Your chef will keep you entertained from start to finish while demonstrating how to prepare classic New Orleans dishes such as gumbo, jambalaya, and pralines. Along the way, you’ll learn the basics of Louisiana cooking, discover the spices and techniques that make the cuisine so distinctive, and hear the history, tall tales, and colorful stories behind each dish.

After the cooking demonstration, enjoy a generous lunch featuring the dishes prepared in class, served with lemonade, iced tea, and beer. You’ll also take home the recipes so you can recreate the experience and show off your new skills to friends and family.
