Exceptional experience with Stephane!
My husband and I went to Le Foodist for the Macaron making class. Stephane was exceptional! I wish I could give him more than 5 stars! He was patient (even when my husband messed up), engaging, and extremely knowledgeable! I would highly recommend this class to everyone especially with Stephane!

Highly recommend if you enjoy baking!
We had an awesome and informative class learning how to make macarons. Our instructor, Stephan, was personal and precise in his instructions and expectations. The macarons were delicious, and I look forward to making macarons at home.

Great experience making macarons
Stephane was very knowledgeable and made our experience enjoyable. He was able to help all five of us and ensure our product turned out perfectly. He gave us good guidance and made it so much fun. And the macarons were delicious with plenty for us to take home and share with friends. Highly recommend it.

Very interactive and...
Very interactive and engaging! Ann made the class a great time and catered to the group whether you were an avid baker or first timer. We loved the small group size and intimate setting. After the class, we all got to sit down and enjoy our creations over coffee and tea. We took home over 50 macaroons!
Operator response
Bonjour Alex,
thank you for your great review of your Macarons class in Paris at Le Foodist with your Chef Anne. I am glad you enjoyed our mix of small group size and high number of macarons made - indeed as everyone makes between 25 and 30 for better practice, everybody leaves with a lot after the teatime at the end of class.
I am glad you loved it and thank you for your heartfelt review.
Cheers

The Best! Experience Paris Culture through Macarons Baking
Great experience and a wonderful family memory for us- mom with 2 college age son and daughter from USA. Lovely facility and surrounding neighborhood. We made so many macarons and they were so delicious! Plenty to give to friends and take home with us. Even made a new friend while we were in the class. Our instructor was so knowledgeable, friendly, step by step instruction and a great conversationalist with tons of tips for us to use in the future. We have such an appreciation for the craft and time and love put into macarons. The time flew by and everything felt so comfortable and natural at the right pace. We enjoyed the coffee/tea with macarons table conversation time afterwards too. We give 10 stars
Operator response
Bonjour Christina,
thank you for your wonderful 10 stars review of your Macarons Class in Paris at Le Foodist with your Chef Anne!
I am so happy you enjoyed her step by step guidance, along with all the tips she provided - as well as the opportunity to learn by making a lot of macarons (each participant typically makes 30 ...). So you are right, there are lots to take back.
And I am equally happy you enjoyed how everything felt comfortable, natural and at the right place from the coffee/tea at the end of class to taste your macarons to creating this great family memory.
We will look forward to the next opportunity to welcoming you!
Merci beaucoup,
Fred

We recommend Anne!!!!!
Le Foodist was fantastic! This was our second time coming and we did the Macaron class with Anne. We would highly recommend this as an activity to do while in Paris (whether you are a beginning or a pro!).
Operator response
Bonjour Angelina,

We look forward to the third time to welcome you - maybe for Croissants or French Desserts? Or why not a market visit and cooking class?
A la prochaine!

Making macarons was a lot of fun!
The cooking class was an excellent experience! I will never again complain about the cost of macarons in my home town of St. Augustine, FL - it's a lot of work! Stephane was a knowledgeable teacher with a good sense of humor. I highly recommend trying one of his classes.
