I did the macaroon workshop a couple of weeks ago while i was on holiday in London. It was great! all the techniques to making a perfect macaroon were taught in detail and so well. its a completely hands on class so after a demonstration of each process you have to do it at your workstation independently. I couldnt believe... More

I've attended the baking 101 class in the beginning of april while i was on vacation in London. Loved the class, the atmosphere, and Emannuel's teaching style.

I was given the Bread Making 101 as a gift and did it with Emmanuel yesterday - it was excellent. Lovely group of people and Emmanuel was an excellent teacher (his book looks good as well). I went home with a bag full of lovely bread that my family COULD NOT believe that I had made myself. I had never... More
