  • 5/5 from Brian Wooller, attended Feb 2026: Great class. The most valuable aspect was the tips that make things easier and cover small mistakes that often make novices like me panic.

  • 5/5 from Laura Booth, attended Feb 2026: Really enjoyable class learning from a very experienced chef. Francois was welcoming and engaging and gave many helpful tips as he demonstrated how to make the various pastry elements. It was helpful to watch each process and learn tips and tricks for success trying pastry at home - we left feeling confident we could do it!
  • 5/5 from Robyn Kerr, attended Feb 2026: It was a real treat to be taught by Francois Morabito, a professional French chef with a lifetime's experience. He was patient with us, slick in his work and with very interesting tips along the way and he made it fun. I learnt a lot and look forward to trying this at home.

  • 5/5 from Julie Schumacher, attended Nov 2025: Beautiful pastries - brioche, choux, puff pastry and short cut pastry. Francois’ was a great instructor. Note this a demonstrative class not hands on! Francois’ provides you with the full recipes and prepares beautiful desserts you can taste and take home Well worth it
  • 5/5 from Nola Stanley, attended Nov 2025: Really enjoyed this class! Francois showed us 3 different types of pastry and a brioche. He is very knowledgeable and its great that he is able to pass this on to others. I was given a voucher for my birthday which included my kids but you would also enjoy this class even if you were on your own as Francois likes to include each person in his lesson. As he explains - this is a "hands off" class which enables him to show the processes from start to finish. Each person receives a sample of goodies to take home.

  • 5/5 from Sue Hedgcock, attended Mar 2024: Great demonstrations and some very useful tips. Tasting of the patisseries and a takeaway box was very much appreciated. Delicious. François has a wry sense of humour and clearly enjoys his trade.
  • 4/5 from Maureen Faas, attended Feb 2024: Francois was friendly and gave lots of information whilst cooking four sweet options in 2 hours. He gave us lots of tips on how to do each one with recipes for each and encouraged us to try the recipes and to ask for help at any time. Tip - if you are watching what you eat, this is not a good option for you especially with the sampler box we took home; everything tasted amazing though :) The only reason for the missing star was that 2 hours is a long time to stand and there were very limited chairs available (I understand that this is a commercial kitchen so this may be difficult to facilitate).
  • 3/5 from Michael Della Maddalena, attended Feb 2024: I thought the class would be hands on. There was no seats to sit on. And everything seemed to be rushed.
  • 5/5 from Julie Jeremiah, attended Dec 2023: Francois was a great teacher. Very professional and knowledgeable. Class was a demonstration class rather than participation. That meant we could see many more foods being made and baked rather than every participant making on or two small deserts. I can’t wait to try the yummy deserts we learnt how to make
  • 5/5 from Kerry McIvor, attended Dec 2023: Very inspiring to get me back into the kitchen! Many thanks for an enjoyable class.
  • 4/5 from Geraldine Mandin, attended Nov 2023: It was very nice. Thank you for the good recipe and easy tricks. On ferra des choux tres bientot!
  • 5/5 from Lisa Spalding, attended Jul 2023: Great class, so many great tips. I have already made the shortcrust pastry and it all worked perfectly, so crispy and buttery. Can't wait to try making my own choux and puff pastry.
  • 5/5 from Lucia d'Souza, attended Jul 2023: Excellent cooking class and very enjoyable too. Francois is a great teacher and he took a lot of trouble to show us how to prepare different pastry bases/doughs. We learnt how to make puff pastry, short crust pastry, brioche, choux pastry, creme patisserie and chantilly. We tasted what we prepared : Mille feuilles/vanilla slice, tarte au chocolat/chocolate tart, choux à la crème, brioche which were all yummy! It was a great experience thank you Francois.
