Harriet was a funny and fabulous character … loved the gumbo, tips, pralines and bananas foster… only slight negative was the jambalaya which didn’t have much flavour… but so glad I went on this activity! Yummy and fun

The chef was funny and knowledge about New Orleans history and also made plenty of delicious food to share with the class. Recipes for what we are we're provided as well as tips for future use. Have find this before with a different menu and it was nice to see there are choices of menus before you book. Fun!

I really enjoyed the demonstration and the food was delicious. I also enjoyed the folklore and history of cajun and Creole cooking

Chef Michael was so informative and entertaining. Great value, atmosphere and food. Being from Louisiana myself and cooking since the age of 12, I too learned a few new tricks. Thanks. We hope to return again one day.

Me and my mom enjoyed everything from the storytelling and the food. I will definitely be back with more family!

The stories the chef shared during the demonstration were interesting and informative. My husband and I enjoyed this class. Being able to watch the chef prepare the food and then eating it was well worth the cost.

To tell the story of a place through its food is not only fascinating but delicious. This experience has it all! Highly recommended!

Loved the class. Did one 25 years ago and its still a fun thing to do in NOLA. So much history and our instructor was hilarious 😂. Will definitely do another one.

Chef Michael was awesome & very entertaining. Loved how his presentation of the cooking demo sharing some of New Orleans' history. 10 out of 10, will recommend.

Delightful experience, well organized, comparable price, delicious food in decent quanity, Chef Rene was awesome!! Would do again.

Dianne’s class was an amazing experience. Gumbo, Jambalaya and Pralines were to die for. I would definitely come again!

Pros. The cooking demonstration was informative and interesting and he had a wealth of knowledge on Louisiana and how the cooking style morphed from other countries into what it is now. Cons. The instructor made sexual innuendos which was amusing to 1 particular table but it was very uncomfortable for me and my table mates and as I looked around at other participants, I could tell by eye contact and their expressions that they were feeling ill at ease as well and it was certainly not appropriate and in the business world it is considered “ sexual harassment”. Although the instructor was very informative and created very good food, his assertive nature bordered a bit confrontational side. The first “con” can be remedied with a bit of coaching but can’t be undone, the 2nd one is just his personality it seems.

This was a highlight of our trip! Pat the woman conducting the glass is a first class chef with humour and great history lessons tossed in for flavour. If our class was this good the hands on would 5+!! The actual meal was excellent and you won’t need to eat again for awhile. The shopping is fun after too! This will satisfy any foodies in your group but it is just a good time or time well spent. PS Thank You Pat!

The chef/instructor (Michael) and his wonderful stories really made the class special. And the meal was wonderful, too!

Pat was very knowledgeable and gave good cooking tips and great history of New Orleans. The food was delicious! Especially the gumbo!

It was interesting and fun! Enjoyed the jokes. The cook/historian was very knowledgeable and fun! Thanks!

Our chef Pat was incredible. She could run her own tv show. Fun and interesting information. This was a demonstration class, and by the time she was done there was plenty of food to go around so don't eat beforehand. You could tell everyone in the group was having a great time. She answered questions and gave us ideas of how to add certain ingredients to change up the recipe to suit you taste. This is an activity that I would go to again.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hour demo class with Chef Rene. He was well prepared to feed 60 of us gumbo, jambalaya and pralines. Most of the food was already prepped or started so it would be ready to serve. We learned so much about the creole and Cajun dishes and all the variations as well as the history of the people. Super fun class and I’d highly recommend it. You get several drink option and enough to eat to leave full.

This class was excellent! Pat, our instructor was extremely knowledgeable and witty. We learned a great deal about New Orleans and the tastings were plentiful and delicious. This is a must do activity if your are ever in New Orleans.

The story of New Orleans was unmatched. Ms. Pat was so engaging and the food...omg! Can't wait to try again!
