Thank you for such a great time! I met some great people, ate some great food and learnt some fantastic new skills!
Reply from Supplier: thank you very much for your kind review! It was a pleasure having you and Hilary and I only wish I could have spent more time in your company. Even though it was a very full-on and noisy course, I could see and enjoy your passion for patisserie and I hope to see photos of your baking!! Take care and thank you again, Marlene

I truly loved it! Marlene and Marc are warm & welcoming hosts, and their home is beautiful. Marlene is a talented instructor, with great experience, technique, and patience. Marc's meals were delicious; his energy & humor created a relaxed amosphere. I learned so much, and also made new friends!
Reply from Supplier: Dear dear Nancy, Thank you for choosing our home for your holiday, we feel privileged to have met you! Those couple of days in the kitchen were really fun and productive. We are very glad you enjoyed it, and really grateful for such a great review! Thanks x Marlene & Marc

Marlène and Marc do a wonderful job! From the minute I walked in the door, I was made to feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. Marc's food is scrumptious- every meal was ridiculously, deliciously lovely. Also completely unexpected- I hadn't thought we'd eat and drink quite so well. And Marlène's tuition is great. Her pace, patience and sense of humour create an atmosphere where learning is fun and enjoyable. We worked collaboratively, and together, managed to create amazing things.
Reply from Supplier: Kate, thank you so much for a fantastic review! Most of all I am delighted you enjoyed your stay with us, and hope you, Tanya and Serena had a great time for the end of your trip! All the very best from both of us Marlene

Marlene's Patisserie course has been one of the best experiences I have ever taken part in. I learnt so much over a short period of time and I had lots of fun in the process. Marlene was so welcoming and friendly and the skills she taught me will be with me for life. Thankyou for an amazing time!
Reply from Supplier: Christelle, thank you so much for such a brilliant review, it is ever so kind of you. I hope to come and visit your pastry shop/café one day! Happy new year hun x Marlene

My daughter and I were made very welcome by Marc and Marlene, nothing was too much trouble, and we felt part of their lovely family. The other girls on the course were great . We learnt lots and have successfully made a couple of things since coming home. All the meals we were given were super.

M HELEN OKEEFE, BRISTOL, UK - May 2013
Thanks to Marlene and Marc I had an amazing, fun and filling time on this course. The accommodation, breakfast and lunches were entertainingly provided by Marc (Marlene is not the only good cook in this house). Marlene was patient, supportive and very enthusiastic teacher. I had a fabulous time.

Marlene and Marc are great hosts and Marlene a superb teacher. The accommodation was very comfortable and they made us feel very much at home. I have to say, the food they provided for our breakfast, lunch and evening meals was superb. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

I really enjoyed my pastry course! Wish it could have been for longer! Marlene and Mark were wonderful hosts and the course offered a nice balance of r&r time as well as course time. Room and food were fantastic too. Definitely recommended!

We enjoyed two full days of fun learning with Marlene and my wife and I. With their superb house in a peaceful setting the whole experience exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended the course to work colleagues.

This was an incredible experience that I will remember forever. I loved the hands-on learning and the small class size. Mark and Marlene were the perfect hosts...the meals were amazing, the rooms were extremely comfortable and their company was delightful! I would recommend this course to anyone.

This was SUPER! Cooking with Marlene is like cooking with a good friend who knows more than you do and is happy to share the secrets! It was exactly what I was looking for. I hope to go back in 2012 for the country cooking class.
