Hi team, our class was enjoyable, but we did not get what we paid for. We did not make the dessert portion of the class and were let out 30 minutes early.

The French Pastries for Fall should have been a great time to learn about making laminated dough and making palmiers and kouign-amann. It seemed as if Chef Jocelyn had never made these pastries before and hadn’t bothered to practice ahead of time. Correctly pronouncing the pastries being made in class could have been accomplished with a quick internet search and the directions given to fold the dough for palmiers was completely incorrect even though she was reading from the printed instructions that were correct. We were told to cut the dough into strips and then form a heart shape, not at all like the printed instructions or any online search. Making laminated dough was saved to the last of the class and better time management would have made this less rushed and more complete. The reason for taking the class was for technique, however the instructor fell short on preparation and knowledge.
