NOLA COOKING CLASS: Step into a charming 1911 New Orleans home, once part of the Dunbar plantation, for a private cooking or mixology experience with Gianna. Begin your gumbo-making class with a Sazerac in hand and a seasonal snack in her elegant parlour. Next, Gianna will guide you through the fascinating history of gumbo - its origins, evolution, and the influences that shaped it - while exploring the key differences between Cajun and Creole styles. Roll up your sleeves and learn the art of making a roux, the essential base for a flavourful gumbo, before adding the perfect combination of meats and vegetables to create this iconic dish. You will also learn to make a fresh salad and seasonal dessert and share the meal you helped create with Gianna at her dining table. NOLA MIXOLOGY CLASS: If you choose this tour, you will discover the art of classic New Orleans cocktails with local expert Gianna in her historic New Orleans home. Learn to craft three iconic drinks like the Sazerac, Gin Fizz, and Mint Julep, all paired with delicious local snacks like toasted pecans, cheese straws, and fried okra. A perfect way to sip, savour, and experience NOLA’s rich cocktail culture.
