Cooking In New Orleans

Had a great time with Joe at the New Orleans School of Cooking. It was 30 years ago that my husband and I had taken a class with Big Kevin and this repeat experience didn't disappoint! Always a wonderful experience. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn about the culture and cooking in New Orleans.
