Mardi Gras Cooking Class: A Taste of New Orleans

Get ready to bring the vibrant flavors of Mardi Gras into your kitchen! In this hands-on cooking class, you'll learn how to prepare some of the most beloved dishes from the heart of New Orleans. Our expert chef will guide you step-by-step through traditional recipes, while sharing stories of the rich history and culture behind Mardi Gras.

You’ll cook up classics like:

  • Gumbo: A flavorful stew made with a dark roux, loaded with seafood, sausage, and vegetables, served over rice.
  • Beignets: The ultimate New Orleans dessert—soft, pillowy deep-fried pastries dusted with powdered sugar.

Throughout the class, you'll pick up cooking tips and tricks to recreate these dishes at home, as well as the secrets behind achieving that signature Creole and Cajun flavor balance. Whether you're celebrating Mardi Gras or simply craving some Southern comfort food, this class will bring the spirit of the Big Easy straight to your table.

What to Expect:

  • Hands-on cooking instruction
  • Tasting and sampling of dishes
