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!
Estee E.

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!
Nader C.

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.
Vanessa M.
06/27/2018
We arrived to make a basic layer cake, and we left with a spectacular dessert. It was fun to make, interesting, but a bit challenging with his French accent. Overall, an enjoyable cooking class!

My son and I had a great time with Chef Yves. Loved meeting in his home - very personal. He gave us lots of opportunities to help, answered a thousand questions, taught us cool techniques, and the cake we made was incredible. Plus, we loved all his stories. You’ll have a great time!

Great learning experience for home baking with a professional teacher. The chef's funny and approachable, demystifies French baking with step by step explainations and had us help along the way. We also got to eat the delicious product and take a slice home for our family!

Denise L.
05/13/2018
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.

09/11/2017
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!

You can tell that Chef Jean Yves is extremely experienced and talented - he described to us the logic behind baking and this was one of our favorite cooking classes we have taken. We would recommend him to anyone regardless of their baking experience.

We arranged a class with Chef Jean as an off-site event for our small startup (6 people). It was a great chance to get to know the team. We were apprehensive at first, as it was held at the Chef's apartment but he was a gracious host and was able to lighten the mood almost instantly. We had a fantastic time learning from him and will definitely be planning another event!
Thank you Chef Jean for sharing your knowledge, opening your home and most of all for entertaining us in a way that brought us closer together.
Wishing you the best,
The Ascend Team

Chef Jean Yves was clearly extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and the cakes turned out amazing!

Would definitely recommend!
Dillon F.
07/25/2016
My girlfriend and I had so much fun baking with Jean! We learned & laughed a lot, and we will definitely be using his recipes more in the future. Jean made us feel extremely welcome, and he's amazing at what he does. We were disappointed that we left half of the flourless chocolate cake behind in Jean's kitchen! :( So don't be like us and leave your food behind! :) I would absolutely love to do another class with Jean and would highly recommend him.
May Y.

Chef Jean really knows how to cook! More importantly, he knows how to teach. I booked his chocolate desserts class for a date night. My date had way more advanced culinary skills than I did, but Chef Jean explained everything to me. We had such a great time.
My favorite part was learning how to make our cakes look pretty.
I can't wait to put my new skills to work. My roommate is already enjoying some of the cake I brought home.
Jenna C.
03/09/2016
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.

Nora L.
05/24/2015
Jean Yves is no doubt a master at his craft. He is extremely knowledgable about french pastries, especially sugar. I asked several questions about eggs and whatever intimidated me about pastries and he delivered clear and scientifically-backed answers which I will forever carry with me on my baking journey. I enjoyed the chocolate flourless cake so much that I'm trying it on my own now!
Yonit Y.
05/18/2015
I loved the class! I learned a lot of tips and tricks from chef Jean Yves, and we also made a perfect lava cake and flourless chocolate cake! He is also a very humorous and kind man.

Thomas G.
01/19/2015
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.

Sam C.

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!
Sydney M.
09/25/2014
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!
Mansi A.

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.
