Great experience

The class was great. Chef Erick did a good job. We have done quite a few similar classes and this was as good or better than any others. The meal that we prepared was fantastic- can’t wait to get home and try the recipes.

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!!

Two timers!

This is the second class we attended and loved it each time! The demonstration was educational and helpful as well as entertaining! We were able to taste what was presented and could even enjoy seconds! The food was delicious and the tips very valuable! Each class we attended presented a different menu. A wonderful experience! We will look forward to next year!
