What an amazing experience. Chef David was absolutely the best. We could not have asked for anyone better. His outgoing personality and his knowledge of New Orleans history and the Cajun culture was top notch. The food was incredible. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting this great city. Thank you chef David for a fantastic experience.

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!
