Meytal Limony
I am a professional pastry chef, trained at the world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu in London. I have years of experience working as a pastry chef in hotels and restaurants in Tel-Aviv and London. At my latest position I was head pastry chef in a fine dining restaurant in London, overseeing the entire pastry department, producing desserts daily as well as creating the dessert menu for every season.
I also have a BFA in film and television and worked as a photographer and video editor for over 6 years. My pastry career started as an amateur pastry chef. From a young age I loved baking and it was a hobby that took over my life but remained a hobby for a while. While working as a photographer, I worked on developing my pastry skills and building my home-based pastry business of bespoke specialty cakes and cupcakes, eventually deciding to study pastry and pursue it as my main career. Therefore, I am remarkably familiar in how to build yourself as a pastry chef and how to progress in this field.
Also, I have years of experience in frontal teaching to adults as well as children and I know how to build courses and lessons in a way that is both engaging as well as educational.

I have always loved baking, but I never had the patience. She makes it look easy, which makes me feel confident in trying everything out myself! I think in some sections there could be more lectures, recipes or examples, but regardless I think it is a fantastic course! It explains the logic behind the steps, she gives suggestions, in case if you would like to reduce sugar, or would like to do a vegan version. For a beginner, who is interested in pastry but do not have the time, possibility, or resources to attend a pastry school, this is a great alternative. I would 100% recommend it!

she explains everything very well and she shows examples

I appreciate the passion from the instructor, though I can only do so much in terms of measurements and essential tools. However, I am learning and this is a good start for me.

I love all of Meytal’s baking classes, I purchased most of them. It’s a lot of info and many tips and recipes. She explains and demonstrates everything. I love that there’s pdf ‘s of all of the recipes, it makes it super easy.
By Joe Bob on 4/16/2026
This is an awesome course for beginner bakers! The recipes are super easy to follow, and she teaches you so many cool bakes! I would definitely recommend this course for a beginner that wants to improve their skills.

She is a very skilled professional and explains every detail. The only thing that will need to be for Udemy to work is the captions sometimes puts incorrect words. For example the word "yeast" the close caption used "east".
By Cathrine Scheepers on 3/17/2026
Very useful and informative. Though I would like a bit more information on oven and stove settings. Not always as clear when to use fan and preheating vs not also when to use a high, medium or low pan heat. For the meringue section I would have liked a bit more information on the difference in sugar ratios since French and Swiss can use less sugar for softer textures eg for hard vs soft meringue. I would have like some more information on what type of meringue and ratio for a pavlova vs macarons for example as well.

Excellent course. Your explanations were superb, both in each recipe and in the most important concepts of each ingredient and its use. Thank you so much for your patience and for sharing your knowledge. I highly recommend it.
By Ruby Malit on 10/13/2025
As someone with no background in cooking, especially baking, I found this course to be a great starting guide. The lessons are easy to follow and helpful for beginners. However, I think it would be even better if the measurements and explanations were a bit more detailed. All in all, very good!
