Bold spices, soulful flavor, and a whole lot of fun—experience the taste of Louisiana in this hands-on Cajun cooking class!

Step into the spirit of New Orleans, where the kitchen is lively, the ingredients are bold, and every dish tells a story. You’ll learn the secrets behind some of the most flavorful Southern favorites while cooking side by side with others in our warm, welcoming Rockford kitchen.

Whether you’re new to Cajun cooking or looking to expand your skills, this class offers a flavorful deep-dive into the heart of Louisiana cuisine.

On the menu:

Shrimp Étouffée
Corn Maque Choux
Beignets 

Our chef will guide you through each dish, sharing culinary tips and Cajun traditions that bring this cuisine to life. You’ll leave with new skills, full bellies, and all the recipes to recreate the magic at home.

Come solo, with a partner, or grab a group of friends—this class is made for food lovers, fun seekers, and anyone ready to spice up their Friday night.

Allergen modifications for the cooking class are available when timely notice is given. Please fill out the checkout questionnaire, or email [email protected] at least one week prior to the cooking class with notes.
