Thank you, Chef Chris, for making this a memorable time for our family! We already used what we learned to make an incredible remoulade sauce for dinner a few nights later. Book your class today! You won’t be di... read more

Mark and his team designed an experience that felt personal and intimate (and safe!), above everything else, fun. We cooked, we laughed, we learned about some of the rich history of cooking in New Orleans. It was a uniquely fun ex... read more
