  • 5/5 from Adriana Herrera Martínez, attended Jul 2026: I had a delightful day at the Gourmandises Academie, learning to cook choux pastry. I enjoyed the class, Corinne managed to give us a lovely and warm environment to learn, I felt like being back home on my family's kitchen. I am definitely looking forward to go back and take more classes. If you are curious and undecided as I was, just do it! Book any of Corinne's classes and you won't regret!
  • 5/5 from Jackie, attended Jun 2026: My son purchased this experience for my birthday and it was fabulous. My husband and I were warmly welcomed and felt right at home almost immediately! Corinne had everything very well organised and clearly explained the process from start to finish. We were very involved in the complete process and learned heaps. The pace was good and the outcome delicious. We particularly enjoyed lunch and my request for vegetarian food was met. Relaxed and enjoyable event :)
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Feb 2026: I had an excellent experience attending the choux pastry cooking class with Corinne. The workshop was very well organized, with a great set-up and high-quality ingredients provided. Corinne was an incredibly pleasant and patient chef. Throughout the entire day, she made sure to be available for any questions and offered corrections and tips to help each of us achieve the best results. Her guidance was clear and encouraging, which made the learning process both enjoyable and effective. We had the chance to make a large quantity of éclairs and religieuses, providing plenty of practice to truly improve our pastry skills. I was also very impressed that Corinne sent us the photos and recipes within 15 minutes of finishing the class — such amazing attention to detail and care! It was a fantastic day overall, and I would definitely attend another cooking class with Corinne. Highly recommended!
  • 5/5 from Ashley Gonzalez, attended Jan 2026: Thank you so much, it was an amazing experience and I really enjoyed it!!
  • 5/5 from Barbara Sgotto, attended Jun 2025: Great, personable class with brilliant tips and hacks. Small class size added to the personal touch
  • 5/5 from Mandakini Prabhakar, attended May 2025: Fantastic class with an intimate setting. We had a fantastic afternoon baking choux pastries! The setting was cosy and felt like an afternoon cooking and chatting away with a friend. We had a lot of laughs and enjoyed a delicious 2 course lunch with a glass of wine in the garden. Highly recommend the class to do with a friend, parent or in my case my brother! Walked away with boxes brimming with our goods. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Peter, attended Oct 2024: What a wonderful day we had with Corinne, making eclairs, religieuses and profiteroles. She was so patient and helpful, telling us stories, and guiding us to an end result that we’re actually really proud of. But what really set this class apart was that we felt so at home from the very first moment, baking in Corinne’s kitchen and enjoying lunch with Corinne and her husband. An intimate experience that we’d strongly recommend.

My passion for cooking comes from my childhood. I was born on the island of Réunion, a small French colony off the coast of Madagascar. Although my parents moved to France when I was very small, the spirit of the island was very much alive in our home, and especially in our kitchen.
I love introducing a touch of sunshine into my cooking and often add tropical flavours from Réunion to my desserts to give a vibrant twist to the elegant French classics. All the recipes used at Gourmandises Académie are my own, and each one has been developed with time and a lot of love. I’m so happy to have been recognised with three stars in the prestigious Great Taste Awards.
I am excited to share some of these recipes with you and look forward to welcoming you into my home as a student of the Gourmandises Académie.
