Share Event

Experience the authentic flavors of New Orleans in this energetic and engaging cooking class.

This NOLA-themed cooking class is the next best thing to a trip down to the bayou. Chef Nyjal is ready to take you on a culinary journey through New Orleans cuisine, with a menu that's loaded with classic dishes from the Big Easy. You'll start with savory hush puppies served with fried okra, before making an authentic shrimp and grits, followed by a classic crab cake. No New Orleans meal is complete without beignets, so you'll whip up a batch of the classic pillowy donuts to round out your experience.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

We had such a great experience with Chef Nyjal! We learned a lot of different skills during the class that we will be able to use daily when cooking. The menu was great and the food came out delicious.

Our experience with Chef Nyjal was terrific. He came prepared with all the necessary ingredients. He was patient and clear in his instructions. Everything we made (from the eclairs to the bananas foster) was delicious. It was an excellent activity for the family to do together. We enjoyed it immensely. I do recommend him to anyone interested.

I am not a cook. Chef Nyjal kept things simple and gave great advice in regard to prep and purchase of ingredients. My guest and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience will look to do additional classes in the future.
