This is a great hands on class for all levels. I took it with a friend who makes her own bread from scratch, while I rarely bake at all, and we both enjoyed the class. We worked in teams of 3-4 people but everyone got a chance to participate in each step. The instructors were creative in managing to fit a several hour process into 3 hours. And best of all we all left with a few delicious croissants to impress our friends (or eat ourselves!). Merçi beaucoup!

Attended: Couple Date night: French Macaron Class

Course was canceled at the last minute as there wasn't enough attendees. We were so looking forward to it. Have agreed to a new date with the host, hopefully it doesn't happen again.

We all had a wonderful time. Chef Jennifer was a terrific instructor. I liked the way she was able to relate to all the students. Chef Simon is also a great teacher of desserts. We all want to participate in other classes. Thanks so much for your thoughtful care and expertise. Anne Rowe

Extremely fortunate to learn from such a knowledge and experience pastry chef. I will definitely never forget this class. My wife and I had a blast and the croissants turned out wonderfully!

Fun class, Chef Simon is witty and shares all his tricks & tips. I highly suggest anyone who loves or is visiting to take this class.

Attended: Couple Date night: French Macaron Class

Such a fun night! We would have preferred to be more hands on for every step. There were a fair number of people in the class, so not everyone got to take a stab at each part of the recipe. Other than that, we had a great time! Chef Simon and his assistant were knowledgeable and very fun, we definitely learned a lot. We would love to take another class with them.

Attended: Couples Date Night: Chocolate Evening Class

We had a wonderful time with Chef Simon! There was lots of opportunity to get hands on experience making chocolate pastries. The recipes were all delicious, and when all was said and done, we got to go home with a large amount of chocolate.

For some reason, (and I take full responsibility,) I thought the class began at 7! I arrived at 6:30, and was told it was 5. I wished I could have joined at least for the last part of the class, which was what I wanted to learn in the first place, tarts. But that was denied to me. So, the whole experience was a colossal disappointment
