Amazing flavors, great evening, now to try this on my own! - Chef Mark was outstanding. Flavors were amazing and he brought out the flavor of the ingredients, not having the spices overtake the dish. Best meal in NOLA by far, now to recreate the magic at home. Can’t recommend this enough! So glad we went. (Ran into a couple at a bar that took the class earlier in the day and they reiterated the same)

Chef Ray is the Best!!! - Chef Ray is the best! Fun and educational. Delicious food, too. Learned a lot and enjoyed the time. We purchased a few neat tools that we plan on using in our own kitchen and their Mardi Gras seasoning packet, too.

The highlight of our trip - This class was the highlight of our trip. We learned so much about the history of the food we were making, but also picked up some cooking tips along the way. The fact that we can recreate these recipes at home just makes it even better.

Perfect New Orleans Experience! - This is a wonderful class and Raymond was a terrific teacher. It’s a great way to really experience New Orleans as well as bringing home the best souvenir ever - cooking skills you can recreate at home. I took the class with my 13 year old grandson and he loved it, too. Raymond promised us a great New Orleans meal - and it was. Also appreciated all his extra tips. We leaned a lot. A ++ experience!
