Los Angeles French Macarons BYOB Cooking Class

Be transported to the patisseries of Paris with this classic French Macaron class in LA! Don your chef aprons, grab your whisks, and let's get baking! In this fun and interactive class, you'll master the fine art of making mouthwatering macarons, easy enough to replicate in your own kitchen. The 'Gerbert' or 'Paris Macaron' is a French meringue-based almond sandwich cookie, popularized by the renowned tea shop Ladurée in Paris. Although these delightful cookies originated in Italy during the Renaissance, they became a celebrated French treat known as macarons, named after the Italian word “maccherone,” meaning fine dough.
Guided by your trained Pastry Chef Instructor, you'll demystify the process of making these sought-after cookies. Through detailed demonstrations and step-by-step instructions, you'll learn meringue mixing ('macaronage'), piping, baking, assembling, and of course, tasting! You'll also explore various flavor profiles and filling variations to make your macarons truly unique and impressive.
