Loved the class! Chef Stephanie was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned lots of macaroon secrets that I’ll definitely be using in the future. She was also very flexible with our scheduling issue.

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.

Our class with Chef Stephanie was outstanding! Very knowledgeable, friendly and inviting. She gave us some tips that you won't know or find unless you learn directly from someone with her vast experience. Oh and our macarons were beautiful and delicious as well! We can't wait to try to make them ourselves.

Chef Stephanie was an excellent hostess and she was well prepared as you would expect from a consummate professional. She did a fantastic job explaining the steps of her preparation and cooking process while showing us how to make the cookies and ganache. We even had the opportunity to participate in parts of the preparation and sample the finished product. I would definitely recommend her class to anyone interested in a cooking or pastry class. Thank you again Stephanie!

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!

This class made eclairs and cream puffs so easy to make. She taught us a lot of fo tips and tricks on how to make the perfect desserts in under two hours. She always has some prepared ahead of time for us to try and she is the best at making the experience hands-on and fun.
