A really great hands-on baking experience in Paris - We made eclairs and Choux (Pâte à Choux), some dipped in chocolate; some with powdered sugar. What made the experience wonderful was our teacher, Chef Stefan Jimenez. Stefan's English communication skills are excellent, given his experience in working in pastry in several of New York's finest restaurants. I was with my parents and children; altogether our ages range from 11 to 86. Stefan was wonderful in jumping in to help us out when needed. A really great experience while visiting Paris

DO IT!!! - My daughter and I had Stefane as an instructor for the croissant class and he was great! Very personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. He even made dinner reservations for us and connected me with restauranteurs back in the US. My wife took the market/cooking class while we did the croissants and she loved it so we’re all going back in a few days for the macaroon class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Choux pastry and éclair baking - Amazing class from Stephane. All 4 of us travelling together booked the same class and it turned out to be just us 4 kinda like a private class! We had an amazing time baking choux and eclair pastries with chef Staphane. Thank you so much. We made so much that ate all of them continuously in 2 days.

Best Baking Class - We had an AMAZING morning making crepes, crème brûlée, chocolate soufflé, and financiers with Stefan J. It was so fun, and difficult desserts were made easy. We are sure to wow any future dinner guests with our newfound dessert skills. Would recommend 10/10!

Great Class! - I took the class solo and had Stephan as the instructor. It was a class of 6, and we worked on the recipes in pairs. Stephan was amazing and demonstrated the techniques along the way with lots of energy. I've never seen someone whisk so fast! I'm hoping to take that energy home when I bake these again. The recipes were also fantastic, everyone's eclairs and choux came out great with so much flavor in the fillings. We had a laminated recipe to follow, but usually listened to Stephan. I do wish we had a pencil and paper to write down tips as we went, or some list of tips sent along with the recipe. The recipe sent over email is what was written, but the tips and tricks were the best part of the class!

Le Foodist: Wonderful school to learn about French food and cooki - My friend and I went with my 2 and had a terrific time. Stephan Jimenez, who has worked in Thomas Keller restaurants, could not be a better teacher and coach. We can away with better techniques for making cloux dough and filling and decorating our eclairs and puffs. I hope to go back someday and take another class that includes a meal. We had a problem with our reservations at the last minute and they graciously worked it out for us that day. We will recommend Le Foodist to everyone going to Paris.
