We drove from Shreveport to New Orleans and Chef Vivian was not there for my 12 noon class. I had 4 other excited people with me to take the class. I was embarrassed because I had booked this class for us. Disappointed because it didn’t happen. I got confirmation I was booked and received no notice that she would not be there. A long drive for nothing! ?

Chef Vivian is awesome! My friend and I had a wonderful time getting to know her and learning about the history of New Orleans cooking from her. She had everything pre-prepped and was great at walking us through all of the steps of making the food. The food turned out incredible and the whole experience was the highlight of my trip to NOLA! Would definitely recommend taking a class with her!
