We took the roux class and Chef Mark was our instructor. Chef Mark was great! He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Each couple had their own pot/pan and made gumbo, étouffée, and bananas foster. The environment is professional, yet relaxed. We felt comfortable and asked any questions we had. We will return for another class here when we are in NOLA. I highly recommend this cooking school. Thanks for a great class! We feel confident we can succeed in making our own dishes with roux as the base!

He is an excellent teacher of not only technique and cooking style but of the history behind the food. He is also a warm and engaging human who you can't help but connect with during the class.

My sister and I took the Creole cooking class with Chef Preston, who was both professional and easy going. Everything was extremely well organized and prepped. Preston was very good at passing on tips and tricks for cooking which were very helpful. We were able to prepare a delicious lunch and take back the leftovers. We really enjoyed our time and learned something! My only suggestion for improvement: please provide a printed copy of the recipes at the start of the class. I like to write notes directly on the recipes so I ... read more
