We had a great group of six individuals in total who thoroughly were entertained and learned new skills in the kitchen. Plus, chef Mark presented us with Bananas Foster at the very end which was delicious. I look forward to returning and taking future classes. I highly recommend. 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.

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.

Incredible Experience!…read more Chef Dee gave an amazing, hands on presentation on what Creole cooking should be and more. She is an amazing tour guide through the classic dishes of the area.

Chef Dee was so helpful and encouraging to everyone no matter their cooking experience. She told us she is the 2nd black woman in New Orleans to own a cooking school and she does the work to bring light to other woman in the history of culinary in New Orleans. This was an amazing class and I look forward to attending another one again.

It is connected to the Whole Foods on Broad so no real issues in that area.

I have taken a healthy Italian class, a Cajun breakfast class, another Cajun entrees class, and this time I took a Cajun seafood class. Every class has made me leave with such a great experience.

This is way cool because you can create anything that your heart so desires; there are size restrictions, but if you scale it down, it's doable. My first exposure to 3-D printing was when I was in Albuquerque New Mexico some years ago at a Yelp event; there was a 3-D printer and we made things. Now I am here in New Orleans and 3D printing is right at my fingertips. The instructor Sam was very patient and thorough. He explained everything on levels that anyone could even understand. And yes the class is necessary before you can operate the 3-D printer; makes total sense, whose gonna cut you loose with a $4000 piece of equipment all willy-nilly? That's right, $4K; I checked the prices. At any rate, I'm looking forward to using the 3-D printer. To be noted, there's a laser printing and some other printing devices as well. This is a great addition to the community I look forward to using it more often than not check it out for yourself.
