Eclair e choux pratici con un pasticcere

Dear Amie, Thank you for this honest review, and for the smile in it. Paris does have a talent for making everything cost a little more than one expects. On our side, the price covers a small group, a working pastry kitchen, professional ingredients and a chef who stays with you for the whole session rather than demonstrating from a distance. That said, your feeling is entirely legitimate, and we take note of it. We are delighted the eclairs tasted as they should and that the morning was a good one. Thank you for spending it with us. Warmly, Matthieu

Dear Philip, Thank you for this kind note. Choux pastry has a habit of raising questions halfway through, so having a chef who answers them calmly and on the spot makes all the difference, and ours will be glad you felt looked after. Good results and good atmosphere are both worth having. We are delighted you left with each. Thank you for spending the time with us. Warmly, Matthieu

Hola, y muchas gracias por esta reseña, Celebrar un cumpleaños en nuestra cocina nos parece una idea preciosa, y tuvisteis además la suerte de disfrutar de una clase para vosotros dos solos, algo que ocurre pocas veces y que convierte la sesión en algo muy personal. Mimi estará encantada de leer vuestras palabras. Los éclairs y la pasta choux exigen precisión, así que enhorabuena por el resultado. Gracias por confiarnos ese día, y felicidades de nuevo a su mujer. Un cordial saludo, Matthieu

Dear Aaron, You did mention it, twice, and we are not complaining in the slightest. Thank you. Choux pastry is one of those things that looks simple and is not, so a tray of eclairs worth repeating twice in a review is a fine result. Our chef will be very pleased. Thank you for spending the time with us. Warmly, Matthieu

Dear Amanda, Fantastique indeed, and thank you. Our chefs are professionals first and teachers second, which is precisely why the tricks they share are the real ones rather than the simplified version. Thank you also for mentioning the café. It is small and we are rather attached to it, so a kind word means a lot. We hope to see you back on either side of the counter. Warmly, Matthieu

Hello, and thank you for this generous review, Ten stars is beyond our reach, but we will happily take the intention. Our chef will be delighted to hear that the information was as good as the atmosphere. Choux pastry demands concentration, so a class filled with laughter alongside it is exactly the balance we aim for. Thank you for spending the time with us in Paris. Warmly, Matthieu

Dear Kathy, What a lovely thing to read: your first cooking class, and it has left you wanting more. That is the best result we could hope for. Éclairs are a fine place to begin, since choux pastry teaches patience and precision at the same time. Enjoy the compliments, keep going, and come back to us whenever you are in Paris. Warmly, Matthieu

Dear Hilary, Thank you for this. Choux pastry is unusually sociable work, and the eating at the end is not a bonus so much as the point of the exercise. We are delighted you enjoyed it. Thank you for spending the time with us in Paris. Warmly, Matthieu
