This French Breads baking class was my Mother’s Day gift to my mom and we had a great time with Chef Stephanie! :) Not only was it so cool to have a chef from the country of the cuisine, Chef Stephanie was very welcoming into her home, friendly, and encouraging during the class. Highly recommend! :)

My wife is a great home baker, but she's always been a little gunshy when it comes to macarons. I took her to Chef Stephanie's kitchen (we booked together so I could learn a little too!), and had a terrific time. Chef is an excellent teacher - explanations were clear and organized, and full of smart "hacks" that resonated both with my wife, an experienced baker, and with me, a novice. We enjoyed hearing about her French upbringing and her professional journey as much as we enjoyed tasting our macarons at the end of the session. And my wife is looking forward to replicating her experience at home! Thanks!

Chef Stephanie's French Bread class was very educational, and we had such a good time. She was patient and very informative. I enjoyed the hands-on portion as well as the treats she had available for us. We will definitely take the skills she taught us and make our own breads at home. 10/10 experience! We plan to book another course with her in the future.

I loved Chef Stephanie's cooking class! She is a great teacher and keeps an organized & clean kitchen. She taught us how to make two bread recipes & how to shape our bread into baguettes, epi, fougasse and several knots for our milk bread dough. We made dough and followed the steps until it was ready to bake, then baked it to perfection and got to enjoy sampling it! I would definitely take another class that she is offering.

Me and my father went to learn how to make macaroons and it was a amazing experience. Mrs. Stephanie gave lots tips and tricks on how to master the piping, and how long it would need to be cooked for. She also showed us how to make truffles with the remainder of the gnash. The macaroons where amazing and perfect. They tasted as if I was lifted into the air and resting on clouds. I loved every second of it.

Chef Stephanie was amazing! I learned so much. My one issue was the course description. It said it was a hands on cooking class and while we were able to pipe the macarons onto the pan and pipe the fillings, we didn’t actually create the batter or ganaches which was what I really wanted to do first hand.

Took the Macaroon class as a family outing with our 9 year old daughter. Chef Stephanie made this difficult dessert as easy as possible. She answered all of our questions and was able to show us techniques on getting the proper textures and consistency to prevent certain issues macaroons present. It was very enjoyable, will use her again, and would highly recommend Chef Stephanie for all ages and little aspiring chefs.

Chef Stephanie was the perfect teacher for French macarons, something my boyfriend had been wanting to make himself for years. Her patient, show-then-practice technique made the experience fun and took the intimidation factor out of it. Her personality was incredibly charming and comforting. She provided thorough recipes, tons of important tips and tricks, and a delicious product. Her life experiences and love and dedication to her craft make her an excellent teacher and chef whom we'll be back to see for other great classes. We can't recommend her more!
