My two 18 year old boys had a fantastic time! Such a great experience and worth every penny! The location was great, all the food prepped before we arrived, and we were welcomed and instantly felt great. The boys also learned several new ways to prepare foods that they previously didn't like before the class, and walked away with a lot of new skills! It has been the highlight of their trip - would definitely recommend for a great night out!

Excellent class! Small group, great conversations and even better food. Easy to make at home too! Our instructor was great!

Making the bread pudding loaf was memorable because I suggested putting the remaining chocolate chips on top of the bread pudding loaf before putting it in the oven, and our instructor did. He said he had never done that before, but would do it from now on! He liked this suggestion from this 77 year old lady(:)! The other things that I enjoyed about this class were how bright, clean and organized the facility was set up. The teacher and his assistant were very methodical with the instructions as well as encouraging and attentive. The Chef said we would get the recipes via the company we used to sign-up. The Kirbys used Viator. No recipes received yet. Our class was 5-22-24 10AM. Please send all the recipes. Thank you!

My daughter and I had a wonderful evening cooking with Chef Raymond. We made corn and crab bisque, shrimp Creole, pecan pralines, and bananas Foster. We enjoyed hearing his stories of cooking his favorite foods and the creative cuisine he was making. He threw in a little New Orleans history, too. Be sure to pick up a bag of their Mardi Gras Magic seasoning and a roux spoon to take home. I'd rate this as a must do event for foodies visiting New Orleans. There are several class menus to choose from.

We took a vegetarian version of the cooking class. Got to make Gumbo, Corn Maque Choux, and Bread Pudding with a salted praline sauce. Our instructor Mark is an experienced chef and great teacher! We had a small group just 4. I’m an experienced home cook, but picked up a bunch of tips and tricks for getting a really good bread pudding and gumbo meal together. The corn thing was very very good. I would highly recommend the experience. We left smarter and full of really good food!

Four of us had a fantastic time at the cooking school. The set up was great, the food was truly outstanding and Dave was phenonemal. He made an amazing time better than you could imagine. We can't recommend this more highly.

My son wanted to do a cooking class of Cajun foods and this did not disappoint. Chef Raymond was amazing!!! Experienced, friendly, and fun! The food we prepared was delicious and we are so excited to try these recipes out at home for our family. Thank you for an unforgettable experience and for the memories we made.

My husband and 11 year old son love to cook so this was a perfect excursion for them. They did say they wished they learned more cooking tips but overall they had a great time and the food they made was delicious! Happy they were able to take back leftovers so we could all try!

We had an absolute blast with chef David. We highly recommend this activity! We learned how to make bread pudding, jambalaya (with chicken and sausage), and bbq shrimp. The sauce on the shrimp was amazing. The best part of this activity was talking with chef David. He is super personable and spent time getting to know each person in our family.
