Which cooking school - Cookin Cajun or The NO School of Cooking?

Hey! Here is some current New Orleans cooking school information. I was in New Orleans in October 2006 and took a half day cooking class from "New Orleans Cooking Experience" WOW! The class was fantastic! The chef Chiqui was well informed and personable. They have other chefs, too. Frank Brigtsen teaches occasionally, he is a mentor for them. It was $150 per person, well worth it! I even learned how to make a roux in no time flat! I used it for the base for the most amazing turkey gravy this thanksgiving. We also made BBQ Shrimp, crab bisque, pecan crusted catfish and bread pudding! These people are just sweet hearts! Things are finally getting busy again after Katrina. They are located in the house on Bayou Road which is a historic Bed & Breakfast. I called quite a few of the other cooking schools and they seemed like okay, we'll give you information on "how to", but New Orleans Cooking Experience is an amazing EXPERIENCE! I just can't express how the whole thing touched my heart!
