Cooking Class?

Very few in-person, casual cooking classes are content-dense or technically focused. Most are set up for socialization, hanging out, etc. But I'd call the place and ask--I'm sure the provider could give you an idea of the rigor/content.

YouTube videos and 10 lbs of potatoes, 5 lbs of onions, and a bag of carrots....spend a few mornings chopping, make some mashed potatoes, onion soup, etc. out of the practice.

Is it this one at Louisiana Culinary Institute?

Knife Skills with Proteins

Saturday, November 21, 2015 - 2:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Chef Derrick Beverly, CEC, CEPC, ACE, CDM

This class concentrates on the fabrication of different types of proteins, poultry, beef, and fish. If you are looking for ways to cut your grocery budget, this class can lend you a helping hand. Take home fabricated items, and you are required to bring your own knives.

I know that a lot of people use cooking classes for dates and socializing, so it probably isn't very in-depth, but I'm sure it would be fun and I imagine you can still learn some things.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good social cooking class to go to in the Lafayette - BR area? Just looking for a place for 2 or 3 couples to go to learn a simple dish and drink a couple glasses of wine?

Both Ruffino's do something like that, but I think they've wrapped up for this calendar year.
