“We loved the baking class at Pistache, Chef Nicolas was a wonderful teacher and our products are delicious.” -Sue G.

L’Alliance is proud to partner with Pistache NYC to offer three different French pastry making workshops! Learn how to make croissants, madeleines, macarons, pain au lait, and financiers while improving your French.

Held at Pistache NYC’s professional kitchen in Brooklyn, these three-hour workshops are taught by chef Nicolas Buchot who will instruct students in making authentic French pastries, while also discussing their history and place in French culture. Executive chef Buchot was born in France and classically trained in the art of baking pasties. He was a finalist in the 2011 “Best Young Baker of France” contest and has worked in France, Mexico, Estonia and NYC’s Maison Kayser before joining Pistache.

Classes are offered at the A1/A2 level and B1+ level.

All levels are offered during the week and on Saturdays, and are limited to 6 participants. Options include croissants, madeleines & macarons, and pain au lait & financiers.

Level A1/A2 workshops are taught in French and English.
Level B1+ workshops are taught exclusively in French.”

    Great group and L'Alliance NY representative. I now feel like I can navigate through France and communicate most of what I need to say and hear. I could not recommend this program more!

    The opportunity to converse about interesting topics. I wouldn’t change anything.

    Soha is the best! I love our group of students and she really knows how to teach grammar and makes it fun… I can visibly see our class improve each session.

    Everything. Above all, the teacher, the skill level of student participants, the dialogue and the instructional expertise. I wouldn’t change anything.

    I enjoy the focus on getting the students actually speaking in class. Other materials are presented in the homework, so it doesn’t take away from the time in class where more active participation occurs. I wouldn’t change anything.

    How easy it is for conversational interchange among all the students. The group is small enough and not intimidating, so that everyone gets his or her chance to talk.

    I liked the interaction with my peers, the skits we have to prepare in class, the readings we have to do out loud, the compositions we have do at home, and the teacher’s sense of humor.

    What I liked most about the class is that it’s very inclusive, so nobody feels left out… Estele makes it fun and interactive.

    The emphasis on speaking helped with my confidence.

    The kinship with the other students.
