ニューオーリンズでの体験型ケイジャン・ルー料理教室

My daughter and I took the Roux class at Mardi Gras School of Cooking with Chef Sassy, and it was such a fabulous time! Chef Sassy has this laid-back, friendly energy that made the whole class feel relaxed and fun, not intimidating at all. She didn’t just teach us the roux — she threw in extra tips and tricks along the way, including her method for never-fail rice. We went straight home, tried it, and she was right — best rice we’ve ever made! It was such a great bonding experience for my daughter and me, and we walked away with real skills we’re already using at home. As a bonus, it feels wonderful to support a small, women-owned business doing such a great job. We can’t wait to come back for another class — highly recommend, especially if you get Chef Sassy!

This is a fabulous class. While we are foodservice professionals, we were impressed with all the techniques we were taught. We didnt want to leave. We wanted to take all the classes but we couldn't make the time. Next time, for sure!

My son and I enjoyed every second of the cooking adventure! The hands on experience was great. The chef Mark was funny, knowledge and just simply amazing! I would book this cooking experience again!

The best way to take New Orleans home with you is to learn how to cook the food! Chef Barry was fantastic. Will do this again and again till I know all the recipes. Worth every penny!!!

Very great family, friend or spouse activity! Conner was our chef and he was excellent! So detailed and we are experienced cooks and had some great takeaways from this experience. Such an interactive class of sharing with other guests and best of all; this is the best meal we’ve had in New Orleans since we’ve been here. We truly, truly enjoyed this experience. Thank you!

Learned a lot preparing a great meal! Thanks Conner!

Ray was awesome and the food we cooked was very delicious. We plan to go back and take another class with Ray. He took us step by step through all the necessary steps. Ray is very personable and there was never a dull moment. He also provide some tips to improve our everyday cooking.

Had a great time, lots of new ways to make food taste delicious. Generous helpings of deliciousness.

I have never gone to a Cooking Class before, but I will go to all of them, if they were half as good as this one. Chef Raymond was outstanding! His personality along with his skills in the kitchen, were unbeatable. I'm ready to make everything we learned - Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, Shrimp Etoufee and Bananas Foster. PS. I will be making Shrimp Etoufee and Bananas Foster this weekend!!!!

We had such a great experience at Mardi Gras School of Cooking! My husband and I took the roux class with Chef Ray, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We made gumbo and étouffée, and while we enjoyed the étouffée, Chef Ray treated us to a fun Bananas Foster demonstration. The class was easy enough for my husband, who never cooks, but still engaging and informative for me as a high school Culinary Arts teacher. Chef Ray didn’t just teach recipes — he shared techniques and tips that can improve your cooking in general, all while keeping everyone laughing with stories throughout the class. I highly recommend taking a class here on your next trip to New Orleans. It would also make a perfect date night or fun outing with friends for locals!
