We visited the Mardi Gras School of Cooking in December 2024 and had the pleasure of learning from Chef Erika, who was absolutely wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable. From the moment we arrived until our departure, she was thorough, engaging, and even entertaining! All the food we prepared with her skilled guidance was absolutely delicious, and we learned so much along the way.

This is truly the ultimate cooking class. Chef Erica is a gifted teacher and chef and is able to simplify the complexities of these recipes. The time flew by! I am a trained cook and have been cooking my whole life, and yet Chef Erica dazzled me with new tips and techniques that have elevated my cooking skills. A better, higher quality experience cannot be had! Well worth the price!

I attended Chef Raymond’s Brunch Class and it was fantastic. We began with “Pig Candy” so we had snacks during the class. (Candied bacon with brown sugar and chopped pecans). Chef had wonderful stories, information and tips to elevate the dishes. Perfect grits for Shrimp and Grits, efficient way to peel and clean shrimp, and seasoning magic were addressed. The most challenging task was the hollandaise sauce that topped the crab cake Eggs Benedict. Chef really did a comprehensive sauce demo. We got to do hands on for many o... read more

Conference in New Orleans and my friend and I decided to do the Roux class with Chef Erika. It was the highlight of our trip. We had an amazing 3 hours. Cooking and also the rich history of NOLA was discussed. The food was delicious and now we have new skills. Well worth the cost of this class. And when I visit again I will return for another class. Thank you Chef Erika
