Delish & Entertaining!

Fantastic food-better gumbo and jambalaya than we’ve had at restaurants in town so far. Chef “Gumbo Marie” was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and cooked some delicious food. I’ve never had bananas foster before, and it was absolutely delish! Highly recommend checking out this experience.

Awesome Experience!

This demo was suggested by our carriage driver. Chef Eric was great! Entertaining, funny and one hell of a cook. He cooked gumbo, jambalaya, bread pudding & pralines, all delicious!! As he cooked, he entertained with stories of local food history, offering his expert advice along the way. Everyone received copies of the recipes. Can’t wait to get home and try them. Highly recommend New Orleans School of Cooking Demo Class!!
