Why Our Courses Go Far Beyond YouTube Tutorials
Sure, YouTube is packed with baking videos. But watching random content online isn’t the same as being truly guided by professionals who understand both French pastry and the American kitchen.
Here’s what sets our courses apart:
1. Precise conversions—no guesswork
We give you exact weight and volume equivalents (grams → cups, oz, tbsp…) so you never have to guess or Google mid-recipe.
2. US-friendly ingredients
You won’t be left wondering what “T45 flour” or “beurre de tourage” are. We provide clear American product equivalents available in stores.
3. Professional techniques made simple
We reveal the real pastry secrets—those you won’t find on free content. From perfect macaronage to lamination with no butter leaks, our step-by-step HD videos are designed for clarity, precision, and success.
4. Structure, not chaos
We give you exact weight and volume equivalents (grams → cups, oz, tbsp…) so you never have to guess or Google mid-recipe.

Hody Academy
A Family Story
Our culinary journey began eight years ago with the launch of the first pastry subscription box, Le Chef en Box, as a family venture. Centered around Anaïs, the pastry chef, Julien, the older brother, handles business and partnerships, while Julia, the cousin, manages the brand image. Later, Laurent, our brilliant graphic designer, joined the team!
For three years, we also ran a pastry workshop in Paris, where we taught amateur bakers to deepen their skills.
Building on this experience, we created our first online course,
Pâtisserie en Ligne, over five years ago, followed by courses in french cooking and french baking.
