New Orleans School of Cooking

My husband and I took the 3 hour hands on class from Chef Matt on 1/17/18. We had an absolute blast. Matt was a fantastic instructor - he gave us some great history of the city and specifically food’s history in the city, which is abundant. They start you off with a bunch of alcohol, so that was great. It’s an intimate class of 10 people and depending on the day it’s different foods. We made Gumbo Ya-Ya, BBQ Shrimp & Grits, and Banana’s Foster Crepes. It all turned out absolutely fantastic. Chef Matt was hands on in helping, but really wants you to do the work. And he really knows what he’s talking about, so take good notes! We can’t wait to come back and take another class. This is a MUST-DO if you like to cook and are visiting New Orleans.

So glad we decided to try this while in New Orleans. The demo was fun, interactive and extremely educational (I can now make a roux!). I felt like i got a real sense of what makes New Orleans cuisine unique and delicious. Huge thanks to Chef Brendon (I hope I got his name right) for a great afternoon. So worth the money because you will leave stuffed for the rest of the day. We watched our chef make Gumbo, Chicken Creole and Pralines. I left with not only the demo experience but also detailed recipes (and ingredients that I bought in their cute shop) to make again at home. Pralines (which I’ve been pronouncing wrong my whole life) are absolutely delightful. If you visiting the French Quarter, this experience is a must-do.

EXCELLENT!! The food is so good, the instructors are all different. My favorite was Harriet because she is simply hilarious. I would take all their demo classes if I had more time

We had a fantastic experience at the New Orleans School of Cooking! You don't get any 'hands on' in the class we took except devouring the food. The food was delicious and my whole family learned a lot about the food history of New Orleans and enjoyed the laughter and humor of Pat, our Chef. I would definitely go again!

I took the hands on class. I’ve taken cooking classes all over the world and this is one of the top classes! The instructor Chef Sarah, the small class size, gorgeous kitchen area, and fun students made the class. We made brunch items that I’ll definitely make at home.
