New Orleans School of Cooking

The New Orleans School of Cooking teaches Cajun and Creole cooking through hands-on classes, demonstration classes and lab classes, with gumbo, jambalaya, pralines and beignets among the dishes students learn to make. Founded in 1980, the school also offers a Storyville Museum package and private events for groups, including team building and corporate outings.

Classes run for individuals, couples, groups and families, and the school also offers kids culinary camps and live virtual Zoom classes. The school is in a renovated early 1800s molasses warehouse on St. Louis Street in the French Quarter, and its Louisiana General Store sells local products. Parking, timing and what to expect are covered in the school's FAQ.
