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!

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!

Me and my father went to learn how to make macaroons and it was a amazing experience. Mrs. Stephanie gave lots tips and tricks on how to master the piping, and how long it would need to be cooked for. She also showed us how to make truffles with the remainder of the gnash. The macaroons where amazing and perfect. They tasted as if I was lifted into the air and resting on clouds. I loved every second of it.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I loved Chef Stephanie's cooking class! She is a great teacher and keeps an organized & clean kitchen. She taught us how to make two bread recipes & how to shape our bread into baguettes, epi, fougasse and several knots for our milk bread dough. We made dough and followed the steps until it was ready to bake, then baked it to perfection and got to enjoy sampling it! I would definitely take another class that she is offering.
