Booked Chef Zach of Dallas Chocolate Classes for my birthday party with friends and it was a wonderful experience! Chef was very informative and made the class a lot of fun. I would highly recommend booking Chef Zach and the Truffle class for your work or friends group!
Chef Zach was great! My wife and I were simply looking for something different and unique for a date. Everything Zach promised he delivered. An incredibly tasty chocolate dessert we made with our own hands…. and confidence to be able to make it for our family and friends this holiday season!Zach was so nice and patient in his explanations and teaching. He was very knowledgeable about chocolate and its history… and how to find it and use it for baking. We had such a nice experience learning more than we ever thought there was to learn about chocolate.Even though the private couple experience was very special, the one thing we left wishing was that we had shared this experience with another couple or two. And we plan on doing just that in the future!Plan on learning, but mainly having a good time being together with a new experience! You won’t regret it! We will be back!
Truly incredible experience I had with Mr. Zach . He is very friendly, knowledgeable, experienced and welcoming. I had a great time with him. Really got to know so much new things about chocolates, cocoa, cacao & many more things. We made rum chocolates Truffles, it was awesome just melt in mouth. I read a lot about him. Thanks a ton to him. I am truly glad. Must recommended.
Chef Zack was very professional, full of knowledge and a great communicator. We had a wonderful time and cant wait to take another class!
My family loves dark chocolate, so I hoped to learn a recipe that could be easily shared. Eventually my husband and I choose the dark chocolate mousse class.We expected the steps for making mousse to be broken down into manageable steps, but we did not anticipate that we would also learn about dark chocolate production.Chef Zach was an amazing instructor. Making mousse looked very complicated in print and video, but he made it very easy! In fact, because Chef Zach encouraged us to infuse additional flavors to our mousse, we enjoyed a dark chocolate mousse flavored with hazelnut and coffee. While our mousse chilled, we even sampled additional dark chocolate.Please consider taking a class. You get to enjoy what you make and you get clear instructions on how to make more.Definitely worth it!
Chef Zach delivered a fantastic baking with chocolate experience. My wife and I joined Chef Zach in his home for a couples class where he directed us through the steps to prepare our own chocolate masterpiece, the famous French Mi-Cuit. While the dessert was baking, Zach educated us on different types of chocolate and the chocolate making processes used in the U.S. and Europe. We got to sample a few chocolates to compliment the lesson! Once our chocolate dessert came out of the oven, we got to plate and sample one of our warm creations. Zach boxed our second sample, and we took it home to enjoy the next day. I highly recommend this unique chocolate experience with Chef Zach. Great idea for a unique, fun and educational date night experience.
We took a class this weekend from Chef Zach for our date night and it was perfect! We learned a lot about chocolate and loved how hands on the lesson was, we feel confident that we can make our tarts again on our own but are definitely planning more date nights to learn the other dishes offered. Chef Zach was very knowledgeable and patient with our first try.
Looking for a fun and interesting class to take virtually or in-person? Chef Zach teaches his classes in an easy to follow format with clear instructions. Learn some baking tips and tricks from a true professional...perfect for all skill levels. And you will learn some interesting facts you never knew about all types of chocolate. Loved the FAMOUS FRENCH “MI-CUIT” class! Thanks Chef Zach!!
My wife and I had an excellent experience with chef Zach’s chocolate class! We had fun learning in a comfortable environment from a very knowledgeable chef. My wife and I are amateur bakers so we really enjoyed talking to chef Zach not only learning about chocolate but also a variety of baking topics.
He was so knowledgeable and did a great job teaching us about chocolate. We really enjoyed the class and the cakes we made were delicious!
Ive taken a few classes at Dallas Chocolate Classes and each has been a great experience. Zach is a great instructor who has impressive expertise. Before each session, he contacted me to establish an agenda. Also, he does a ton of prep before each session, so when I arrive for the class, we are ready to start. All the ingredients are put out, and theres a definitive plan to follow. He also gives a copy of the recipe, and you get to take home the finished product!
Loved this! Beyond grateful for Chef Zach! We did a private class for my moms birthday and loved every bit! He explains everything about the process and what is important to the art of making Truffles! Really enjoyed the experience! He went above and beyond! Thanks Chef!!
Enjoyed this so very much! Zach is awesome as he gives you the history behind the dish as well as teaching you the difference between types of chocolate. Can’t wait to book another class!
Chef Zack was WONDERFUL! I am by no means am an experienced baker and he made the process simple and easy. He was extremely helpful, informative and was such a warm person to be around. I would and will come back to continue to learn about baking and chocolate. Thank you, Chef! Look forward to seeing you again and following up on how baking the desserts we made came out at home!
My 12 year old daughter and I made pâte sucrée and lemon curd tarts with Chef Zach via Zoom. It was so much fun, and the finished product was delicious! I have little experience with baking, but Chef Zach made the process very easy! I am looking forward to learning more!
This is my second client appreciation party I have done with Zach. My clients just loved him! He is personable, knowledgeable, and very interactive. Everyone learned so much about chocolate and they left with some great recipes as well as their own hand rolled truffles! My clients are still calling and thanking me for such a great experience. If you are looking for something unique and a lot of fun, schedule a party with Zach!
