I took the Saturday morning class and the instructor was great! I am an experienced cook and I didn't really learn much I didn't already know about cooking, but the way the instructor worked so much history and culture into the lesson was really fun. This class would be great even for the non-cooks in your group. Do make reservations... more

I attended this cooking school last year after hearing rave reviews from friends and had a wonderful time. Michael DeBits was our chef/ instructor. He was fabulous; funny, informative and made a delicious lunch. I've heard wonderful things about Kevin as well. I had such a good time, I talked my husband into going this year. This time we had... more

One of my favorite thing to do while I was in NOLA! What an amazing experience! We arrived at the venue at 9:45am, for a 10am class (starts at the same time every day). The place was CROWDED! Could barely walk. Just around 10am, the staff called each group out to separate us into two rooms (upstairs and downstairs; upstairs... more

I am known for not cooking... my motto is "if it takes more than 20 mins to make, than I don't do it." It was one of the most enjoyable "tours". It was a day when there were just 10 of us. Wonderful introduction of the flavor of New Orleans on food and culture. I do have the recipe for... more

The New Orleans School of Cooking is one of the most genius ideas in the city of New Orleans. Visitors are able to learn history of the foods being cooked and also learn to cook the foods. The class I attended was not a hands on class but they do offer them also. Either way I enjoyed it very much.... more

We cooked bar-b-que shrimp, gumbo, etoufee and bread pudding. Had a wonderful meal, learned a bit of New Orleans history and had a ball. They provide the wine, which certainly added to the fun. Pat was our instructor and ended up to be our friend. I understand that have shorter, less expensive, less hands on demonstrations during the day. more

We recently visited the NO School of Cooking for their cooking class. What a great way to spend the afternoon- and such a bargain at around $25/each for lunch and a cooking lesson. In our class the chef made jambalaya, gumbo, bread pudding, and pralines. All the recipes were tasty and there was plenty to have seconds for those that... more

Anyone can enjoy and appreciate this special view of New Orleans. Our chef was Anne...and she IS the Paula Dean of New Orleans. She is a great storyteller and shares her passions of food and New Orleans. She gives a great review of the history that make the food of New Orleans...New Orleans. There is plenty of food to cook... more

Wonderful experience. We called a month in advance to reserve our seats and recommend that you call ahead as there was a waiting list on the day we attended. I think the room can accommodate about 80 people. You pay when you arrive for the class (get there at 9:45 a.m. to sign in) which began at 10 am and... more
