Most Amazing Cooking class

Chef Ramon was tremendous. Even though I cook almost every day, I literally learned something with each dish. Very healthy way to enjoy good cooking with a top chef .

Cooking Cajun food is fine and it tastes great

Raymond is a very good teacher, an excellent cook. We signed up for another class from him, which will be in a couple days. We had the jambalaya, barbecue shrimp, and bread pudding class today. We’re going to go back for the root class. This class will have gumbo, étouffée and bananas foster
