Our Classes

Our New Orleans Cooking Experience classes are small, spirited and fun.

We teach authentic Creole cuisine with a dash of Cajun.  Our highly personalized cooking classes focus on the techniques of creating Louisiana food, as well as the history and culture of our region.

Half Day Classes: $150 per person
In each class at our cooking school we create a four-course meal.  This generally includes between five and eight recipes per class.  Cooking classes are limited to ten students, and set in a small, intimate atmosphere for maximum interaction with our teaching chefs.  The teaching portion of class lasts about 2 ½ hours with the students joining the chef around our teaching island.

Following class we sit down to enjoy our four-course meal with a lively dinner party.  Class fees include instruction, a complete recipe packet, wine service for the duration of class and the meal, and all taxes and gratuities.   

Fee: Our class rate is $150 per person. 
We also have group discounts for three or more and both demonstration and hands-on classes are available.

Immersion Series
The New Orleans Cooking Experience offers cooking class series – four day, three day and two day series.  There is one class scheduled each day and students do not have to take the classes on sequential dates, but may spread them over a week, a month or a year if they choose.

Fees:  Four classes, $560.  Three classes, $420.  Two classes, $290.
Fees reflect special pricing through Winter, 2007.

Unforgettable Private Cooking Classes and Events

Join us for a private cooking experience just about any day of the week. The New Orleans Cooking Experience is a spectacular setting for birthdays, anniversaries, business entertaining, girl friend getaways, and other special occasions.

  • Customized menus for both lunch and dinners offered in our residential teaching kitchen and private dining room
  • For groups of 13-80, please go to our Group section

Other Classes and Discounts:

If you would like to purchase several classes we have discount rates:

  • 2 Classes $290
  • 3 Classes $420
  • 4 Classes $560

Four class series are usually purchased by local and regional students who spread their classes over a longer period of time. We have found that our guests enjoy their cooking experience more when they limit their classes to two days in a row and then take a day or two off before resuming class. After all, there is much to see, do and eat in while you are in New Orleans.

 

Gift Certificates

Are available for all programs and are valid for one year from the date of giving. The gift of cooking is a great way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, holiday or wedding.
