Malcolm • Oct 2023

Very enjoyable experience and we found Raanan entertaining and helpful. The venue was excellent. This was really a birthday treat for my wife and she was very happy with it. We have no intention of going in for serious chocolate making but we had great fun producing our truffles.

Teacher's response

Hi Alexandra,
Thank you so much for your review. I am so happy you liked my chocolate class and the experience.
Thank you so much.
Raanan.

Olivia Smith • Jun 2023

This class was okay but the venue was a bit lack lustre, and I wish the teacher had given us more opportunity to talk to the other people in the class or to our partners rather than feeling like he had to talk the whole time.

Steven Hutchison-Wallace • Jun 2023

Booked this class for me and my partner as a date day event and wow we had such an amazing experience. The class was very educational and the tutor was so funny and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this event for a date day, a fun day or just simply to learn a new skill.

Emily Ritchie • Jun 2023

We all really enjoyed this evening. The ingredients were sent in time, with no delays or dramas. The class itself ran very smoothly and was lots of fun!
Thank you

Adele Miller • Jun 2023

R&M fine chocolate were great, the instructor was attentive, patient and my team had a lot of fun

Anna Considine • Apr 2023

Teacher was very relaxed, funny and knowledgeable. I don’t know if we just got lucky but the class size was very small so the amount of attention we got each felt very generous! The chocolate was delicious and everyones bonbons turned out great under his supervision.

Linda Howcroft • Apr 2023

Raanan explained everything in an easy way to understand.
We made beautiful chocolates and I feel like I could make them again at home.
Thought tempering chocolate would be hard but Raanan made it easy.
Would recommend this course had such a good time and learned lots

Enjoyed trying something different with the wider team!

Charlotte Wilson • Mar 2023

Raanan is an excellent teacher. He was funny and informative and all of our guests really enjoyed the experience. We used the class as a kick-start to a hen do and it was perfect first activity. We learnt quite a bit about chocolate and had plenty of delicious truffles to snack on throughout the weekend. What could be better?

I can't wait to make more truffles again soon

Carol Taylor • Oct 2022

Yes it was interesting going to try and practice at home, I have made some at home before just wanted a little more knowledge

Miss Bennett • Oct 2022

Myself and friends had a lot of fun making the truffles! Actually made a lot more than I had originally expected and they were really tasty too

Hannah-Rose Tomlinson • Sep 2022

Raanan was an excellent facilitator - explaining what we needed to do clearly and concisely, with fun facts and a lot of humour too. We loved how much it felt like we could go home and try it ourselves - the framing was all about 'the first step on our chocolate making journey' which was lovely! Plus the truffles were absolutely delicious. Thank you for a lovely morning!

Emz Williams • Jun 2022

Really enjoyable! Explained nicely, a fun afternoon! My truffles turned out alright too!

Ana Botelho • Jun 2022

Great class full of explanation and tips. Still working on getting my ganache to not be too liquid and getting those truffles round
Also really liked having the explanation and steps on paper - love my new spatula

Bethany Holmes • Jun 2022

The truffle making lesson was bought for me as a present and was a wonderful way to spend an hour - the time flew by and I was totally engrossed in making these delicious treats. Raanan was a fantastic teacher, he was funny and explained every step throughout the process and gave some brilliant tips (I just have to remember these now!) I truly recommend this experience to everyone as it was so much fun and anyone can do it.

Very kind instructor and he was obvious;y very knowledgeable about chocolate! The box of supplies arrived on time and was perfectly thought out.

Zoie McKay • Jan 2022

Was a great class! Just the internet connection could have been better but that had nothing to do with the host, Raanan's capabilities is helping us make the best truffles :)

Roey Izhaki • Jan 2022

A bit hard to do this via zoom as I got my truffles much smaller than they should have been.
But overall was a great experience and the result was superb.

Kim Schenkelaars • Jan 2022

I enjoyed the class particularly all the extra little facts the instructor gave. People in my session asked some very stupid questions and he dealt with them very well without taking too much time away from the overall class

Aggie Dzivenu • Jan 2022

Amazing and passionate chocolatier. Shared pretty detailed secrets into truffle making. Enjoyed my time and product.
Thank you.

Catherine Hendry • Dec 2021

Our teacher, Raanan, was great. It's not easy doing these classes over zoom but he kept us engaged and was entertaining at the same time.

His instructions were easy to follow and our group all managed to successfully make many chocolate truffle.

The ingredients boxes arrived very quickly with everything measured out so it was easy to know what to use when. Anything extra we needed to provide was clearly communicated too.

Thanks so much - we all really enjoyed the session and would highly recommend to anyone.

Our team social of virtual Chocolate truffle making with Raanan was great. From the moment we booked we had good communication, the kits arrived and the actual class was well run and fun. Raanan was an excellent host - very knowledgeable, helpful, interesting and amusing. If we ever had a chance to do this again I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook. Top class.

All the material was provided for the elaboration of our truffles.

The class was really nice and we enjoyed learning how to make chocolate truffles. The teacher was very clear and helpful in responding to our questions. Recommended!

Jess Sparey • May 2021

Really enjoyed the class, thanks so much. Was very thorough and informative. I would say that for beginners it would be good to take more time as a lot of us did not end up with truffles as is was too watery/ warm. Difficult crowd as most people had their cameras off. Thanks so much.

Dominique Dorman • May 2021

Done this class as part of a team-building exercise.
The service was flawless from beginning to end. Raanan kept in constant communication with us, he is brilliant, and the chocolate tasted great.

Thanks
Dominique

Jonah Robinson • May 2021

My son (age 13) was given the chocolate truffle workshop as a gift. He really enjoyed it. Raanan was friendly, informative, and entertaining. The truffles we made were delicious. And we finished the session with new skills too! Highly recommended.

Henrietta Foster • May 2021

The class was really well structured and engaging, and the truffles taste great. Thank you!

Sophie Woodcock • Apr 2021

Really fun activity with tasty results!
Teacher was really nice and helpful, I would reccomend.

Aleen Solly • Apr 2021

Class was good but I 5hink it would be improved by allowing a 10-15 minute tea break after the ganache has been piped to allow it to fully set. I felt a bit rushed to finish the piping to ensure that there was enough time for it to set.

Gemma Butchart • Apr 2021

We really enjoyed making truffles at home. The ingredients all arrived in good time, and were well sectioned out for us to use during the class.
The teacher was very knowledgeable but didn’t overwhelm.
Now to enjoy the truffles yummy!

Patricia McLaughlin • Apr 2021

Really enjoyed this class. It was my first time to ever make chocolates and they turned out great, rich and delicious. Everything was explained thoroughly. The hour flew in. Would definitely recommend as something different to do or to help you with a hobby in making chocolates

Anonymized Customer • Apr 2021

Very fun class, learnt a lot about chocolate and chocolatiering as well as how to make the truffles
