I recently attended the muffin course at this school and unfortunately I was very disappointed.

The ingredients measured out for us before we arrived were incorrectly measured leading to some mixtures being too wet and others being far too dry. No real guidance was given on what the correct measurements should be. I thought this was inexcusable as we were told by the lady running the class that the secret to good muffins was to be very precise with the measurements. We were told that we did not need sugar in the fruit muffins which meant, in my opinion, they were far too bland.

Finally, the muffins did not last. We all took home a selection of nine which we finished baking after 9pm. I took them into work the next day and they were inedible. When I was complained I was told that muffins do not last â¬ I appreciate that they might not last for weeks or even days but I thought 24 hours would be reasonable.

Overall, very disappointing and far too expensive.

I knew l'atelier from its Paris ventures and my wife attended some classes back there. I had the chance to attend a Cook, eat & run session on a lunchtime, and were delighted.

Lesson went well with precious details. The sales part of the lecture, i.e. when the chef demonstrates how great the knives which happen to be on sale cut was fine and not too heavyhanded. Food was delicious with all these fresh ingredients.

I was just deceived by the simplicity of the recipe, but that was to be expected for a one hour class including class, practice and tasting. I would therefore probably go back in the evening for a more extensive class.

Overall, a great venue, a great team, a great concept that can make great present or corporate event.I knew l'atelier from its Paris ventures and my wife attended some classes back there. I had the chance to attend a Cook, eat & run session on a lunchtime, and were delighted.
