Chef Bobby was the best! ...

Chef Bobby was the best! This was the best part of our trip. Bobby guided us thru cooking some delicious gumbo, jambalaya and bananas foster all while entertaining us with stories about New Orleans. It was fun eating with our group and talking with them. All were from different areas of the country. Would love to do this again. Highly recommend. Couldn’t have done it without Chef Bobby

Wonderful evening of cooking and eating

Had a wonderful evening with Chefs Gregory and Monique making red beans and rice, southern crab salad, brown butter pork chops, and bananas foster. So fun to cook and delicious to eat! Learned about the difference between and history of cajun and creole and about the trinity (onion, green pepper, celery) and the holy trinity (green onion, parsley, garlic). Somehow made it to my 60s without knowing any of that! Highly recommend!

Best cooking class I ever attended!

What an amazing evening we just had with Chef G!! he was fun, personable, clever, and an absolute joy to learn from. I will come to the school of cooking again and again when I visit New Orleans, and I can’t wait for him to come visit us in Hawaii someday!! The food was spectacular, the kitchen was spotless, the meal was memorable! I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is looking for a great learning experience and a fun evening out with amazing food.

Great experience and great food!

Excellent and informative hands-on cooking class. The chef and his helper were both knowledgeable and personable. The four recipes were easy to follow and the food turned out tasting great. Wine and other beverages were provided during cooking which added a fun atmosphere for the small group of 10 that were in the class. A little pricy but would definitely sign up for this again.
