Chef Olivier Dessyn

Teaches at Mille-Feuille Bakery

Pastry is Olivier's life-long passion. Ten years ago, he spent a year at the famous Ritz Cooking School in Paris. There he learnt with the best French chefs how to make delicious pastry for the greatest pleasure of his family and friends! His first great challenge in the field was to prepare all the desserts at his own wedding (marvelous fine cakes and macarons for more than 150 people!) in lovely town St-Malo on the Brittany coast. During a trip to New York City in 2009, while they were expecting their second child,Olivier and his wife fell in love with this incredible city. This is where their project was born: a French style bakery with the homely and welcoming atmosphere of a Village café that would offer French and American pastries with a fine taste, using all-natural products – a combination of the French touch with American openness.

    Class was super detailed and fun. It did run 40 mins over, but it wasn't an issue!

    Great class, and you learn a lot, but necessary shortcuts because of the sheer length of the process in real life - three days. Still, it would have been nice to mix the cream ingredients ourselves. I would still highly recommend.

    I think the class to be just with 8 people. The chef was very good at explaining what needs to be done. We gets to hand on rolling and folding throughout the class. very engaged. last but not least the croissant came out really perfect (maybe not in the chef's opinion).. !!

    This was a great class! Loved that it was a small class. Olivier was so nice and helpful. I learned so much. I would highly recommend taking this class if you want to learn how to make them the way they're supposed to be made!

    Loved this class! M. Dessyn was a very good teacher. Macarons can be quite tricky in a home kitchen but I believe I now have the confidence and skill to give them a try. The bakery itself is lovely and the space where the class held comfortable and more than adequate in size.
