French Macaron

Description

Be transported to the patisseries of Paris with this classic French Macaron class!

Don your chef aprons, grab your whisks and let's get baking! In this fun and interactive class, you will learn the fine art to making these mouthwatering morsels that are easy enough to be done in your own kitchen! Together with our classically trained Pastry Chef Instructor, we will demystify the making of these highly sought-after meringue-based sandwich cookies. Our Pastry Chef Instructor will take you through a detailed demonstration, before you will be guided step-by-step in replicating the process of meringue mixing, otherwise known as 'macaronage', piping, baking, assembling and of course, eating! We will also explore a few flavor profiles and filling variations (including chocolate ganache) to make your macarons really stand out from the rest!

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. 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’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you’re part of a large group. Guests in the same booking party will sit and work together throughout the class. Outside drinks are not allowed. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. 21+ only.

Meet your chef instructor
Chef Jennifer's passion is cooking authentic regional cuisine with a room full of newfound friends. Her culinary career started at a young age by peeking over the counter to watch her grandmother make the most amazing huckleberry pies in Cherokee County, Oklahoma. This love of food and culture brought her to The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY to study Culinary Arts. She moved to Houston to pursue her Bachelor’s from the Hilton School of Hotel and Restaurant Management at The University of Houston. After her formal education, she spent ten years in the industry as a manager and food service director, but she knew her heart was in sharing the love of food with others in the classroom. This will be her 12th year teaching culinary education in high school and college. She looks forward to making food memories with you all very soon.

This was such a fun class. I enjoyed teamwork with my coworkers and my macarons were literally blown away. haha my partner and my batter was a little thin. Combine that with the extra humidity from the rain and we needed a little more time for the skin to form. That did not change the flavor though. We laughed and enjoyed everything. Chef Wells was great! We took lots of pictures and she was a good sport and joined us when we asked.
