Customer Reviews

This is a great product and has been giving me perfect macarons. It took me a couple attempts to figure out and after speaking with Chef Jessica, who has been very helpful, reviewed the photos and suggested I rest a little bit longer and since then I have made trays of 60 shells and been able to use all of them. The Entremets courses is very thorough and helpful and the staff is great and communicative and quick to answer any questions. Thank you for everything!

Jessica is an amazing and talented pastry chef. Her in depth knowledge of vegan baking is outstanding. She definitely knows and understands the science of baking. For this reason, Jessica has helped me through many many of my baking challenges and difficulties over the years. I have taken 9 of her baking/pastry courses since 2021. I like her unique flavour combinations the most, such as, for example, cold brew Earl Grey mascarpone chantilly with yuzu curd and raspberry marmalade. Right up my street! Jessica is always available online when I need help. The other great thing about her courses is that the training videos are not restricted for 3 or 6 months, like at most other cooking schools.

Took some pastry courses with Chef Jessica as the instructor. Courses were challenging and I’ve learned so much and am becoming a greater vegan pastry chef. Chef Jessica is always available to help and help you troubleshoot throw difficulties especially when it came to making macarons.
