I'm a CAP pastry chef and I have all the basics, but with voila chef's courses, I really feel like I'm learning new things, more advanced and perfected techniques, and I've made considerable progress. What's more, the courses are extremely well explained, the videos are clear and easy to follow, and all the recipes I've tried have been 100% successful, and above all, they're also excellent in terms of taste.

Le partage de connaissances d'aussi grands noms dans le domaine est un pur bonheur! Leurs explications sont justes et précises, et juste suffisamment détaillées. Les vidéos sont de bonnes qualité, et les recettes sont extras, toujours avec "facile,moyen, difficile". Le seul truc qu'il manquerait ce serait de pouvoir poser des questions au MOF. Mais sinon, j'adore cette plateforme!
