Reviews of professor Genevieve Meli

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I had her for IPP. She set me up to fail with my pate de fruit by assigning puree that did not work with pectin. Had me remake it 4x without it working a single time. I learned in chocolate class that it was not working due to the acid in the puree and not because I was not following the recipe. As a chef with a CMB, she should have known this

Chef Meli is a very well-respected teacher and I loved her class. Sometimes she is a little harsh, but it is mostly because she truly cares about her students. She may seem scary but all she wants to do is see them succeed. The only thing I would say is that she does have some favoritism that sometimes affected students' confidence and or success.

Really difficult and she used time of the class for outside things of her.

Would always nitpick about many different things. Would take points off for asking questions, took points off for not raising my station up and didn't tell me, took points off for not being confident. Anytime I'd ask a question I'd be made to feel like an idiot. Very hard chef. Respected her as a person, but not as an instructor.
