This was a birthday present for my fiancee, she loves baking and creating a layer cake would add a new level to her baking. Chef Jean Yves exceeded all expections. He brings 46 years of experience where it's not just about the recipe and measurements but technique and feeling. He is truly a gem!

A truly wonderful experience! I took my 10 year old niece to a chocolate baking class with Chef Jean Yves and she was simply delighted. He was so patient with her and spoke to her like she was a confident adult, rather than a kid.... and in turn, it made her more confident. She was so proud to share what she learned with her parents and loved having the family taste the delicious chocolate torte she made!

I did the lava cake and floorless chocolate cake with my girlfriend. Chef Jean was highly entertaining, and the desserts were delicious (coming from a guy who is picky about sweets). We had a lot of fun with him, and would highly recommend this experience!

Chef Jean Yves was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and attentive to detail. He explained several baking techniques and the reasons behind them. He taught us with humor, which made the class so much fun! Not only did we learn how to make a Bûche de Noël, we also learned how to make a cake carrier from a cardboard box. I would definitely take a class from him again.

Chef Jean Yves was fantastic and humorous. This would be 5/5 except our class was way overbooked. I intended the event to be intimate since it was an anniversary celebration, I booked 3 weeks in advance for this purpose. The maximum number of students should have been 4, but there were 7 of us. Even Chef Jean was confused and perplexed at the situation. He even thought that I only paid for 1 person...which I had not. Note to Cozymeal--please fix this problem otherwise, I would not recommend your platform to anyone.

My girlfriend and I could not be happier about Chef Jean-Yves class. It was like spending time with family. Chef made us feel at home and welcome. He walked us through the recipes with insights, jokes, and a good nature the whole time. Having spent my childhood growing up in France, it was delight for Chef Jean-Yves to switch between English and French. He even gave my girlfriend and I tips on some traditional French recipes we have been trying our hand at. The whole experience really brought me back to my childhood and it was a delight. It was meant to be that he suggested going to Chapeau! (a French restaurant) after and I had already had a reservation booked. And, of course, the two cakes we made were absolutely fantastic. We can't wait to make them at home and impress our friends!

I took my friends to the chocolate dessert class for a bachelorette party and everyone had a great time! I didn't realize that the class was at the chef's apartment so when we first got there, we were a little uncomfortable. But that only lasted 10 minutes or so and then the chef brought us all out of our shells. He was very nice and funny and we learned a lot of tips for baking. We all walked out of the class laughing and talking about how much fun it was.

Jean Yves is no doubt a master at his craft. He is extremely knowledgable about french pastries, especially sugar.

Jean-Yve, one of the west coast's best pâtissier, prepared some delicious chocolate desserts, sharing his secrets. He was patient with the beginners and generous with his culinary advice. Highly recommend this class for either beginner or advanced chefs.

What a great evening! Jean Yves was very welcoming, accommodating, and generous. It felt more like a dinner party at Jean Yves' home than a formal cooking lesson, which was fantastic. That said, Jean Yves was an excellent teacher and gave us a host of useful tips for making awesome deserts. I highly recommend Jean Yves to anyone looking for a relaxing yet educational evening with a top chef.

We had Chef Jean Ives come to our home for a private dessert making class with friends. This was one of the best experiences we have had as a group so far. Looking forward to our next Cozymeal experience :)

I like to think I know a thing or two about pastry, but after just 2 hours with Jean Yves I realized how much more there is to learn. He's a charming and patient teacher, and makes some incredibly rich, phenomenally delicious chocolate desserts. I can't wait to take my next class with Jean Yves, and to show off my new desserts!

I enjoyed everything Jean-Yves baked, especially the molten lava cake. It was the perfect consistency and went so well with the raspberry coulis! Chef Jean-Yves is so charismatic and skillful and offers a lot of helpful baking tips. I hope to prepare his chocolate desserts for my friends in the future!

At the outset, I would like to thank Chef for hosting us and making time, however, the experience was far from joyful. We love food, both cooking and eating, and were really looking forward to this class as a celebration for our anniversary. Taste, ambiance, hospitality, recipe, technique - i wasn't impressed with anything. 1. There was very little involvement from the participants. 2. The raspberry coolie was made halfheartedly and that's why it tasted really bad 3. Everything that we made did not taste good. I am a huge fan of desserts and we try different ones from different bakeries. 4. We were standing throughout, which is totally okay when we cook. I feel hospitality says that we sit down at least when we are eating. 5. The two other participants were nice and jovial. That was what kept the atmosphere alive. I am sure Chef has done some great work in life and full respect to that. But hosting a cooking class calls for a different skill set.

Chef Jean Yves responded to me quickly and kept me informed about the status of the class. Unfortunately, the class had to be cancelled because there weren't any other students that signed up. He requested that I join a later class. But I am not able to do that as I am in San Francisco for only a few days on a business trip with my husband. The cost of the class was removed from my account and I haven't seen a refund to my account yet.
