Description:

Hey, all you wanna-be chefs out there, check out the New Orleans School of Cooking, located right here in the heart of the French Quarter. It has classes for all levels of talent and interest, and is a great way to learn about the history and basics of cooking famous Louisiana dishes, such as gumbo and jambalaya.

The school is housed in a renovated molasses warehouse and offers entertaining Demonstration classes in the morning or afternoon where you can learn about the history of our cuisine, while watching an experienced chef make various dishes. Hands-On Classes allow you to take part in preparing a complete dinner, and then sit down and enjoy it! Prices range from $28-$32 for the Demonstration classes to $139 for a Hands-On class.

Also on site is the Louisiana General Store, a collection of locally sourced ingredients used in the school. Included are a full line of Cajun and Creole products, cookbooks, cookware and spices.

Store hours: Monday – Saturday, 9;00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.; Sunday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Stop by, sign up for a class, or do a little shopping, and you can take a taste of New Orleans home with you!
