The instructor was excellent and engaging. The class was educational & fun. Frances has an interesting culinary background as well. I purchased two separate tickets. For whatever reason I had to share. I rated 4 stars because the presentation & supplies needs improvement to project a cohesive professional company image. For example, the hand mixers needed to be cleaned. There should be matching bowls, utensils for each student and tablecloths on all tables. Instead of pre-measured ingredients packaged in sandwich baggies, please consider using small deli containers that are food & dishwasher safe that can be washed and reused. Each should be clearly labeled with the contents. Food preparation gloves should also be provided. There wasn’t enough bakery boxes to go around to place the macarons in to take home. For fairly large classes I recommend an assistant to support the instructor. This will maintain organization throughout each step and a steady pace to ensure the class stays within the allotted time frame. In my opinion the setup and clean up is quite an undertaking for one person. A few of us gladly volunteered to help with the clean up. Overall I enjoyed the class and the experience. The hotel venue and location was convenient and easily accessible.

I had a great time. This class ticked all the boxes: Fran was a great instructor, the food was delicious, the venue was fun, and Fran gave clear and easy to follow instructions. My Paella turned out great!

This was a lot of fun. I like how the cooking lesson was broken down into mini lessons for us to remember and go back to cook in phases. I liked the history lesson about paella’s origin

Fran was the best! Super patient and provided a great environment

I had a great time and thought Frances did a great job explaining and demonstrating the process. I would recommend this class.

No improvement needed! Chef Fran was awesome...explained the process very well and was prepared for all of her students. Very easy to follow her instruct and so fun....My Macarons turned out amazing 🤩

Great experience! Making macarons has always been a goal of mine and past attempts at home have been unsuccessful. The class was really helpful to learn the technique of macaronage and I feel able to recreate the process at home with new recipe and notes!

Great and patient chef and instructor! We had a great time! Food was delicious. I can’t wait to make my own.

Chef Frances was great! I’ve never been to a cooking class like this. I came by myself but I had a GREAT time. She was clear with instructions and was very knowledgable on techniques and consistency on making the batter. Highly recommend!
