What is the secret to a real Cajun gumbo? In New Orleans, the answer starts with a perfect roux — and the Hands-On Cajun Roux Cooking Class teaches you to make it yourself in the heart of the French Quarter. With a 4.97-star rating from hundreds of reviews, this small, intimate class at the Mardi Gras School of Cooking feels less like a lesson and more like a dinner party with friends.
From the moment you arrive, the chefs welcome you into their kitchens with personality and humor. You will roll up your sleeves, learn the building blocks of Cajun and Creole cooking, and then sit down to enjoy the meal you helped create. Classes are small and hands-on, so everyone gets personal attention — the kind of delicious experience that turns visitors into lifelong fans of Louisiana food.
The class is easy to fit into any trip: it takes place right in the French Quarter, and sessions run with a minimum of two people — solo travelers can simply join an already scheduled class. Prices start at $164 per person, and everything you cook and learn is included in one unforgettable evening.
