Hard desition

In the beginning I was very hesitant to sign myself up for three months For me that s was a high amount However as time went by Chef Majk changed my approach to high-end cooking and presentation Today I m glad I signed up My approach to cooking has widened and I m more encouraged to tackle the unknown in the Michelin culinary world

Elevate your home cooking with Chef Majk

Great investment for passionate home cooks who want to elevate their cooking to the next level I ve been cooking since I could remember but it is always the average stuff that you can get from a decent restaurant I was always fascinated by the beautiful plating and flavour combination that fine-dining restaurant presents I thought to myself only people who ve been to culinary school and had years and years of training can do that Which is partially true With Chef Majk s coaching I ve learned to have a new mentality and approach toward cooking His coach style is completely different than your standard cooking course which gives out recipes to the exact measurements and you just follow the recipe mindlessly He provided you with enough instruction so that you can learn through trial and error but not to the point of holding your hand Chef Majk is also always available to answer any of your questions and doubts I do agree with the other reviews that Chef Majk could improve his course by giving some sort of visualisation for certain techniques For example a picture of how dark the sauce should be or how this vegetable should be cut to preserve the shape From now on I believe I could slowly build up my own fine-dining recipes and hope I might be able to open up a little restaurant myself

A very happy amateur cook

I found out about Chef Majk from his youtube channel and got very interested in his approach you don t normally see detailed fine dining recipes and plating on that platform and booked 10 sessions recipes with him It has been an amazing experience for me I m someone who likes to cook and to entertain friends and family but usually follow tried and tested recipes I sincerely believe that after this personal coaching I ll be wanting to experiment more and try my own flavour combinations Chef Majk won t give you exact recipes he ll walk you through the different components for each recipe by giving you the basic explanation of the process and techniques to get them done the rest is up to you - do you want sweeter spicier more sour you decide At the end your plating wasn t great the balance of the elements was off Try again after all that s the only way you ll be able to come up with your own tasty dishes I had lots of fun preparing the recipes and finding myself intrigued about the flavour combinations I was putting out on the plates some recipes were easier to balance others were a bit of a disaster - all elements tasted good separately but I couldn t make them work out together But I know next time I will do it better Overall I had great fun and believe I learned a lot from this and would recommend the coach to anyone who want to learn a bit more about fine dining cooking and plating It is not easy and you ll need some time investment but it s totally worth it

12 classes learning cooking foundation and plating design - Recommend

I have been having about 12 classes with Chef Mail and I can t believe how fast and how much I learned with just a few classes I used to make recipes by watching YouTube videos but was forgetting those recipes a few weeks later With Chef Majk I learned the cooking foundations that are essential for any recipes How to make a soup how to make a pur e Chips cook different kind of meat broths etc Those skills I can now reuse them in my everyday cooking for friends and family They all noticed the big change over time and I am happy about it He also helped me get better at plating design through constant feedbacks Would recommend it for sure

Not your typical cooking class

This isn t your typical cooking class Do not expect down-to-the-gram recipes and step-by-step instructions which makes the learning curve even steeper But if you re willing to put in the work it will take your cooking skills to the next level Over the course of 12 sessions with Michal I got a solid grasp of the main French cooking techniques such as the main sauces different types of stocks or things like plating or using different garnishes to elevate a dish Michal was always available to answer any questions whether it was helping me buy the right ingredients or clarifying on the cooking process

Chef Majk s mentoring class was an amazing fun and educational experience

Chef Majk s class and coaching was absolutely amazing The biggest thing that home chefs are missing is the opportunity to receive constructive criticism and objective feedback When you cook for family and friends they will almost always tell you that your food is amazing because they know that you worked hard at it and they hopefully love you But that means you don t know what to fix and what you an improve Being able to get the instruction and feedback from a professional is what I needed to become a better cook Chef Majk assigns a new dish each week for you to cook and plate He does not have you blindly follow a recipe or copy a plating that he created This approach guides and teaches you but allows you to be creative and learn The actual assignments are well thought out and challenging He challenges you to make things that are not something a home chef typically makes and encourages you to be precise with your plating and knife work In just a couple of months I became a much better cook and improved my plating immensely I can t thank Chef Majk enough for the opportunity to work and learn with him This class is truly worth the money for any home chef that wants to improve It was fun informative challenging and educational

My best culinary experience

Always cook at home normal food with no concerns about presentation or combining the right ingredients or including different textures on the food I am a lover of fine Dining and how the food is presented and how in such a small plate we can travel around the human senses and experience different feeling with food When i decide to have Cooking Classes and be mentored by Chej Maj Michael i was looking to be able to learn and specially to understand the Techniques behind the Fine Dining cuisine something that will help me to elevate my cooking level and help me on my Cook Journey After 3 months of mentoring I feel that I have learn so much that I understand now the basic techniques learn about new ingredients how to create different textures in one dish something that will help me with my journey and for sure will elevate the way I cook and share my passion with others I am so blessed that I took this trip with Chej Majk that help me on increasing even more my love for food and for cooking with more passion and more know-how on the Whys and Hows of Gastronomy Thank you Chef Thank you Michael

Personal training in the kitchen

Learning to cook with Majk is like having a personal trainer at the gym Majk challenges you to go beyond your limits I was a passionate home cook for many years and you should have advanced cooking skills to benefit from his class but Majk has taken me to a different level I used to follow recipes only but Majk tought me to understand the cooking process so that I am now confident to cook without recipes His plating tips have also helped me to improve the presentation of my dishes Thumbs up Majk Highly recommended

An experience I ll never forget

Chef Majk gave me something culinary school and work probably never would have taught me The concept of fine dining can be difficult to grasp but he helped me understand it more and apply it across different dishes - from starters to mains to desserts He definitely had extensive knowledge on the culinary arts and I feel so lucky to be one of his students and learn from such a talented chef Once again thank you
