I highly recommend the macaron class to anyone looking for a fun experience in Paris - whether you have an interest in baking or not.
During our recent visit to Paris, my daughter and I participated in the Macaron Class. Chef Sarah led our class, with the assistance of her sous-chef Isabella. Chef Sarah’s exuberant energy and enthusiasm made learning the intricacies of macaron baking both fun and easy. As she taught, she masterfully wove both her personal experiences and professional knowledge into an easily understood narrative that made learning from her an absolute joy – plus we got to eat/keep the fruits of our labor at the end. As chef Sarah taught, Isabella worked in the background, producing bowls of ingredients as if by magic, spreading and covering the filling to flash chill, and likely countless other things that I didn’t even notice – allowing us to focus on making macarons. All of the dirty dishes seemed to disappear into thin air, as the dishwasher would sneak into the back of class to collect dishes from the “dirty bin” – everything ran smoothly and efficiently.
Although the ingredients were staged for the class, we performed all of the sifting, mixing, baking, cooking, and final assembly of the macarons. Chef Sarah did make it clear that making macarons at home would be a more time-consuming process, as we would likely not have access to some of the same equipment/resources as a professional chef. As an example, we used a flash chiller to cool the fillings during the class – something that we would likely need to use a regular refrigerator for at home. We also didn’t have to do any of the dishes, so that’s an extra bonus!
I honestly don’t think I could recommend this class enough, and I would love to take another class!
THANK YOU for such a glowing review and recap of your experience in our macaron class. Of course, you did an amazing job. You must come back again to sample another lesson with us and please share your results when you try this at home. Macarons are a labor of love
