Overview

We are the only Cooking School that does small, intimate hands-on classes in the French Quarter. Classes are more like a dinner party with friends. Our class size ranges from 2 people to 10. (For parties of 8 or more, a 20% gratuity is added.) Larger groups, up to 40 people, are welcome, too.

Inclusions

  • Dinner
  • Alcoholic Beverages
  • Soda/Pop
  • Bottled water

What to expect

You’ll begin the class by learning the best kept secrets for authentic New Orleans cooking. We begin by discovering the importance of the Cajun Holy Trinity, and start cutting and prepping to make the best New Orleans cuisine you’ve ever tasted.
Once the Cajun Holy Trinity is all chopped, we will take a break and get our first glass of wine. Mise en place (everything in its place), we start the Dark Roux for the gumbo. After the gumbo, we start the light Roux for the Shrimp Etouffee. After properly plating your meal, it's time to dine.
The last part of the class, (and possibly your favorite) will include teaching you how to make Bananas Foster. Yum! We’ll show you a fool-proof way to make this dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family.

The Roux class with Chef Mark was amazing! The relaxed atmosphere made for an incredibly fun and informative class which resulted in some of the best food we’ve ever tasted! We are already planning our next trip back to take another class!

I took this class with my 25 year old daughter and we both agreed that it was the highlight of our trip to New Orleans. Chef Mark was very entertaining as well as being an excellent teacher. The gumbo, étouffée and bananas foster were so delicious and filling. Fun was had by all!

I have cooked Gumbo for years. I was hoping I learned at least one thing new. I learned about a dozen. I had a wonderful time. The food we made was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Roux class. I may be going back for the Jambalaya class as well.

Mark is AMAZING! He is passionate about history, food and teaching both! My husband and I are sponges for history and food so it was a perfect fit! The hands on experience was so much more fun than the demonstration type cooking school experience. The gumbo, shrimp etouffee and bananas foster...
