• 5/5 from Pravina Patel, attended Sep 2026: I recently took this French pastry class and had an amazing time learning how to make choux pastry and a custard fruit tart from scratch.Our teacher, Valerie, was fantastic—incredibly patient, encouraging, and clear with every single instruction. She broke down the technical aspects of French baking into simple steps, which made the whole process feel completely manageable even for a beginner.During the class, we were hands-on the entire time. We learned the precise technique for making and piping choux pastry, watching it bake into perfect, airy puffs. We also crafted a rich, smooth custard and assembled beautiful fruit tarts topped with fresh blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.My absolute favorite part of the class was learning the science behind getting the choux pastry to rise correctly, and of course, getting to taste our delicious creations at the end. I walked away with new baking skills, great recipes, and a lot more confidence. I highly recommend taking Valerie's class to anyone looking to master classic French desserts!

• 5/5 from Anna Spadaro, attended Aug 2025: Valeria fostered a wonderfully warm and inviting atmosphere, with a cosy setup that felt more like a gathering of friends than a formal class. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a delightful spread of homemade madeleines and a carefully chosen selection of teas and coffees, setting a relaxed and cheerful tone for the day. Before the lesson began, Valeria provided a clear and engaging overview of the session, outlining the techniques we’d be learning and the pastries we’d be creating. The class was thoughtfully structured, striking a perfect balance between demonstration and hands-on practice. We explored a range of pastry types—from rich, buttery shortcrust to the light and airy choux pastry—each introduced with expert guidance. Valeria shared invaluable tips on everything from achieving the right dough consistency to mastering baking temperatures and timings. Throughout the session, she was attentive and encouraging, offering personalised advice and answering questions with patience and enthusiasm. We also had the opportunity to experiment with seasonal fillings and decorative finishes, which added a creative and playful element to the experience.

• 5/5 from Askenova Dinara, attended Mar 2024: My girlfriend got me this amazing Masterclass as a birthday gift and honestly it was by far the best gift I could have wanted. I’ve wanted to get into patisserie for a while now but never did it myself and I’m so glad my girlfriend decided to give it to me as a gift. The masterclass by Valeria was spectacular from beginning to end. She explained every step and method and also with the addition of explaining the science behind it which I thought was a great insight. Not only did we bake some amazing pasties but also had a great laugh either everyone who attended. To anyone who is interested in baking or any other culinary classes please do attend one of Valeria’s because it’s worth it. Thank you for such a great experience.
