The best cajun food ever!!
Family
We had a family of 14 and our tour guide. We went to do cajun cooking with Spuddy and had an amazing time. We made jambalaya, gumbo, okra, the best peas EVER, a seafood court bouillon and more!! Spuddy was so down to earth and fun and the food was AMAZING! Our family of 14 would all recommend as a must do!

NOT your typical cooking school, this is an experience that should not be missed!
have taken cooking classes all over the world, and this is not your average cooking class, this is an experience. Spuddy explains the history behind Cajun cooking and lets you cook a meal. From making my first link of andouille to learning about what color a roux should be, I was blown away by this class.
​
Spuddy is larger than life character that shares stories from history while walking you through the preparation of a full Cajun meal. One of the best parts was the end of the experience when we got to set down with Spuddy and enjoy the meal we had prepared. I left Spuddy's having learned about Cajun cooking, and I had a ton of fun!

You cannot go wrong booking this experience!

Thank you for the review! Since starting this cooking experience I have gotten to meet people for all over the world and I have had the opportunity to share Cajun culture with them. I am really glad you enjoyed the class and the great meal we all shared.

Hands down some of the best food we have ever had! Unique experience but Spuddy and Elaine welcomed us with open arms!
Amazing experience for my husband and I on our trip. Spuddy and Elaine welcomed us with open arms and we felt like instant family! Food was outstanding and it was a giant history lesson of the area.

I attended Spuddy’s Cajun Experience yesterday! I am absolutely amazed at the knowledge and passion Spuddy has for the Cajun Culture! I consider myself a good cook but Spuddy shared some “tricks” with me yesterday!
I am applying those skills with 30 friends today for the Cruising The Coast in Gulfport, Ms!
Thanks Spuddy!! Well done my friend!!

Great Cajun Cuisine Made Simple

Best and most entertaining 90 minutes you can have in Vacherie with your clothes on. Spuddy is a master chef, an orator, and a Cajun historian. I love this show!

Great food and an even better time
Family
Spuddy was an absolute delight, happened across this class by accident and were so pleasantly surprised. It was not your typical classroom experience, it felt like cooking in the kitchen with an old friend. The end product was a great payoff. 10/10 recommend if you're in New Orleans it's worth the drive.

Truly an EXPERIENCE
We recently attended Spuddy’s Cajun Cooking Experience. As soon as we walked into the restaurant Spuddy made us feel comfortable, like being at home among friends. His expertise in the kitchen allowed him to relate to all levels of cooking talents. Under Spuddy’s guidance, the students did the cooking. Literally a hands-on experience. His explanation of the history of not only the Cajun people but all of the nationalities that settled in the area was captivating and insightful. The stories he related allowed us to appreciate how their recipes were developed. Whether you were helping with the roux, the gumbo, the jambalaya or making the sausage and andouille; Spuddy put you at ease and made you feel like part of the cooking team. His vast knowledge of the history and expertise in the kitchen were only overshadowed by his passion to impart these experiences to his class. This was much more than a cooking class, it was truly an EXPERIENCE!!!

Unbeatable product and experience
I had the opportunity to participate in the Cajun Cooking Experience and what a time it was! Spuddy was a wealth of great information from the time we set foot in the door. He takes you through the history of the Cajun people, their lifestyle, their food and all with the utmost respect for all those peoples who helped shape that history (which is much more vast than you might assume). We learned all about some of the quintessential Cajun meals from start to finish. Spuddy walks the whole group through each step of making these delicious dishes on a level that makes translation into your own kitchen seem attainable and reasonable. The end product was absolutely delicious and having played a part in making it caused it to taste that much better. Overall, this was an incredible experience and I highly encourage anyone to make a trip for this unbeatable experience. Whether you're in the area touring plantations or a local looking to spice (literally) up your weekend, I highly recommend Spuddy's Cajun Cooking Experience!

Food Done Right
My wife and I wanted to try something fun over the weekend and Spuddy's Cajun Cooking Experience did not let us down. Spuddy takes you on a tour that brings you back all the way to the Louisiana purchase, and he helps you understand why the dishes you are making were made to begin with. You will quickly grow in your appreciation of cajun/ creole food, and you will find no better host in Lousiana to help you do so.
