Fun Unique Activity in New Orleans

Great activity. I was solo, which was fine. Dianne was our chef and very good. Enjoyed hearing about her background. I liked her philosophy on how she would make the recipes slightly differently at home, and make the recipes with substitutions/whatever you have in the house. Food was great! Would suggest not pairing jambalaya and gumbo in same class. Very similar dishes.

Wow!

This class was so good! Even though there were a lot of people, the presenter gave a ton of interaction. He was also so funny. We had just gotten off a cruise and saw two comedians and Chef was much funnier than both of those. He was also very knowledgeable which made the class even more fun.

Great demonstration class!

We participated in a demonstration class with chef Eric. He demonstrated to our group how to make chicken, gumbo, jambalaya, and pralines. He included some history about New Orleans food, and a fantastic job at explaining not the nuts and bolts, but also why things were done in a certain way. Everything was delicious and we had seconds because it was very tasty. He was really good about answering questions but also staying on time and we finished in exactly 2 hours. It was one of the highlights ...read more
