Exceptional experience - This experience was wonderful from start to finished. Our chef, Stephane, was incredibly patient and enjoyed getting everyone in the group engaged. This class is truly hands on every step of the way! Our group made 4 different kinds of macrons. Stephane shared the tricks of the trade to help us create these incredible jewels. We had a chance to taste our creation and then take some home. The location was easy to get to and the space was really nice and wonderful to work in. I highly recommend this class!

A memorable experience in Paris! - We had a wonderful time!! Paris traffic was terrible and we arrived very late to our class. We were greeted with open arms and our instructor didn’t miss a beat adding us into the mix. She was clearly used to managing everyone through all of the steps and made everything so enjoyable! I even get a few tips for troubleshooting my macarons at home. My mother & I will never forget this experience. Thank you!

Best time and wonderful macarons! - Phenomenal time! First, the Le Foodist kitchen and building is so lovely. We were greeted by Anne, who delivered our instructions and supported our small group (only 6 of us total!) in making lemon, vanilla and chocolate macarons. We had such fun and finished by enjoying our new treats with coffee and tea. Next time in Paris, I will take their croissant class!

We made our own delicious macarons! - My wife and I totally enjoyed this class! Stéphane Jimenez was an outstanding chef and instructor that took his time with each individual to ensure they were properly creating their macarons. We had more than enough macarons to eat with coffee or tea and enough left over to take a large box of macarons home with us. This was well worth the time and it was a priceless experience I will never forget.

Top experience in Paris! - Stephan’s class was a highlight on our trip to Paris! The charming entrance led to a beautifully designed seating area that doubled as a tasting room. We were immediately welcomed by Stephane himself and provided with a place to relax while the other students arrived. Once we were provided with our aprons and hands washed, we entered a spacious and pristine food prep area. This class was organized for success and provided loads of fun. Stephane’s energy was perfect for the novice or experienced chef. We learned many “secret” techniques to bring home to our own kitchens. The tasting of our culinary creations was complimented by a cup of tea or coffee. We highly recommend Le Foodist. Fun, fun, fun! Merci Stephane…we will be back 😊

Baking Couples - The class was amazing! Each group made a different type of macaroon from scratch. At the end, you will try each one, get the recipe, and can take leftovers home. It was our first cooking class ever and we LOVED it!
