All types of in person classes taught by this chef
Chef Dana was an absolutely fantastic teacher! She thoroughly explained every step of the macaron-making process and paired her explanations with clear, detailed demonstrations. This made it easy to follow along and understand the techniques involved.
There were moments during the class when things felt a bit idle, and the pace could have moved along faster. As a result, we went longer than the scheduled time. I don’t attribute this to Dana herself but rather to the overall flow and dynamic of the session.
Despite that, I walked away with a clear and confident understanding of how to make French macarons, thanks to Dana’s expertise and teaching style. It was a valuable and enjoyable experience!
