New Orleans Cooking Class: Louisiana Recipes & WineYou spend three hours cooking an authentic Louisiana meal alongside an expert chef in a small group, with wine and beer included throughout. You choose your menu (bisque or gumbo, shrimp and grits or jambalaya, bananas foster or pralines), do all the prep and cooking yourself, then sit down and eat what you've made. You leave with your apron, printed recipes, and the ability to actually make these dishes at home.Is it for me?Book this if you want to actually learn how to cook Louisiana food rather than just taste it, and you'd rather spend three hours in a kitchen with a real chef and a small group than watch a video at home. The hands-on format and the meal at the end are what make it stick.
New Orleans: Hands-On Cajun Cooking Class French QuarterYou’ll slip into a real French Quarter kitchen for hands-on Cajun cooking with local chefs—think barbecue shrimp, jambalaya, and chocolate bread pudding. Expect laughter over chopping boards, stories behind every recipe, drinks flowing easily, and that feeling you get when strangers start to feel like friends.
New Orleans Food Walking Tour and Cooking Class: French QuarterA 5.5-hour food walking tour and cooking class in New Orleans combines 6-7 tastings through the French Quarter with a hands-on cooking demonstration at New Orleans School of Cooking. The guide leads you through historic food venues, then you watch and learn to prepare Louisiana dishes including gumbo, jambalaya, bread pudding, pralines and biscuits with molasses, served with local Abita beer and refreshments. Minors may attend with a parent or guardian present.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you want to taste the quarter's most-visited food spots and then learn the recipes in a working kitchen on the same day—the walking portion gives you the context, and the cooking class gives you the technique and a full meal. It's built as a small group, so you're not navigating a crowd, and the guide's knowledge ties the food to the city's history as you move through it.
