Romantic French Macarons, with Tess Kelly

Valentine’s Day is upon us and what could be sweeter for your sweetheart than to make visually beautiful, absolutely delicious French macarons? In this part demonstration, part hands-on class, led by pastry chef Tess Kelly, you’ll learn the secrets of making these iconic confections.

The flavor spectrum of French macrons can be endless, but we’ll focus on two classics: pistachio and chocolate. You’ll receive recipes for a few other flavors as well, and once you master the technique you’ll be off and running! How sweet is that?

This part demonstration, part hands-on workshop is limited to 10 people.
