The Mardi Gras School of Cooking

Most people arrive as guests. They leave as storytellers.

For over three decades, steps from Jackson Square in the heart of the French Quarter, we have handed down something that cannot be packaged or replicated — the living culinary tradition of New Orleans, passed from chef to guest one cast iron pan at a time.

Starting from $150 per person, your group cooks together through two signature Creole or Cajun entrées and a dessert, guided by our expert chefs in an immersive 2.5 to 3 hour hands-on experience. Every detail is included — the instruction, the feast, the stories, and the spirit of a city that seasons everything it touches.

And when the cooking is done, the celebration is just beginning. 

Customize your experience with: 

• second line parade
• rooftop reception
• grazing stations
• champagne or Bloody Mary bar
• beer and wine pairings
• mobile photo booth 
• custom branding 

--everything you need to turn a great meal into an unforgettable event.

This is not a cooking class. This is New Orleans, served from scratch.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
