If you want to taste Atlanta and not just see it, this is the 1.5-hour experience to book.
The Southern Essentials Cooking Class is a 1.5-hour, hands-on cooking experience that introduces you to three dishes that define Southern comfort and Atlanta flavor: flaky, buttery biscuits, classic homemade pimento cheese, and refreshingly sweet iced tea.

This isn’t a demo you watch from the sidelines. You’ll roll, mix, stir, and sip your way through the foundations of Southern cooking while learning why these dishes matter, and why they’ve been passed down through generations of Atlanta kitchens. Along the way, you’ll pick up easy techniques, local food stories, and insider tips you can actually recreate back home.

Perfect for first-time visitors, food lovers, couples, families, and anyone looking for an authentic Atlanta experience beyond museums and monuments. It’s quick, fun, interactive, and delicious.
