I love the course! Game changer one: The many YouTube videos you and Kate have made. Many updated, creative ways of making French dishes, some I've not had in many years. It is such fun, it's like reconnecting with old friends! Game changer two: Your creative and effective communication in teaching the techniques to make the dishes is really wonderful, it's these updated techniques that have been so helpful. I like your emphasis on not only how, but why, and the effect the changes will have in the finished dish. My adorable husband has been having a great time testing all my newly crafted dishes.

I’m having a terrific time going through and cooking through many of the courses. To date I have completed the following: Mastering French Sauces at Home, The Gastronomad Journey, Cooking Potatoes Like a Chef and The Chef’s Plate. All of the courses have rekindled my interest in fine dining in general and as I near retirement it has renewed my desire to cook more.

I am just sinking my teeth into your French sauces course. I am so impressed with how professional, detailed and complete it is. Stephane I’ve been watching you for years, since you first appeared on YouTube. So happy to see your meteoric rise and hard-won sucess. You do everything with such commitment and earnestness. It’s a privilege to having been learning from you all these years, and to now explore your beautiful on-line courses. You have inspired me not only in the kitchen - but I just signed up for a “French Culture Through Film” course at my local college! Vive la Stephane & Kate!
