- 5/5 from Bairbre Connolly, attended Jan 2026: Hiroko is amazing!!! My mom and I had a fantastic time making Gallete des Rois with her in her home kitchen. She is talented and very patient, with a lot of great experience to share!! Thank you so much!
- 5/5 from Vincent Hughes, attended Jan 2026: This was a wonderful hands-on experience! Hiroko was very friendly, welcoming, and engaging. We had a lot of fun as beginners, and Hiroko is so knowledgeable and passionate about her craft that I'm confident even experienced bakers would learn a lot.
- 5/5 from Kishan Patel, attended Dec 2025: Hiroko Takizawa is an amazing instructor! She makes the environment very welcoming and warm. She instructs and encourages her students to truly try to make it themselves with support as needed! We made Gateau Opera Au Matcha and it was filled with layers and complications that require you to understand the balance between temperature and creativity. Fantastic experience and highly recommend.
