room.

Come hungry--leave inspired (and very full!)…read more New Orleans School of Cooking was easily one of the highlights of my trip. I wanted something unique, fun, and rooted in local culture--and this experience delivered on all of it. I signed up for the demo class, which is perfect if you want to learn without the pressure of cooking yourself. The chef not only walked us through each dish, but also shared the history of New Orleans cuisine and the cultural influences behind it--which made the experience feel much richer. Check-in starts in their charming retail shop, filled with spices, sauces, cookbooks, and kitchen tools. The staff was warm and welcoming, and there was even a chef making fresh pralines right in the front window. (Yes, samples were offered--and yes, the chocolate praline was very good.) After roll call, we headed upstairs to the kitchen classroom where the real magic began. On the menu: chicken and sausage gumbo, red beans and rice, pecan pie, and pralines. Chef Austin Faucheaux guided us through each dish, from building a proper roux to preparing the pecan pie filling from scratch. It felt equal parts cooking class and storytelling session. And then--the best part--the tasting. We started with biscuits, followed by a rich, flavorful gumbo. Then came the red beans and rice with a generous piece of soft, moist cornbread. Dessert wrapped things up with a mini pecan pie and a praline. Let me just say--you won't need lunch after this. I learned that the delicious way. Each guest receives printed recipes to take home, which is a nice touch if you want to recreate the experience later. Special thanks to Chef Austin, who took time afterward to chat, answer questions, and take photos with guests. If you're looking for something interactive, educational, and delicious, this is absolutely worth adding to your New Orleans itinerary.

And Harriot even explained if you made a mistake how to revive it. I highly recommend.

Learning How To Prepare A Delicious Brunch Cajun-Style…read more SITREP! Recently I got to participate in a very fun cooking glass at the Langlois Culinary Crossroads Cooking Institute. It was a delightful opportunity to extend my cooking horizons by getting a chance to use local NOLA ingredients to make a wonderful brunch that I can recreate back home in California. THE SETUP As is mentioned in the brochure information, "Some New Orleans visitors take home Mardi Gras beads, souvenir cups, and trinkets from the French Market; others buy art from the galleries on Royal Street. If you're here, it's because you're interested in one of the city's greatest gifts: our uniquely delicious cuisine." And so this indeed provides the backdrop for both the motivation and the excitement for participating in this cooking class, as well as the opportunity that presented itself by being in New Orleans for an extended 4 day weekend. THE COOKING EXPERIENCE With Langlois Culinary Crossroads, it's not just watching a video class or about sharing recipes: we were actively involved in an entertaining and interactive culinary experience where guided by Chefs Jodie & Emily, we got to partake in the brunch meal that we created with their guidance. THE DELICIOUS FRUITS OF OUR LABORS Each of us students got to take an active part in: * Preparing the hash of sausage, sweet potatos, whole garlic cloves and shallots, * In making each crepe, * In making the lemon curd to go into the crepe, * And in making the macerated blueberry sauce that would top eachcrepe. Each activity was a delightful step in this cooking process and one that I will remember and recreate at home. And, yes, the best part WAS being able to eat the brunch that we fixed ourselves. AWESOME COOKING GUIDES I want to give a big shout-out to the awesome Chefs Jodie and Emily, and to their magical kitchen steward Brynna for keeping everything so organized! THE LOWDOWN A fantastic culinary experience I hope to recreate again!

As for the Crepe toss competition, I believe it is going to take off and it will ultimately become an Olympic sport.

We did the Taste of New Orleans Creole cooking class, which included stew okra, jambalaya, and bananas foster. Chef Dee Lavigne is a fantastic chef and teacher. Her sous chef was also great. The students do all the prep work and cooking, so it's very hands on. It was a great class for experienced cooks, but I think it would doable for novices as well! The chefs provided great instruction if you needed help. The food turned out delicious of course. You walk out with recipes for everything you made, and I can't wait to try these recipes again at home! I would not necessarily recommend visiting the museum if you aren't doing a cooking class. It's very small and not the most exciting, but it's fun to breeze around after the cooking class. The gift shop has lots of fun tidbits, including stacks of super cheap cookbooks.
