WHAT YOU’LL DO
French tea pastries feel intimidating at a café counter, but this hands-on cooking class with Chef Lisa proves they don't have to be. You'll learn the why behind gluten-free and dairy-free baking as you prepare three timeless French favorites from scratch – building foundational skills you'll return to again and again.
You'll discover how almond flour creates the delicate crumb of a classic financier, work through the flaky gluten-free pastry behind a rustic seasonal galette and prepare a traditional cherry clafoutis, a simple baked dessert beloved for generations. Along the way, Chef Lisa shares professional techniques for working with alternative flours and dairy-free ingredients, showing how small shifts in method transform texture, flavor and consistency. Whether you're baking around allergies, celiac disease or simple curiosity, you'll leave with practical skills and the confidence to recreate these elegant desserts at home.

It was SOOOOO amazing! Immediately, Chef Lisa makes you feel so comfortable and confident, even if you don't have much baking experience. You learn the science behind cooking, how to make three delicious recipes, and develop new skills. I went with my boyfriend, and we both agreed that it was one of the most fun dates we have ever been on. Take this class for sure!!!

My wife and I recently attended the "Gluten-Free French Pastries" class with Chef Lisa, and it was a truly exceptional experience! I cannot recommend this class—and Chef Lisa—highly enough. Chef Lisa is an incredible instructor who is both patient and extremely knowledgeable. She is very personable and created a welcoming environment for the class. What sets her apart is how she shares her past experiences as a pastry chef, weaving in the fascinating history and the actual science behind the pastries we were making. It made the process so much more engaging than just following a recipe. As for the pastries themselves, every single one we made was exceptional. If you are looking for a top-tier baking class, look no further. I would gladly take any other class Chef Lisa teaches!

Class was wonderful as always. Chef Lisa is very accommodating and so fun to learn with. We can't wait to go back!

Chef Lisa was amazing! She has so much knowledge for baking and cooking, and specifically healthy, gluten free, and dairy free recipes. She was fun to chat with while baking and let us do the baking while giving direction. It wasn't just about the 3 recipes of the class, she also taught us tips and tricks for baking and cooking in general. We learned so much! A++ rating, telling all my friends to take a class taught by Chef Lisa.

Booked the class Gluten-Free Popular Thai Street Food with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)
We had the best time cooking with Chef Lisa! The food was so delicious and Chef Lisa did an excellent job of explaining not just how to cook the dishes, but also the science behind it all which was super interesting. I highly recommend this class to anyone with interest in Thai cuisine. I’m sure I will be cooking these recipes for many years to come! 5 out of 5.

Booked the class Allergen-Free Mediterranean Feast with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)
Chef Lisa's expertise and patience as a teacher exceeded my expectations! She effortlessly accommodated my request for gluten free/allergy free cooking with another students' request for mac and cheese. We cooked many more dishes than I thought would be possible in such a short time - Romesco sauce, polenta, pan seared shrimp and dijon chicken, pan sauce tips and tricks, amaretti cookies and...mac&cheese! She was exceedingly generous with her time and knowledge, and I left her kitchen feeling much more confident in my cooking skills.

Booked the class Allergen-Free Mediterranean Feast with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)
We made a gluten free Mediterranean meal that was not only delicious but so easy to prepare. Our culinary skills are ready for our next challenge! Lisa was vibrant and fun and really educated us with simple science to explain why something works or won’t work. It was such a great night and we will definitely pick an event with Lisa again.

Booked the class Chocolate Tutorial with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)
I had an AMAZING time with Lisa! I loved learning the chemistry of chocolate, how temperature plays a significant role, and the difference between chocolates on the market. I would 100% go to another of her classes!

Booked the class Dairy and Gluten-Free French Bistro with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)
We had a BLAST cooking with Chef Lisa!! She was very careful with food allergies (celiac and dairy-free) and she was incredibly knowledgeable on all things cooking. I am more of a beginner and my fiancé is more of an intermediate cook. We both learned so much, as she differentiated her instructions well for both of us! We cannot wait to go back for another class.

Booked the class Macaroons and Macarons with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)
We took a class on a highly technical baking project, French macarons with Chef Lisa. It is hard to overstate what a great experience this was! Chef is part instructor, part motivator, and part scientist. She didn't just talk at us, but made sure that we were hands-on doing the work the whole time, and this gave me great confidence that I truly *can* do what we learned after the fact! She always made sure to give the feedback that we can (and are) going in the right direction, which is important. She was also super knowledgeable about the science behind the food, and gave all the details, and was able to answer any question we thought of. Being able to pick the brain of a real chef is a super useful aspect of the whole experience. I also want to say that you could tell from the little things that weren't listed in the course description that she has a passion for hospitality, and making sure her guests have a good time. 100% you will not regret one second of time spent in her classes!

My wife and I took her chocolate class. She is a world class chef, instructor and person! We had an amazing time and she made us feel welcome while providing the perfect level of instruction so we have the confidence to try our new skills at home. We're already planning our next visit. Thank you Lisa!!

Booked the class Macaroons and Macarons with Chef Lisa in Boston (Brighton)
We made macarons and 2 other cookies (amaretti and a no bake coconut cookie). The class was a birthday present for my 11 year old daughter and Chef Lisa was amazing with her (and even altered what she had planned to bake with us to accommodate my daughter). We had a wonderful time and learned a lot!

Chef Lisa greatly exceeded my expectations! Her vast knowledge in the culinary arts was prevalent in every answered question and explained technique. She was incredibly kind, patient, and personable throughout the class. Though it was a very educational few hours, Chef Lisa's humor made learning feel like play. I'm so happy with my experience overall and will most definitely recommend this class to everyone I know!
