Chef Michael's artistry extends beyond the kitchen, as he combines the science of chocolate with the art of confectionery. His classes are a captivating journey into the world of handcrafted chocolates, where you'll learn to create exquisite truffles, pralines, perfect macarons and more.
Chef Michael Poole trained at the world-famous Cordon Bleu in Paris and graduated as valedictorian of his class. He was awarded the 2012 Master Award Medal by the International Chocolate Salon for the Best Chocolatiers and Confectioners in America.
His classes are interactive, with a warm and approachable demeanor, he encourages questions and a hands-on approach to learning. Michael's classes are a delightful blend of education and entertainment.

The class was incredible! I surprised my fiancée who is a self taught baker. While she had a lot of the techniques already down the instructor kept us as the same pace and didn't make me feel bad about asking for help.
Hearing about the instructors background and qualifications also added to the overall experience and made the class so much more special.
I'd highly suggest this class for anyone looking to do something fun with a loved one or group of friends.

Amazing experience!
The rich colorful history of the chef's life paired with the stories of the origins of different chocolates really made this class above and beyond. i was initially worried about date changes but luckily we where fully accommodated. an even enjoyed the intimate setting even more. The rich cultural backgrounds of the kitchen restaurants where a plus and loved the rustic vibe of the atmosphere.
I recently took a chocolate making course with Chef Michael Poole and it was absolutely fantastic! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but he also had a warm and friendly personality that made the class so enjoyable. The hands-on experience was such a treat, and I loved how he guided us through the process step by step. I highly recommend Chef Michael Poole for anyone looking to learn the art of chocolate making. Thank you for an amazing experience! 5/5 stars
