Step into a delicious slice of New Orleans culture at the New Orleans School of Cooking, nestled in the heart of the French Quarter at 524 St. Louis Street. Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century molasses warehouse, this vibrant destination invites visitors of all skill levels to dive into the flavors, stories, and traditions of Louisiana cuisine.

Whether you choose to sit back and watch a lively demonstration or roll up your sleeves in a hands-on class, you’ll learn how to create iconic dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, and pralines—while your chef shares entertaining tales of Cajun and Creole heritage.  After your lesson, you’ll savor the meal you helped prepare, take home the recipes, and leave with a deeper appreciation for why this city’s food is so special.

Ideal for travelers looking for a flavorful experience, the school also hosts private groups or couples wanting a fun date-oriented class. It’s part cooking class, part cultural crash-course—and entirely memorable.
