    I am sitting at Langlois right now as I am finishing my experience. The food and class was great. My whole family of 5 enjoyed the whole experience. I learned a lot....this is a must do

    Our group of about 15 intrepid chefs in training gather around Tess to learn the secrets of Cajun cooking!

    We feel so extremely fortunate to have spent the evening cooking with Tess and Amanda - they are absolutely AMAZING! We participated the the 'Not Your Mama's Gumbo' experience and it was a delightful epicurean journey‼

    Our meal!

    I wish you could rate something higher than 5 stars. This place is in a class of its own; an exceptional dining experience and an absolutely incredible meal. I doubt my review will do this place justice; you MUST try this yourself. This is an interactive dining experience. You watch and participate in the creation of the evening's meal, learning how to make most of the dishes yourself so you can duplicate them at home (they send you home with the recipes). It's a great concept in and of itself, but Chef Tess and the Langlois staff have created an absolutely magical dining experience. We are greeted when we walk in with a glass of wine and someone takes our coats. We mingle with the other guests (there's only 16 of us total...very intimate) and enjoy the pickle plate. Pickled mandarins, grapes, and of course, pickles. Plus some head cheese and a pea purée. It was a unique blend of flavors and utterly delicious. We decide to do the wine pairing and take our next glass of wine to the kitchen to start cooking. Chef Tess show us how to make a roux and explained which type of roux would be used to make a variety of dishes. Several people participated, stirring, adding ingredients, etc. until it was time to add the broth and let it simmer! She then showed us the best way to prep fried chicken, we dredged it in flour and she set it aside in the freezer for later. Next came the salad. So simple, right? Anyone can make a salad! Or so I thought! I've been going about this salsas making business all wrong! I learned how to properly dress a salad and how to mix flavors and textures to create a delicious masterpiece. At this point we took a break to enjoy our salad and another wine pairing. Delicious. Back to the kitchen! Chef Tess showed us how to fry the chicken, sauté collard greens and make ice cream using liquid nitrogen! Food was plated and we were off to the main event. (See pic). It was absolutely amazing. If I had simply walked into a restaurant and been served this meal, I would've rated it as one of the best meals I had ever eaten. But this meal, along with the experience itself, was out of this world. There are many reasons I plan on returning to New Orleans, but this is number one.

    We came by on a Friday night for a cooking class with chef Mel and chef Jonie. This was without a doubt one of our huge highlight of our New Orleans trip!! The setting and environment was so intimate and we were really able to ask as many questions as we had and really learn the fundamentals of Cajun and creole cooking. The chefs told us about their background and we got a chance to really know them throughout the 2ish hours. The chefs were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire class. The class itself was as hands on as you'd like it to be. We got to stir the gumbo, jambalaya and flip some crepes! Took three tries but I finally got the darn thing to flip :) The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! The praline dessert we made was some form of hybrid between a cookie and a candy. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I couldn't go back to eating normal pralines anymore since these were so amazing! good thing the tray wasn't in front of me because I probably would've devoured the entire thing! At the end of our class, the chefs gave us wonderful suggestions of food places to try in New Orleans. None of them were a letdown :) I would highly highly recommend Langlois to anyone and everyone interested in the culinary scene of New Orleans!

    The highlight of my Nola trip! Chef Amy started Langlois with the money she earned from winning a cooking competition w the Iron Chef and his crew...she runs a tight ship w her crew. I went w a group of 12 people for our afternoon activity. There was another table of about 10 people in the room. Overall it is an intimate experience, because there are 2 chefs leading the meal prep and one sommelier. The menu was a fruit/hog head cheese plate, chicken and andouille sausage jambalaya, seafood gumbo, bread pudding, and praline custards. We also signed up for the official wine pairing. The whole package was $130 and we were stuffed. While cooking, the chefs had us individuals take turns in stirring the gumbo, prepping the pudding, piping the custard, etc. It would be a stretch to say I actually cooked anything end to end by myself but hey we paid a lot of money and the chefs wanted to make sure the meal was on fleek. The best part was chatting w the chefs as they are a wealth of information about Cajun food, all food actually, and NoLa. They are friendly locals that gave us a lot of insight into the culture. At the end they provide you with a recipe book to make the 5 course meal at home. Wins!

    What a wonderful cooking school! I enjoyed every moment from making the class reservation with Lauren, to learning with Chef Tess, and to taking in the surroundings of the beautiful building. Lauren was so accommodating of my food issues, and I do not find that everywhere. She was also great at keeping me posted on whether the class "made" and if my friends had registered. Chef Tess has such a fun personality and great knowledge of the school's vision, New Orleans, and of course the food. She was just right for reaching out to my friend and me in our different learning styles and levels of cooking experience. I appreciated that she let us decide if we wanted to be hands-on. I have already been home practicing some of the new techniques that I learned from Chef Tess. The building is lovely. Everything about this program is top-class. Even the folders with the recipes and information about the school is beautifully presented. The table tops and decor are modern and pretty. The bathroom was spotless (very important to me in a food area). I am definitely planning to take another course the next time I find myself in The Big Easy. This was a memorable and delicious experience. Did I mention the red beans were out of this world divine????!!!!

    Prepping for that roux!

    If you are looking to do something fun and different one night definitely check this place out. We had so much fun learning about cooking and actually cooking. I highly recommend doing the seasonal menu for dinner it is so delicious and fresh. I will never forget my experience here & the staff is beyond friendly & they make sure you are having a lovely time!!!

    This was by far the best cooking experience I have EVER had! Amazing chefs...2 thumbs up for Chef Amy and Chef Tess. The only challenge was that the food was soooo good so I wanted to eat it all!!

    Some of the dishes we prepared.

    This has been our best dining experience so far in New Orleans. We enjoyed hearing about the resident ghost in the building and some of the history and culture of New Orleans. I have cooked all of my life and was excited to help prepare the meal. If you're not into cooking, you can just drink wine and talk with the other people at your table. Chef Amy is knowledgeable and entertaining and you get beautiful copies of all of the recipes, not just recipes printed on regular paper. The food was fabulous and we had 3 desserts! We opted for the wine pairing and tried some wines we had not tasted before. They sold us a good bottle of cava to have later in the evening since it was New Years Eve. The staff called our cab for us when it was time to go. What an entertaining, fun way to spend New Years Eve. Thank you, Langlois! Happy New Year!

    Facilities

    You must visit Langlois while in NOLA if you enjoy cooking or eating Cajun/creole food. We had an absolute blast here for the traditional New Orleans lunch class. The place is walkable from the French quarter. Facilities are modern industrial yet very welcoming and clean. You can participate in cooking or just observe. Beer and wine can be purchased a la carte or you can purchase a package. If you plan to drink at 2+ glasses of wine, go with a beverage package. Chef Amy and Chef Tess made the entire experience great. I learned a lot and enjoyed the meal we prepared. We prepared gumbo, jambalaya, bread pudding and pralines. This is great for singles, girls night out, and couples. Out of all the things we did while visiting NOLA, we enjoyed this the most.

    Our fun intimate group!

    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.

    So much fun! My husband shied away from anything Cajun or Creole cause he thought it was exotic…read more This showed him there wasn't anything he wouldn't eat in other dishes included. I didn't his several years ago with a girlfriend and loved the instructor Harriet because she gave so much background and local takes on the dishes. I was so excited to see she would be my instructor again. We had biscuits, Gumbo, red beans and rice, pralines and pecan pie. Enough food to carry us through the day. Its a bargain! And Harriot even explained if you made a mistake how to revive it. I highly recommend.
