SOME WORDS FROM our HAPPY STUDENTS….

“I am fairly new to the French Cooking Academy and I already absolutely love it. Not only does it give you delicious recipes, it also teaches you real fundamental cooking techniques that will improve your skills in the kitchen. Stephane is brilliant, he is friendly, likeable, really attentive and takes the time to interact with people taking the classes - his videos and recipes are excellent. Highly recommended!!”
RICHARD LEE VIA FACEBOOK REVIEWS
“I was attending a culinary school here in Toronto and was happy to find French Cooking Academy’s on-line course to carry on my studies. I find the courses as good, or better than the in-person instruction I was doing before. Stéphane is a skilled chef and an excellent instructor. His knowledge of the history and origins of techniques and recipes really elevates the experience of learning these vital techniques. Anyone who loves to cook, or just wants to learn, will find this course very rewarding!”
DAVID PLANK VIA FACEBOOK REVIEWS
“The course is geared towards home cooking, however as a professional Cook I have learnt and gained so much from this. I highly recommend joining this academy.”
RAV KHANGURA VIA FACEBOOK REVIEW
“The ‘Get Started with French Cooking’ course is fantastic, some really great techniques, that I doubt I would have learned about if I didn’t do your course. I can safely say that my cooking skills have improved a lot since doing this course (my wife thinks the same).”
ADRRIAN WADDINGTON VIA THE FCA CLUB
“I am an American who loves French art, culture, and especially cuisine! I especially love pates and terrines from Paris. I never in my wild dreams imagined that I could actually learn how to make Pate from Paris at home. But thanks to Stephane’s French cooking academy I am now enjoying making my own French pates and terrines at home in my own kitchen. Stephane is passionate about teaching the art of French cuisine. What’s so great about Stephane and his French cooking program is that he keeps the tradition of a genuinely French cuisine yet makes it really accessible for all of us! If I can learn French cuisine at home, you can too.”
DAVID ZAMERO, STUDENT, BISTRO CHARCUTERIE FOR BEGINERS
“This is great course and I was blown away by pretty much all the sauces. The fresh tomato sauces, the versatility of the mayonnaise, Noily Pratt and tarragon…. A whole new word of flavour for me. The bar is set a lot higher than the beginner’s course and I enjoy the medium complexity cooking.”
TIM MCARDLE, STUDENT, MASTER FRENCH SAUCES AT HOME
“Congratulations to your nice online cooking class. I can tell you that I have been benefiting from and enjoying the course a lot....to the degree that I immediately signed me in for your sauces courses as well.”
KERSTEN GUTSCHMIDT, STUDENT, GET STARTED WITH FRENCH COOKING
“I very much enjoyed the course. It was very thorough. The material was well presented and easy to understand. It certainly brought my cooking skills to the next level. My friends enjoyed the meals that I prepared using the course guidelines. I had a lot of fun.”
MAX MTZ VIA GOOGLE REVIEWS
“An excellent course that is very well delivered and easy to comprehend and follow. It will improve your abilities, no matter what your level is. Looking forward to using the recipes and techniques in the years to come. La Gastronomie est L'Art de utiliser la nourriture pour créer du bonheur!”
BART CLEARY VIA GOOGLE REVIEWS
“The accessible communication style in combination with a high level of cooking standards struck me when I came across the French Cooking Academy on YouTube. Entering the French Bistro Charcuterie Course has changed my life as a chef and took my cooking skills to a next level. I'm a happy student learning a lot and having great fun.”
JOAN MIK VIA GOOGLE REVIEWS
“I've been following Stephane for several years now, whether through his YouTube channel, website, or various courses. His cooking lessons have been fantastic, yielding both fantastic recipes and crucial techniques which have saved and improved many a meal. Do yourself a favour and take advantage of his hard work to make french cuisine accessible.”
