The instructor was very friendly and welcoming. She gave very easy to follow instructions and tips. We were able to get some hands on experience plus we were able to take home a few samples of our work and a beautiful printout of the recipes. It was a fun small group class in a comfortable space.

It was excellent . Perfect amount of time. The ingredients were pre-measured, all we had to do was mix them. The chef used the mixer and gave a great explanation of the process. We piped the dough and filling and sampled the macarons. Then came away with four, plus 2 recipes in both French and English. I
