Afterward, tour the 19th-century home with your host while the final touches on your lunch or dinner are completed.

The menu varies according to the season and availability, but dishes may include fresh seafood gumbo, seared salmon salad, crawfish pasta, baked oysters with bacon, Gulf shrimp topped with rémoulade, pecan pie, praline cookies and more. You can take home the recipes at the end of class.
