Free Community Cooking Classes

At the Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine in New Orleans, LA, we are dedicated to empowering our community through free cooking classes that combine culinary skills with nutrition education. Our state-of-the-art teaching kitchen is where you can join fellow participants and learn from experienced chefs and medical students from the Tulane School of Medicine. Our programs include a series of adult classes designed for all skill levels that teach simple and healthy cooking techniques alongside flavorful recipes. Committed attendees can engage in six two-hour sessions that focus on practical cooking skills and convenience in the home kitchen. For younger aspiring chefs, we offer free children's classes tailored for ages 6-12, introducing them to basic nutrition concepts in a fun, hands-on way. These hour-long classes meet once a week over five weeks, giving kids a chance to create their own treats and take home valuable lessons to share with their families. Whether you’re attending adult classes or accompanying a child, we strive to accommodate different schedules with classes available in the evenings and weekends, all while fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment.
