    New Orleans School of Cooking

    French Quarter

    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.
