Valeria, was a lovely teacher. The course was very professionally run, everything was prepared beforehand so that participants could focus entirely on their cooking technique. I will be looking at Valeria's other courses to attend again. I thoroughly recommend attending one of Valria's classes.

Valeria was the perfect teacher! I liked that it was a small group, which made it comfortable to ask questions. The class was organised, and everything was measured and ready. The bakes were perfect and the class filled me with the confidence to try everything at home. There was no need for fancy equipment so the recipes were accessible and could be easily replicated. Thank you so much.

I loved this class. We made profiteroles and a tart with crème patissiere and fruit. Valeria is such a good teacher. She is very well prepared and gives loads of useful tips that can be carried over to other baking.

Valeria is an absolutely wonderful teacher, creating a delightful afternoon of French patisserie-making. With my 16 year old daughter, we learnt so much, and feel confident we’ll be able to continue cooking patisseries at home. Lots of top tips, and the results look fabulous.
