French Macarons

Description

Be transported to the whimsical patisseries of Paris as you learn how to create the irresistible classic French Macarons.

Skip the trips to the bakery and learn to make macarons yourself. In this class Chef Cregg will be teaching you the art of making these petite and beautiful dessert cookies. You will try your hand at whipping meringue and mixing batter packed with cocoa flavor. Once the cookies are ready, you will learn how to pipe decadent silky chocolate ganache fillings to create delicate macarons that are sure to impress!

Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who is happier observing and assisting (or taste testing). You will work with others in your booking party,.

The Chef will provide disposable gloves and aprons for you to use during the class. Masks recommended except when eating or drinking. You will be seated with your booking party, otherwise social distancing guidelines will be in place. We welcome guests ages 18 and older.

Really great class. I learned so much. Cregg is a good teacher, patient, supportive and very hands on. This isn't a 2 hour class however. It's closer to a 4 hour class because there was so much necessary curing and drying time between steps. I didn't mind at all but I can imagine if I had had something scheduled for right after the class that would've been a problem. I am looking forward to more of his classes.

Class was excellent and Chef Cregg was outstanding. The only area of improvement I could suggest is to make the class duration more realistic. The two hours scheduled for the class was not nearly enough.
