Took the Tarte class taught by Chef Stephanie, it was a wondeful experience. Chef was very informative and able to answer all our groups questions. Gave awesome demonstrations and ample time for hands on. Personable and educational, would recommend this course specifically and look forward to hopefully taking more in the future as she hosts a variety of classes.

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.

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 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!

We’ve learned so much from Chef Stephanie and the class was well organized. Any questions we had were answered and the hands-on practice plenty. Left class with delicious treats and recipe in hand, we can’t wait to share our future knowledge with family and friends!!!

Chef Stephanie made this as much fun as it was a great learning experience. My family and I have wanted to learn how to make these pastries for a long time and Chef Stephanie could not have made it more enjoyable. Kudos to the Chef.We are thinking of taking the macaroon class with her.

I am writing this as I’m enjoying the delights of this evening’s class. The French Bread Class was our second with Chef Stephanie, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. She is a marvelous instructor and gives pro tips that create a-ha moments every time! The take-always are always delicious! We can’t wait to book another and take our friends.

Had a great time today. Chef Stephanie is a great teacher and very knowledgeable. Went straight home and made a batch of pate choux. Turned out pretty good!

My class on Monday, December 22nd at 7 PM was not taught by Chef Jaken. It was taught by someone else and she was great. My sons and I really enjoyed the class and look forward to taking another French cooking class or maybe choose a different cuisine to learn. We had an amazing time. Thanks again and see you soon.

Chef Stephanie taught us how to make a fruit tart straight from scratch! We learned how to roll the dough, temper the egg for the pastry cream, and tap into our creative minds while decorating our tart. It was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend anyone take this class!

Chef Stephanie made this an amazing experience. My family had a great time, and she gave us lots of tips and tricks. I can’t wait to try it on my own at home.

The class was not led by Monica but by a young 20 year old. He did a good job. The class was good and the food (NY strip steak and frites with arugula salad) was phenomenal. I didn't love that they put you in groups of 4 because we didn't get to participate in everything. All in all it was a nice date.

Chef Stephanie was fantastic. My daughters and I had a wonderful time, while learning new cooking techniques. I immediately came home and personally was able to put my education to work, making crepes and new sauces. My husband has a salt allergy so I was able to apply her teaching to my limitations on salt at home. The crepes have been a huge success for dinners, lunch, & breakfast. I even smoked my own fresh salmon tonight for crepes.

It was fantastic. I booked this event as a surprise for my wife who has been attempting to make the Macarons and not achieving the results she was happy with. We learned so much and really enjoyed how helpful Chef Stephanie was. She made leaning fun and gave us many pro tips we can use going forward. I scored many points with my wife, and we look forward to taking another class soon. Maybe how to make croissants?!

My daughter and I had a great time with Chef Stephanie making macaron. She was very organized and had everything prepared for our class. She gave us lots of tricks and tips and our result was beautiful and delicious! I would definitely take another class with her!

Great experience learning to make French bread with Stephanie. She made the class very enjoyable as well as giving excellent and detailed instruction. Her home was very pleasant and we even had the pleasure of taking bread home with us. Thanks Stephanie.

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!
