Be transported to the whimsical patisseries of Paris as you learn how to create the irresistible classic French Macarons, live from your very own kitchen.
Join Chef Michele from her Cape Cod kitchen for an afternoon of baking. Classically trained in French cuisine, Chef Michele will teach you how to create these infamous French meringue-based cookies!
She 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 and assembling. You will learn to make a vanilla buttercream to fill your macarons. But, feel free to break out any jams or spreads you have on hand at home! Nutella is another easy and satisfying option for filling.
You will receive an email with the equipment and ingredients list so you can prepare your measurements ahead of class. The main ingredients required to bake along with the chef include: ground almond flour, confectioners sugar, egg whites, granulated sugar, vanilla, cream of tartar, butter and milk.
Prepare your mis-en-place ahead of the session, by measuring out your ingredients, and get ready to whip up some delicate and delicious French Macarons!