I attended a one hour class of Zach Townsend at the Dallas Chocolate Festival. I found his style easy to follow, engaging and very informative. I have done a lot of baking (including classes) but learned some very valuable tips about why things work and therefore increases the odds of it turning out well. Definitely look forward to another class.
I took Chef Zachs Dallas Chocolate class to celebrate my 30th birthday with my sister and it was AMAZING! I was really impressed by his professionalism and regard for safety during this COVID crisis. Even before booking the class, Chef Zach answered all the questions I had, helped me choose a Dessert Theme that would accommodate my personal taste (Chocolate Tartlets), and gave me a really good idea of what to expect from the class. Chef Zach is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and professional. The best part of the process was walking away feeling like I had gained enough experience to try this recipe and work with chocolate on my own. He taught us about chocolate quality, how to work with it, flavors, etc. Highly recommend if you are a chocolate lover! I will definitely be taking another class in the future! :)
A different and very fun experience. Informative session about chocolate. Would definitely go back!
Hey folks,Recently my wife expressed her desire to spend some girl time with her sister and our daughter absent of the men and boys! Enter Zach Townsend, and Dallas Chocolate Classes! Zach knew just how to create a world-class afternoon for all of the ladies I love most in this world. To ensure the menfolk are no where around, we will all be in the middle of Lake Texoma with Colt Burst fishing that day. Just by mentioning a small part of the forthcoming 3 hour chocolate immersion to my wife after a long day, her eyes filled with delight and anticipation. After sharing with Zach my wife was the owner and President of Lavenderbean.com - he quickly amended the days agenda to include coffee! He even hinted at the possibility of the day inspiring a new t-shirt design. If you can get on his schedule, Zach is ready to create that special day for the ladies in your family. No doubt the ladies will follow up after their special weekend. Thanks Zach
Chef Zach was terrific and the classes were very informative. My family took two different classes and thoroughly enjoyed both! Chef Zach made the classes seem as if time flew by while we soaked in as much knowledge as we could. The classes are definitely something we would consider doing again!
Chocolate and wine it’s magic made in heaven. Thanks to Zach at Dallas Chocolate Classes my colleagues and I now have a rich understanding of how the two go beautifully together. A fun and vibrant experience sitting down with colleagues and getting to try wine with chocolate what more could a person ask for. I would like to thank Zach for creating such a unique experience for us! If your looking for fun, intriguing, and tasty experience then I would highly recommend Dallas Chocolate Classes.
Zach was such a joy to learn from. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and took us through every step from the ingredients to the finished product. We learned what goes into making baking chocolate, and the subtle differences between some of the store bought chocolates and cocoa powders. My fiancé was interested every step of the way and couldnt stop talking about how much fun he had. If we weren’t moving, we would go again and again and again! Thanks Zach!!
We hired Chef Zach for a team building event to come to our office for a holiday party and we loved it! The activity was very fun, interesting, and engaging and we had a lot of laughs and Zach taught us a lot of fascinating things about chocolate. This was one of the most unique activities we’ve ever done as a team and I’d highly recommend it.
My fiancee and I had an absolutely amazing time with Chef Zach. We learned so much about chocolate in general and how to make a simple yet delicious dessert which we cannot wait to use to wow family this summer. I signed us up for a cooking class but instead found a wonderfully informative and fun experience that myself and my partner will remember for the rest of our lives. For the price, Chef Zachs couples classes are an easy day-date idea that will absolutely impress for a fair expense. Thank you Chef Zach, you will be hearing from us again!
Thank you. We learned a lot and had a great time.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CLASS!!!!!! We took a couples class last night and made the Mi-Cuit and it turned out amazing! I would definitely recommend this class and give it 100 stars if I could!! He knows his chocolate! Dont hesitate to take this class, its worth every dollar! Ill be back to take more classes.
Wife and I went to a couples class to make Smokey Whiskey Chocolate Truffles and we had such a great experience. Zach was very welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. Along with having fun making the truffles we were fully educated about the intricacies of cacao and smokey whiskey. We also left feeling ready to try to make the truffles on our own. You should definitely take one of his classes!
I booked this for our work Christmas party and it did not disappoint. Chef Zach is an amazing teacher. The presentation was thorough and delicious. Definitely a great team building activity for work!!
Zachs class was awesome! I surprised my wife with an anniversary chocolate class and Im glad I chose Dallas Chocolate Classes. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Very informative and happy to answer the questions we had and the entire process was just the right amount of time. Oh, and the Mi Cuit was absolutely amazing!
Had a lovely time with Chef Zach learning all about chocolate! Hes incredibly knowledgeable and ensures a great learning environment to create delicious things!
I have attended one of his courses and would absolutely love to attend all his courses.Amongst all the chefs that I have ever taken courses with/formally or informally, I find him quite a perfectionist & a gentleman. Chocolates and of course food have always been my interests and I am absolutely amazed by his culinary skills.I will recommend his classes to anyone who is passionate about chocolates or is just looking to spend $$ or quality time in refining their culinary knowledge. I wish my schedule works out someday so that I can take a complete download of his knowledge by attending all his classes.Go, book his class!Youll know what I am talking about.

I even learned A LOT of AH-HA baking tips !!! The entire experience was FANTASTIC!! Zach is a must for anyone seeing a personal DELICIOUS ENJOYABLE baking memory!!
