I would highly recommend. My son 8 went to the intermediate five day camp and loved it. He learned how to cook soooo much stuff. Teacher Preston had them able to even make a roux. I’m so impressed and looking to have him do it again.

Our Chef Didier was so knowledgeable and personable. We loved that this class was hands on and we learned and then did it.

We de-headed and peeled shrimp. We made a dark roux for the gumbo and light roux for the etouffee.

Wow! What an incredible experience. We did the Roux cooking class and our chef Preston was amazing! Very knowledgeable and made the class so much fun. Delicious food and all you can drink beer, wine, and soda. Such a fun intimate experience. I’m so glad we decided to go with the Mardi Gras school of cooking. Can’t wait to visit again and take another class.

We absolutely loved our cooking experience at Mardi Gras School of Cooking! Chef Connor was great and our food was delicious! We learned new techniques that we’ll be able to implement into a variety of recipes. We’ll definitely be booking another class when we return to NO.
