New Orleans Classe de Cozinha e Cocktail Walking Tour

We were in NOLA for a work-related conference and arrived a day early. We had so much fun with this experience…. More than we thought it may be. Chef Alex was phenomenal! He was engaging with the history of NOLA and the origin of the foods. And, the best part was eating everything he prepared! I love that I am heading home with recipes and will definitely be cooking these at home.

Very enjoyable . Cooking mixed with the history of the region. The dishes were fantastic! The cooking demonstration was easy to follow . I am anxious to make them with my friends!

If you are interested in learning a bit about New Orleans history and the difference between Creole and Cajun cooking this is the tour for you!

I had the best time, I flew from London and head chef was so welcoming and everyone else was amazing.

Very fun learn alot about the cooking process and got to know about New Orleans city during walking cocktail tour 10/10!

The chef brings much fun to learning the secrets of Creole cooking. I've made gumbo for years from a New Orleans cookbook. After this class, I am ready to approach it again with some tips to make it even better. The cocktail walking tour was laid-back with Val, the guide, offering some additional tidbits on New Orleans' drinks and drinking establishments. This is two offerings booked at once that are back-to-back. The hand-off from one to the other did not work well. I felt rushed from the cooking class as it was going slightly over, and I had no word on how I was to meet the guide for the cocktail tour.

The cooking demonstration was amazing food was so delicious the chef was funny and a awesome cook his partner she was so kind so loving.,

They just cancelled at the last minute. I think the partnership with the cooking school and gray line was a problem. I had no notice showed up for cooking school and it was cancelled.

My friends and I were here for a bachelorette trip & we had so much fun! Chef Cindy brought a lot of character to the class and taught us a lot of history of the food. Kim was our walking tour agent and we quickly started calling her our Bach mom because she was so much fun and very informative. It was really cool to see the back of some of the bars and places that we probably would not have ended up otherwise. Highly recommend this experience!

The New Orleans School of Cooking class was excellent! The instructor Michael was a wealth of information on the city, the food, and especially, the CULTURE, which we really appreciated. The gumbo was the best we'd had, the pasta William was super tasty, and the fresh pralines were amazing! We left feeling very well fed and well informed. So why the 3-star review? The cocktail walking tour was a disappointment. The description when we signed up said that there were 3 cocktails included, but in reality, there were only 2 cocktails included. We made 4 cocktail stops in total and for the money that was spent on the cocktail part of the tour, it was ridiculous to have to pay out-of-pocket for half the cocktails on the tour. Also, the guide did not wait for the entire group to assemble in front of a particular landmark before giving her narration, which was rude TBH since it wasn't that big a group. All in all, it seemed like Gray Line cobbled together 2 tours and charged too much for it. Tip: Sign up for the NOLA School of Cooking class on their website (the cost was less than half the price of this tour) and skip the cocktail "tour" altogether.
