Full description

Put on your chef aprons and ready your whisks for a delightful journey into the world of baking! This engaging and interactive class is your gateway to mastering the art of creating the classic 'Gerbert' or 'Paris Macaron,' a delectable French meringue-based almond sandwich cookie easily replicated in your own kitchen. Credited to the famous Ladurée tea shop on Paris' Champs-Elysees, the macaron, though celebrated as a French delicacy, traces its origins back to Italy during the Renaissance, deriving its name from "maccherone," the Italian term for fine dough.

Under the guidance of our classically trained Pastry Chef Instructor, the mystique surrounding these coveted cookies will be unveiled. You'll embark on a comprehensive learning experience, from a detailed demonstration to hands-on practice in meringue mixing (macaronage), piping, baking, and assembling. Beyond mastering the basics, we'll dive into exploring various flavor profiles and filling variations to elevate your macarons, making them truly unique.
