Scott was very good. The three of us went, and it was pretty much a private class for us. We had a lot of fun. The experience was great, and we had fun. The experience is suitable for beginners and more experienced home cooks.
This was a very enjoyable experience. We did the Sunday brunch and learned to make barbeque shrimp and grits, crescent city eggs tasso, red bean cakes, and bananas foster.
Our instructor was very involved and seemed to thoroughly enjoy what he was doing. He was very informative and took time to answer all questions and gave many tips about the spices and other ingredients.
We also got to eat what he prepared so that was an added treat!
Will definitely recommend this.
We took the 2.5 hour demonstration class and learned how to prepare both Cajun and creole dishes. Not only was our instructor very talented but the dishes he prepared were delicious as the class cost of just $30 includes being able to indulge in the foods prepared during the class. With the class we wee also offered a ten percent discount on store purchases which include some very unique items. Totally worth it!
What is better than to learn how to cook some new dishes with great creole and cajun flavors and get a meal at the same time? Nothing unless it is also during mardi gras! Learned how to get the great flavors of jambalaya, red beans and rice and chicken and andouille gumbo...plus a little praline and some bread pudding with Rum sauce (using Captain Morgan's of course!). We walked away FULL and ready to try our hand at some spicy cooking (plus bought some Camellia's red beans and just a few bottles of spicy sauce!). Tried gumbo file (ground sassafras!) for the first time...it was all good.
Customer service in this quality cooks gift shop is wonderful and they quickly sold us on a cooking class. In the mornings they offer demonstration 2 hour cooking classes and in the afternoons they offer hands on classes. We selected the former and it was delightful, delicious and fun. Shaves (sp?) entertained and informed and after the instruction he fed us the items - gumbo, jambalaya and bread pudding with rum sauce. Yummmmm! They also let us taste their very own pralines that are, without a doubt the best in the city.
We participated in the hands on class with 8 students. Great instructors and great food. We prepared individual pecan pies, BBQ shrimp and chicken étouffée. They provided wine and beer (after the knives were put away) and other drinks throughout the class. We prepped all of the ingredients, got lessons about proper cutting techniques, and Cajun versus Creole cooking. Lasted about 3 hours and was a perfect way to learn about the food we've been eating while in NOLA. Finished by eating all of our creations with to-go boxes.
