Learned how to make roux - I learned a lot about New Orleans cooking that I will take home with me. Raymond was a knowledgeable and patient teacher. The kitchen is very nice and clean. And the food was delicious

Come Hungry!! - I thought this would be something fun and "different" for my husband and I to do on our most recent visit to NOLA. We cooked with Chef Mark (100% recommend him if you can choose), and he keep it educational and entertaining, but also laidback. The 3-hour class goes by in a flash, and I promise you will leave full of delicious food, with some great recipes, and if you're lucky- a few leftovers. I would consider myself a bit of a cajun food snob, but this class exceeded my expectations in every way... top notch!! Hope we can come back next time we are in town :)

Gumbo, Etouffee & Banana Foster - NOLA Style! - We had an amazing experience. Mark was our chef and he was absolutely incredible. He was very knowledgeable and gave us several cooking tips for each meal. It was my birthday and he helped to make the day even more special!

Fun for all :) - Our team had an incredible time taking the "Roux Class" during our offsite—it was the perfect blend of fun, learning, and collaboration. Even the most experienced cooks on our team picked up new tips and techniques, which added to the excitement. The hands-on experience brought everyone together and made for plenty of laughs and memorable moments. It was undoubtedly the highlight of our team-building activities, and our entire week in New Orleans. Chef Erika, Tracy, and Marcella were a joy to work with.

Randy was great! - Great to experience - learned a lot and Randy was a great educator- tough times around New Years 2024 NOLA and everyone made the best of a tragic situation outside the teaching kitchen. Would not hesitate to recommend the class!

Mark was great! - If you are in the fence, do it!!! We brought our 12 & 8 year olds & had a fantastic time!! I really appreciate Mark’s patience - my youngest was extra exhausted & he was a pro! He truly shared the art of cooking with all of us!!
