Making Melt in Your Mouth Macarons

They come in colours as bright as summer flowers, with each irresistible bite taking your taste buds on a ride into confection ecstasy! Now you can make macarons under the watchful eye of a top chef. A three-hour class for anyone with a sweet tooth and an eye for pastry perfection. The class takes place in the comforting surroundings of a kitchen in a private apartment, creating a relaxed fun environment. You’ll learn the art and the secrets of making macarons (it’s not easy!) and once baked you’ll be able to take these Parisian patisserie classics away, along with the recipe itself. So no excuse not to try making them when you get home.

About your guide: 

For Meeting the French, touring the Eiffel tower is 'old school'. They don't herd you onto a bus and have you driven to the famous sights. Oh no, they focus on intimate and original experiences which celebrate the French lifestyle and culture, helping you to see the real Paris. The city they call home.

Here’s the plan… 

Head to the private apartment of Chef Marthe, then over the course of the next three hours; you’ll learn from her how to make these little patisserie pieces of heaven!

She’ll guide you through the processes, giving you tips and hints and the secrets to macaron making. Two delicious flavours need to be chosen (deciding may be harder to than the baking!) from ingredients such as chocolate and cocoa, lemon, raspberry with tonka bean, coconut with milk chocolate or coffee. You’ll then put your baking skills to the test as you create your Parisian gems.

You’ll come away, not only with your baking efforts and the recipe itself but also with the knowledge of how to master a macaron. Then share your efforts with friends before heading back into full tourist mode. Knowing the next Patisserie you walk past, you’ll be able to say…’I can do that’.
