Great Experience!
Bri_C, Oct 2022
Our guide/chef and the experience were wonderful! I have even more respect for what pastry chefs go through to make macarons! It is a very delicate process so you will mostly likely be corrected but in a humorous way. The macaron party at the end was so cute and there were plenty for everyone to take.
Response from Host, Oct 2022

What a great time. This is a beautiful Cooking School where we spent 3 hours learning and making Macarons. Our Chef was very knowledgeable and guided us well. In the end, we had Macarons and Coffee/Tea and even had 2 boxes full to take with us. I believe they do other types of classes as well.

Bonjour Frederic, I am glad you enjoyed your whole experience at Le Foodist making macarons so much. From the Chef to the space, through the tea/coffee tasting at the end, before leaving with boxes full of them.
