A hands-on class culminating in a tasting of the class's macarons. A hearty snack of bread and butter, cured meats, cheeses, and a seasonal salad will be served with wine and beer.
Oui, oui, we love the macaron and know many in its legion of fans. From the first bite through that delicate shell, to the chew of the filling, feather-light macarons are a treat to eat. Join Jennifer Altman who will lead the way through the techniques of making these perfect cookie sandwiches. Students will learn how to make, pipe and bake perfect tender little almond cookies with their requisite "foot" and how to make silky meringue buttercream and how to flavor it to create signature macarons.
