Great online training platform. The videos are very detailed, and the professionals are very educational. So you can reproduce the recipes at home, even if you're not a specialist. If you're still hesitating, go for it!

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.

Ce que j'aime avec Voilà Chef, c'est que que les recettes proposées sont celles de Meilleurs ouvriers de France et de grands chefs ! Ce sont eux aussi qui, de façon très didactique, réalisent les recettes. Les vidéos permettent de faire des pauses et de revoir encore et encore certaines parties techniques. Cela permet aussi de voir les gestes et les textures attendues.

On peut ainsi sortir des réalisations d'exception sans pour autant être Chef 😉Bref je recommande vraiment (partie pâtisserie pour ma part)!

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!
