We had a wonderful time making macarons with Jojo!
She was so sweet and made macaron making easy and accessible. We had very yummy results and a fun time!

We attended this workshop for a birthday outing and thoroughly enjoyed! Myself and my friends had a private session booked which was lovely. T our teacher was friendly and informative - and we had the pleasure of meeting JoJo who runs these classes - a lovely bubbly and warm teacher who’s customer service was excellent.
Looking forward to return for a truffle making workshop soon

The gyoza class with Lola was wonderful! We learnt a lot about techniques and ingredients and it was a really enjoyable evening. Lola is a skilled and patient teacher. Highly recommended! I was hoping to get the recipes for the mixes - is this still possible?

JoJo, the teacher was lovely. Everything
we needed for the class was ready when we got there. She explained and showed us what to do. Nice and relaxed atmosphere.
Really enjoyed it and of course the tasty macarons to take home.

Had a great time on this French Macaron class. Always thought they would be difficult/fiddly to make, but Jojo’s teaching style made it relaxed, easy and a lot of fun. The macarons tasted amazing, even if I do say so myself. The venue is spacious, very well equipped and the music choice was great too.
Definitely coming back for some other recipes and would highly recommend. Amit

Great class. Learned a lot about how to make gyozas and it was really simply taught! Great social vibe and really relaxed too. Will definitely come back again for a different class!

Took my mum here as a treat and we had a good time! The teacher was super friendly and bubbly and made us feel comfortable. I learnt how to make macaroons and with the help of the teacher it was really easy!

I went with my flatmates, Olly and Craig, on a Sunday morning and Jojo, our teacher, could not have been more incredible. She was incredibly kind, patient and conversational, and the baking process itself was easy and fun. You get plenty of help to make sure you know what you're doing, but also plenty of time to figure things out for yourself and add personalized touches. Totally worth the experience and we will certainly be back for another class! Thrilled to have beautiful and tasty macaraons at the end as well x

Jojo hosted us for a session making French Macarons, she was a brilliant host and guide and reqlly pleasant personality to add to our group vibe and dynamic. I highly highly recommend this session (even if only for the recipe at the end), but the session itself Is brilliant for building group camaraderie. The hours fly by and you leave feeling accomplished. Faultless.

Liked the hands on learning, good spot for a date! Materials were all provided, good value for money imo

Cindy Smiley Feb 2024


I decided to book this session to do something different with my husband and also because we love gyoza. The experience was so great and we had fun learning how to make them. Lola was very nice and patient. We will definitely book another class. Thank you ????

James Trueman Feb 2024


Jojo was super friendly/knowledgeable and we learnt all the important points about truffle making in our session! Me and my husband now have lots of delicious truffles to eat to celebrate our anniversary :)

It was a very nice experience, we liked it so much, everything was provided, pizza was very beautiful and delicious. Also, I learnt some tips about dough! Many thanks!

Not only the workshop was explained easily and with real knowledge, but the enthusiasm and happiness during the entire time of the workshop left a smile on my face that will last the entire day.
Jojo is an extraordinary, lovely and kind person and I loved every second spent in there.
Thanks Jojo

I would highly recommend this class. It was really fun, the team were great. The pizza was very tasty too.

Joe Phillips Feb 2024


Our class was a perfect size (6 people) and Jojo taught us her own recipe that make macarons achievable, even for someone like me. Takes a lot of the faff out of the process and you still get great results and a lot of macarons to take home with you.
Thanks Jojo!

JoJo had lots of great tips for making macarons well and was warm and welcoming. I really enjoyed it.

The teacher is very terrible at explaining the steps and the whole lesson just feels so messy. For example: we didn’t have enough buttercream and the teacher have to make some extra (which turns out very runny, grainy and unevenly mixed). Also, the lesson states that it’s from 11am to 2pm but when it’s 1:30pm the teacher is already rushing us to finish packing and leave, just because she have next class at 2:30). And when she’s taking out our macaroons, she try to slide the baking paper onto the table but it’s unsuccessful and flips the macaroons over and crushed them.
This lesson is just overall messy and unprofessional and have lots of improve
