Due to the nature of the class, we cannot make substituions to the recipes that are being prepared during the demonstration; based on your dietary restrictions maybe you can have the soup, but not the entree, you are welcome to do so. We ask that you inform the stewards upon check-in.

Learn the basics of Louisiana cooking and discover the array of spices used in this unique cuisine.
