Fabulous time! I had a surprise birthday macaroon workshop for the entire family and that was such an enlightening fun!Valeria is a fabulous teacher and a great chef! My daughters (10,10 and 13) were completely engaged in the entire process. The results are delicious and beautiful. Highly recommend for any type of celebration or a family get together.”

Thank you so much Valeria, this course was super informative but also very fun. We felt very comfortable and we took home a variety of delicious pastries and sweet things we made during the class. We would definitely attend another course provided by valeria. Valeria clearly had lots of knowledge of baking from many different countries which was very intriguing for us to listen too. We travelled from Cornwall, the address was very easy to get to. We look forward to seeing you again Valeria xxx”

I did this class with my 9 year old daughter who is a keen baker. The setting is intimate and we really felt we learned lots of good general baking tips. It was easy to ask questions and get some one-to-one help with techniques. Valeria was friendly and the class was very well-organised. We had lots of goodies to take away!”

I really enjoyed the French Patisserie class run by Valeria. Valeria is very skilled and she is a great teacher. I learnt a lot in the class and was able to ask any questions I had throughout. The class was a small group which meant everyone got to know each other over the few hours we were baking together and Valeria made us very comfortable in her home – we even sat and had tea/coffee while taste testing our bakes! I would definitely recommend this class!

“I had such a wonderful experience making with Valeria! She was so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable! I took the afternoon tea baking as a one on one class when I was looking to do something memorable during my visit to London. I can’t say enough good things about my experience!All of the ingredients we needed were ready to go and very well organized especially since we made 3 different recipes ! The timing of the class was also perfect. I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to learn new or improve current baking skills. I can see this being super fun for small friend groups as well. Thank you Valeria!”

“My family with teenage children enjoyed our class with Valeria tremendously. Valeria is very warm and so accommodating. She imparted her knowledge through very clear demonstrations and hands-on instructions. Not only did the hours fly by as we were having fun and completely involved with our tasks, we came away super excited with our new skills. Valeria happily answered our many questions and gave us simple but great tips that we felt gave us confidence to make pasta successfully at home. Plus point-we also came away with a variety of pasta enough to feed us for 2 generous, delicious meals!”

“Valeria’s baking class was so interesting. We learned to bake 3 different items and she explained through each of them step by step. We were encouraged to ask questions and clear doubts. She also offered lot of baking tips, which made it better to understand why we are doing something a particular way. She also explains how to look for signs to know when the process is going right/wrong. Valeria made our group feel at home and offered wonderful coffee & biscotti during our break. An afternoon well spent!”

“The class was so fun. Can’t believe we made 3 different desserts in 3 hours. I appreciated Valeria going through the science of the cooking, it helped me understand the process better. I never thought I could make such pretty macarons!”

“I had a brilliant time preparing a celebration cake with Valeria! Not only was I able to make something beautiful but tasted amazing. In addition to Valeria being easygoing, and truly open to sharing her knowledge I also loved her online set up which included a second camera focused on all the worktop/ hands’ action. It really felt like having her in my kitchen!

“I can’t imagine a better way to spend an afternoon. Valeria was gracious in sharing her culinary skills with us. The Charlotte cake is one of my successes in terms of first tries. I kept opening the refrigerator door to steal a glance at it. I couldn’t wait to serve it. Definitely a show stopper. Molte grazie, Debbie”
