Small class with big value! Simon was outstanding, knowledgeable and professional. He answered all our questions and addressed our concerns. It was Important to us that we had an instructor that had experience since we were not novices at macarons. We want other classes now!

This macaron class was amazing from start to finish! Every single technique was explained thoroughly to my understanding. Chef Simon never hesitated to help me and be a great teacher. Highly recommend to all wanting to learn!

Very well prepared - time for a relaxed an fun experience while learning all the necessary tricks and technics to create the perfect croissant. I will most probably be back soon for another patisserie class. Recommended!

Attended: Chocolate Evening Class

This is hands down, the best chocolate making class. I took another class the week before this one and did not like it one bit. I was in a hotel guest area, there was no kitchen and everything was done in disposable utensils. It had a "date night feeling" and was full of ppl drinking alcohol while making chocolate and etc.. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THAT! I got a very thorough look into making chocolate and was able to ask all the questions I had. The best part - I was in an industrial kitchen and got to see how the pros make chocolate.

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!
