REVIEWS

“Before you arrived, we only had a chef trainer who came sporadically for the main menu, but not for breakfasts or desserts. I could see that the teams were much more receptive to your approach, which I really appreciated.

The training process was excellent, and I would love to make it an ongoing annual event.

I truly appreciated your attention, flexibility, and genuine effort to ensure that each chef team got the most out of your teachings. I can already see a difference—not only in what they can now produce from their kitchens but also in their level of pride and commitment.

Thank you so much, Charlotte—I’m so glad we connected!“

“It was a pleasure to meet you and learn so many new things in such a short time. You are an excellent teacher with great teaching skills. I really liked the way you delivered the material during class. Also, you are a very kind person. Thank you for everything, and I wish you all the best in your next destination. Keep pushing forward and stay blessed.“

“Miss Charlotte,

Thank you so much for your training. I learned many things from you about pastry. You have great teaching skills and hospitality knowledge. I also gained new recipes. Asante sana! I wish you all the best in your next destination.“

“Thank you for your excellent training, Charlotte. Your clear explanations and patience really helped me understand the new recipe effectively. I truly appreciated your knowledge. “

“It has been a genuine pleasure for our resort to have worked with Charlotte. Before she came on board, we were buying our breakfast croissants and pastries from outside vendors, and these lacked a homemade feel. We were, therefore, thrilled with Charlotte’s offer to show us how to make all our baked goods in-house. From day one, she put 100% care and effort into training our chefs how to make a curated selection of French desserts, and helped give creative input on how to present and serve them. Her instructions were clear and well-received by everyone on our kitchen team, and the results of all the baked goods were stunning. Our chefs are now confident in making everything she had taught them, and enjoy utilizing their newfound skills. We are grateful to have partnered with Charlotte, and recommend her to those who want to elevate their pastry game.“

“Thank you so much, Chef Charlotte!  We truly appreciate the time and dedication you poured into the pastry and bakery training. It was an incredible experience, and the results have exceeded our expectations. Several of the amazing products you introduced during the training have already found their way into our Tea Time Packages, including:

• Macarons
• Fruit Mousse
• Butter Cookies
• Madeleines
• Financiers
• Croissants
• Tarlettes
• Marble Cake

We’re thrilled that our team has successfully grasped 95% of the production methods you shared. We are confident this will elevate our offerings to new heights. That said, we’re currently awaiting additional support for the necessary ingredients and equipment to fully optimize production.

Once again, thank you for sharing your invaluable expertise with our team. Your guidance has made a lasting impact, and we look forward to continued collaborations in the future.“

“I was looking for a pastry chef to train my resident chefs at a remote African Safari Camp in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya when I came across Charlotte’s Instagram handle. I was immediately struck by the clarity in her content “Accessible and uncomplicated French pastry recipes that could be replicated anywhere in the world”. After a couple of video calls I offered Charlotte a proposal to fly to Kenya to train my chefs. Charlotte curated a set of recipes using ingredients and equipment that could be easily sourced anywhere in the world. Over the course of 2 weeks, Charlotte displayed a tremendous sense of professionalism and pride in her work to completely overhaul our entire pastry and dessert offering at camp. I was blown away by the quality of the end products. Charlotte is a super friendly and easy going personality, but above all a consummate professional. She was able to improvise and adapt to the challenging conditions that were on offer. I’m grateful to have enlisted Charlotte’s services and will highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn the fine art of French Pastry making.”

“I really appreciated your efforts and support in regards to the pastry lessons we undertook together. I believe that the skills and knowledge you passed to me will do alone to improve my job. Thanks for your time and support for this project I have enjoyed much.”

“The impact of Charlotte’s pastry training at Enkusero was very impressive! I was able to visit the safari camp both before Charlotte’s training, and during. Before, the desserts were nice, but presentation was lacking and nothing was particularly memorable in terms of taste or diversity. Which honestly was understandable considering everything was being baked in the middle of the African bush in a solar powered “tent” kitchen! But I couldn’t believe the quality and diversity of desserts that the team made with Charlotte’s training — mini eclairs, buttery croissants, delicious homemade breads every meal, custards, even macrons, and so many other delicious treats… I looked forward to what would be served every day, and was continuously impressed with the level at which each pastry was prepared and presented. You could see the staff enjoyed what they were learning, and we got to see their creativity and confidence expand during Charlotte’s training as well. Even with challenges like frequent power outages, not being able to source certain ingredients, and a broken oven, Charlotte was calm, patient, and able to constantly adapt and be resourceful — no guest would have ever noticed anything was amiss. Having Charlotte’s pastries served at every meal was one of the highlights of my stay at Enkusero!”

“We visited here in November 2023 and the four nights we spent there were a life treasure.I was impressed by the stunning scenery, the many animals and the beautiful accommodation.Wiliiam and Alex, who did the game drives, find all the animals on safari. They introduced us to more animals than we could count.The food was really good. Chef Robert and Jennifer, the dessert person, cooked everything to perfection.It was the best four nights we have ever had! Would recommend to all!Thank you!!!!!!!”“

“This was our last stop in a nearly month long trip to Tanzania/Kenya. Our host, William, was a great safari guide. Had the pleasure of seeing cheetah (twice!), leopard, and many wildebeests. I highly recommend lunch with hippo watching whenever possible. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Animals wandered through the camp and guards were always on point. Our last night barbecue was truly special with another Chef Robert win. Jennifer provided fabulous service and amazing desserts that we are still discussing at home. (…)“
