Master the zesty flavors of New Orleans in this hands-on cooking class. Chef Vivian will teach you traditional Creole cooking techniques and inspire you with fresh flavor pairings and useful culinary tips.
Begin by preparing a Louisiana favorite: gumbo with smoked andouille sausage. If you’re brave, drizzle the dish in hot sauce, just like the locals. Next, create a tender pecan-crusted chicken with a savory Creole sauce and crunchy fried okra. End your meal by baking a warm and comforting sweet bread pudding. These classic Creole dishes will quickly become favorites in your home!

Chef Vivian was so entertaining and inviting. She was knowledgeable of the history of the food and gave tips about cooking the dishes on a regular stove top at home. She made my boyfriend's birthday so wonderful and that was the highlight of his weekend. This is great for date night!!! You will not be disappointed!

Chef Vivian started her class with showing me how to properly cut the ingredients. She was a great teacher and made sure to inform me of the safety precautions when chopping. The dish she showed me was shrimp creole. I cannot wait to create this dish again.
With over 40 years of culinary experience, Chef Vivian is well-versed in an impressive variety of cuisines. She has studied culinary arts in France, Italy, Spain and Africa, and has perfected the art of cooking New Orleans and French cuisines. Having owned a farm in North Carolina, Chef Vivian is adept at using fresh, hyper-local ingredients in her cooking. With a doctorate degree in educational leadership, Chef Vivian is eager to spread her passion for all things culinary and to help any home chef get confident in the kitchen.
