      General Info
      CompanyThe New Orleans Cooking Experience is dedicated to the wonders of the Louisiana kitchen and the pleasures of the table. We offer cooking vacations, half-day, private and special event classes to visitors and local New Orleanians. The highly personalized classes focus on authentic Creole cooking. Regular classes are limited to ten, and include instruction, recipes, wines and conclude with a multi-course dinner party. Special event classes are available for groups of ten to 60+. The cuisine is classic Creole New Orleans plus a little Cajun, and classes are taught on residential equipment so that students will be able to reproduce the recipes at home.Frank Brigtsen graciously agreed to create the course curriculum for the New Orleans Cooking Experience and teaches classes on a regular basis.
