The Heirloom Cooking School

There’s something special about building something from the ground up—especially when it’s rooted in love for community, food, and tradition. This fall, we're thrilled to introduce the next chapter in the Heirloom story: The Heirloom Cooking School, opening inside the beautiful Heirloom Hotel in the heart of historic downtown Laurel, Mississippi.

This has truly been a labor of love—years in the making—and we can't wait to finally share it with all of you. Set against the backdrop of our beloved small town, this space will offer so much more than just cooking classes. It’s a gathering place. A celebration of Southern heritage. A place to learn, laugh, and make memories around the table.

At the Heirloom Cooking School, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated lineup of classes focused on Southern recipes, seasonal cooking, and timeless kitchen skills. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just learning to boil water, there’s something here for everyone. And it’s not just for individual learning—we're creating a space that’s perfect for date nights, girls’ weekends, private events, team-building workshops, and more.

We’ve poured our hearts into designing a space that’s as beautiful as it is functional—with warm wood, classic finishes, and just the right touch of Southern charm.

As the opening day draws closer, we’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes peeks, sneak previews of upcoming classes, and ways to reserve your spot. Until then, we hope you’ll share in our excitement and start dreaming of your next gathering around the kitchen island.

Downtown Laurel just keeps getting sweeter—and we’re honored to be a part of it.
