RecommendedThe Brunch Cooking Class was AMAZING! The six of us gathered around Chef Preston as he taught us how to make the worlds best shrimp and grits and then, Crab Cake Benedict!

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

Chef David was an outstanding instructor. Our class was educational and entertaining at the same time. We enjoyed the cooking experience and the historical education. The fact that they were able to accommodate our gluten allergy and allow us to cook the same recipes as everyone else was so very much appreciated. I would recommend the Mardi Gras School of Cooking to everyone!

Thanks for your great review, Courtney! Glad to hear that you're enjoying the recipes. Bon appétit!
My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the roux cooking class at The Mardi Gras School of Cooking. The space is well appointed, clean, and Chef Mark Falgoust was knowledable, fun, and personable. The hands on class with four was entertaining and included history, cooking techniques, and local restaurant recommendations. The food was delicious. We made chicken and andouille sausage gumbo using a dark roux, shrimp étouffée using a peanut butter colored medium roux, and bananas foster. We highly recommend this class.
We spent our last evening taking a foundations class; our only regret was not booking on our first or second night in town so we could have done more classes or had known what good Creole food could really be like. Chef Mark gave us great cooking tips- from teaching how to hold the knife correctly, how to chop an onion without tears, to the correct ratios for the Creole Trinity. We had a blast, meet great people and the food was the best Creole we had all week if not ever. Will definitely be back on our next trip.
